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.
About the Team:
The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens.
About the Role:
- Lead electrical project design and construction activities for launch and processing facilities
- Work on electrical systems across voltages ranging from 22.5 kV to 120 V
- Support power generation and control, power distribution and protection, fault recovery, and sequencing operations for the launch of Relativity Space vehicles
- Develop construction drawings, requests for proposals, bid packages, bid evaluations, subcontractor selection, and subcontractor management
- Design electrical systems and provide design requirements for other disciplines, including work in hazardous environments
- Collaborate with management on the development of future Relativity Space Facilities
About You:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 6+ years of experience in increasingly advanced roles
- Professional experience in the aerospace or construction industry working with electrical systems, including a combination of analysis/design, field implementation, project management, and project execution
- Experience applying electrical engineering principles to projects in industrial or infrastructure environments
- Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams and manage multiple priorities
- Experience designing electrical systems for commercial/industrial facilities
Nice to haves but not required:
- Experience working with DoD, USAF/USSF, and/or NASA standards
- Prior experience in aerospace (orbital launch vehicle) facilities maintenance and construction
Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
