Description

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 a team of technicians in both short-term and long-term task planning, ensuring coordination between site operations and engineering teams. Manage daily task assignments and workloads to meet established deadlines. Balance team leadership responsibilities with hands-on field work to ensure effective project execution. Provide technical guidance, training, and mentorship to direct reports. Support critical operations, including site testing and launch campaigns. Ensure compliance with all safety and quality standards. Partner with engineering and leadership to develop and implement process improvements for recurring work. Track and order common tooling needed for daily operations and perform ROI analyses to justify purchases. About You: 5+ years of experience with data acquisition systems, instrumentation, or related field work. Knowledge of instrumentation, wiring, and signal flow. Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and schematics. Demonstrated ability to train and mentor others. Strong collaboration skills across teams and disciplines. Nice to haves, but not required: Previous leadership or supervisory experience. Knowledge of fluid systems and their components. 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. At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more!
