Vehicle Systems & Integrated Test Team- Staff Systems Engineer

Long Beach, California 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. About the Team: The Vehicle Systems Engineering and Integrated Test team at Relativity is a cross-functional group tasked with ownership of Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Terran R rocket and the integration of various subsystems into those stages, while also ensuring that the processes themselves are as efficient as possible. This team is the engineering focal point throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle, considering and managing the upstream and downstream impacts of various changes, driving vehicle architecture trades, tackling tough integration problems, defining Concepts of Operations, coordinating and executing vehicle level tests/launch, and striving to strike the balance between performance, launch/build rate, and reliability. About the Role: As a Staff Systems Engineer, you will collaborate with team members across the organization while contributing to the development of Relativity’s engineering processes and tools to enable the design, development, certification, and flight of the Terran R launch system. Projects and responsibilities include: Develop the Systems Engineering tools and methodology roadmap, helping align the needs of various disciplines and the overall project from development to launch. Build, continuously improve, or eliminate engineering processes to support an efficient, product-focused culture. Prototype, implement, and rollout processes, tools, and automation that enable better design and test collaboration across the company. Manage the vehicle design and development processes from beginning to end, ranging from working with department leaders on setting expectations, making progress visible, and ensuring the processes are effective. Provide engineering expertise to solve technical problems at all levels. To be successful in this role, you should be self-motivated, adaptable, and able to contribute significantly to a fast-paced integrated vehicle program. You should also be able to resolve ambiguity and drive projects to completion. Ideally, you have experience in Systems Engineering, Verification and Validation (V&V), and Requirement Management, Vehicle Configuration Management, Launch Vehicle certification as well as a proven track record completing projects successfully in a highly collaborative environment. About You: Staff: An undergraduate degree in engineering or related field and 10+ years relevant experience. Experience performing cross-functional engineering and integration for complex systems. Experience solving difficult problems with multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced environment. Proven track record of contributing to project completion. Experience workflows and automation within Jira or equivalent. Experience writing automation scripts in Python or other languages. Experience applying expertise in modern systems engineering practices and tools. Experience applying written and oral communication skills. Nice to haves, but not required: Graduate degree (MS/PhD) in engineering or related field and 10+ years of experience. Hands-on experience in the design, integration, test, and operation of complex systems. History of taking complex products from concept to production. Strong desire to learn new subjects to solve difficult and often ambiguous challenges. Experience with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). 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. Hiring Range: $176,000 - $225,500 USD We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. Apply for this job
