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.
Team:
We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our growing team to support Relativity’s Test and Launch sites. The Test and Launch teams at Relativity Space are responsible for designing, building, and operating world-class test and launch infrastructure to support Terran R test and launch operations. As part of this team, you will be primarily focused on the build and operation of launch infrastructure at Cape Canaveral, FL. While the primary focus is Launch Site centric, you will also support cross-departmental projects and tasking related to both the Test Infrastructure at Stennis, MS and Launch Infrastructure at Cape Canaveral, FL.
What you’ll do:
Your mission is to ensure that both test and launch sites are the best in the world. You will develop and coordinate the execution of a site strategic roadmap encompassing infrastructure and operational needs to successfully support Terran R test and launch operations. You will be responsible for strategic relationships with both internal and external partners.
Where others add complexity, your primary role is to simplify internal requirements and operations as well as external supplier performance. You will be expected to leverage your leadership and soft skills to bring together test and launch operations, site logistics, infrastructure, and vehicle engineering to drive successful site operations and support of the Terran R program.
You will be expected to bridge the gap between technical engineering teams and communicating roadmaps and progress to our executive team. Working with key stakeholders, you will coordinate development initiatives to define objectives and key results that track progress across an array of technical problems and phenomena related to designing, building and operating a world class launch site.
- Develop, maintain and track overall project schedules and budgets through on-site representation
- Develop, track, and analyze metrics pertinent to team performance; help drive areas of opportunity to maximize team output
- Identify key Launch needs and goals through coordination with engineering and build teams
- Engage with launch operations and engineering leadership to maximize collaboration & engagement between Relativity groups to drive key decisions
- Communicate project and operational progress across various stakeholder groups
- Review, analyze, and optimize systems and processes that impact overall site program deliverables
What you need to know:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or related technical field
- 3+ years of experience in a program management role on a complex technical project
- Must be able to work independently and report to remote management
- Experience managing programs across matrix organizations, building sustainable processes, and coordinating design releases and key engineering trades
- Experience working with leadership (executive team, customer leadership, supplier leadership, etc.)
- Experience building schedules with one of the following: P6 Primavera, MS Project, Smartsheet, etc.
Nice to haves, but not required:
- Experience managing programs across matrix organizations, building sustainable processes, and coordinating design releases and key engineering trades
- Prior work on a launch vehicle or spacecraft
- Experience in a startup or agile environment
- MBA, Master’s in engineering, science, mathematics or related fields, or equivalent experience preferred
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.

What We Do
Relativity Space is on a mission to better connect humanity to space and the universe beyond our planet. Our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, Terran R, 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.
Why Work With Us
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.
