Building reusable rockets to empower science and exploration.
The Role

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

  • Manage project performance by reviewing labor and materials actuals, supporting analysis of actuals vs. plan, schedule status, cost/schedule integration and performance, corrective action plans, performance recovery plans, and baseline planning 
  • Provide timely and accurate financial information and recommendations to decision makers to make prudent business decisions 
  • Serve as a trusted business partner to the rest of the organization by driving key trade decisions, assessing the financial and operating impact of our decisions, and strategically driving the best outcome for the business 
  • Analyze complex production issues and support engineering in deriving smart and scrappy solutions to keep to production schedule, cost, and quality goals 
  • Conduct ad-hoc analyses as needed to support operational decision making.  

About You:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Finance, Engineering, or other related discipline and 2+ years of experience working in the aerospace, construction, manufacturing, or other related industry (Internship experience will be counted).
  • Financial modeling, analysis, budget tracking, and reporting skills required
  • Outstanding ability to build and interpret information from large and varied data sets
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills - including the ability to translate complex and ambiguous engineering and production requirements into clear and actionable financial decisions 
  • Proficient in Excel  

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Experience with manufacturing systems within the aerospace industry
  • Familiar with aerospace planning, procedures and operations, and safety
