Company Overview:
At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
About the Team:
We are looking for a Senior Network Engineer to join our growing team at our headquarters in Long Beach, CA. In this role, you will be part of a team supporting our company’s efforts in designing and implementing complex Networking and Cloud Architectures supporting all aspects of our business. You will be responsible for engineering and support of all aspects of Networking for a division of our company, working closely with Engineering and IT teams to implement robust solutions and create meaningful network and instrumentation.
About the Role:
To help us secure our rapidly growing 3D printing capabilities and rocket manufacturing, as a Principal Network and Cloud Engineer at Relativity, you will
• Enhance Relativity’s Information technology team to support our rapid growth across multiple sites.
• Design reliable, high-speed networking solutions to support unique video and telemetry requirements.
• Architect network security controls to enforce multiple layers of defensive security.
• Detect, research, analyze, prevent, and mitigate network capacity and performance issues.
• Ensure we continue to implement and follow best practices across our network and cloud infrastructure to achieve our mission and goals.
About You:
To be successful in this role, you should have 7+ years of experience as a Network Engineer, ideally in a mix of dynamic, hyper-growth environments as well as mature enterprise environments with a heavy focus on emerging technology, engineering excellence, robotics, and manufacturing. Prior experience in designing and building highly performant and reliable network architectures in campus networks, data centers, complex hybrid-cloud environments, network security, performance and capacity analysis and instrumentation, and a deep passion for creative, hands-on technical problem solving are critical. You thrive in ambiguity, are passionate about technology, and have an untiring focus on quality and results. You may have served as the liaison between developers inside of emerging tech incubators and corporate network engineering.
Minimum Required Skills and Competencies:
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field to include one of the following (computer science, computer information systems, computer networking) and 7+ years of experience in network engineering
• Strong working knowledge of cloud network architecture and tools
• Expert working knowledge of campus level routing and switching
• Expert working knowledge of network security including firewalls, 802.1x (NAC), and traffic analysis
• Expert working knowledge of network performance monitoring and troubleshooting
• Significant experience performing network problem and performance triage
• Strong experience with wireless networking
• Able to build creative solutions that empower developers while maintaining compliance with NIST 171-800 and other relevant standards
• Industrial IoT / Industrial automation experience – MQTT / OPC UA
• Eager to explore, develop with, and become an expert on networking technologies such as PTP, multicast, TSN, and FluidMesh / Cisco URWB
• Prioritizes root-cause analysis over workarounds when troubleshooting
• Experience with RTOS hosts and industrial ethernet protocols (PROFInet, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP)
• Understands network latency & jitter, can propose solutions to improve both
Nice to haves but not required:
• Master’s degree in a technical field to include one of the following (computer science, computer information systems, network security), and 7+ years of experience in network engineering
• Expert knowledge or certification for AWS Networking
• Experience across all lines of Cisco and Fortinet products
• Experience managing network as code
• Current secret or TS clearance

What the Team is Saying
What We Do
A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable launch vehicle, will reliably deliver payloads to orbit on-time and on-budget for customers – meeting the needs of growing demand for space infrastructure. Leveraging the benefits of additive manufacturing to design, test, and iterate at a pace unmatched in the industry, we are changing the way rockets are built and flown.
Our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to fundamentally expand the possibilities of the human experience. The first step toward this vision starts here on Earth, by building the next great commercial launch company.
Why Work With Us
For 60 years, aerospace manufacturing has relied on fixed tooling and complex supply chains to slowly build rockets comprised of hundreds of thousands of parts. Leveraging advances in additive manufacturing, Relativity Space is strategically focused on reducing vehicle complexity, cost, and time to market.
