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:
The Avionics team is responsible for all aspects of the electrical design on the rocket, from electronics, interconnects, associated mechanical design, testing and initial production. This team's scope includes the flight computers, power systems, RF systems, PCBA design, autonomous flight safety systems, and telemetry. This team works on complex electrical systems that require modularity and flexibility and are critical to the successful launch of Terran R and beyond!
About the Role:
- Assembly and manufacturing of PCBAs for development, test, and ground equipment use
- Perform quality checks and visual inspections of PCBs and PCBAs per industry standards
- Perform rework on development and flight PCBAs
- Support electromechanical assembly production, integrating PCBAs into mechanical enclosures
About You:
- 2+ years experience as a soldering technician, specializing in application-critical, high-complexity Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs)
- Prior certification in industry-standard soldering practices, demonstrating proficiency and adherence to stringent quality standards
- Demonstrated Experience with electrostatic discharge (ESD) handling and safety procedures to ensure the integrity and reliability of sensitive electronic components
- Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, which may involve standing for extended periods or lifting up to 25 pounds
Nice to haves but not required:
- An associate degree or higher in electronics, avionics, or a related field
- Current or previous certification in IPC J-STD-001, IPC-A-610, or similar industry standards, reflecting advanced soldering skills and commitment to quality
- Demonstrated expertise in fine-pitch soldering, rework, and repair of complex PCBA assemblies, with a keen understanding of advanced soldering techniques and best practices
- Capacity to thrive in a dynamic, high-pressure aerospace environment, consistently meeting rigorous performance and quality standards

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.
