Sr Engineer - Electrical Engineering

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. 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 Stennis team at Relativity Space is responsible for designing, building, and operating top-notch test stands to support the Terran R stages, engines, and propulsion components. We are currently constructing our testing facility at the historic NASA Stennis Space Center, which is America's largest rocket propulsion test site. At this location, you will have the chance to gain practical experience with fully integrated engine and stage assemblies, test and push hardware to the limits, and observe rocket engines firing up close and personal! The Stennis team collaborates closely with engineering teams at various sites to design, build, and test critical infrastructure, ensuring a successful launch of Terran R and other groundbreaking projects!
