Relativity
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. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. 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 to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture.
About the Team The Integrated Performance team owns the holistic view of how Terran R comes together, ensuring that every system on the vehicle and ground is capable of achieving our ambitious objectives. The team works across the full launch system, from trajectory design and aerodynamics to reliability analysis and beyond, with direct influence on all parts of the product lifecycle, from conceptual design to post-flight data review. Team members engage hands-on with hardware and operations, with the mission and authority to drive meaningful programmatic change. The team spans multiple technical domains and embeds directly with partner teams to solve hard multidisciplinary problems, operating at a scale that enables meaningful impact for individual contributors.
About the Role As a Mission Assurance Engineer, you will work across all engineering disciplines to ensure mission-specific risks are sufficiently mitigated and our launch system is ready for flight.
Take ownership of risk tracking for a critical element of Terran R (e.g., fluids, structures, avionics, engine) and manage risk of that element throughout testing and flight
Organize and run flight readiness reviews to ensure technical readiness and flight data reviews to track action items and learnings from flight; drive actions to completion
Provide real-time (on-console) support for test and flight as the authority for vehicle risk; communicate to leadership and executive team as required and drive on-console resolution of technical risks
Support anomaly investigations as needed using fault trees, fishbones, and 5 Whys; resolve anomalies on the day of test and launch in real time on console
Perform independent assessments of subsystem and system designs to understand vulnerabilities, assess risk, and drive architectural decisions to improve vehicle reliability
About You
Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline
5+ years of experience with engineering problem solving in design, analysis, or test of systems
Nice to Haves, but Not Required
Experience with engineering risk management, engineering configuration, system safety tools/frameworks
Experience with anomaly resolution and documentation of anomaly reports
Self-starter and willing to continuously learn new skills to drive process and technology improvements
Compensation and Benefits Hiring Range: $142,000 – $181,500 USD
At Relativity Space, compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors. We offer a total rewards package including competitive salary and equity, paid time off, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more. For details on benefits, please visit our benefits page.
Equal Opportunity and Compliance We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
Export compliance: Relativity Space complies with ITAR. Certain roles require eligibility to access information controlled by ITAR; applicants may be required to demonstrate U.S. Person status or other export control eligibility.
Voluntary Self-Identification For government reporting purposes, candidates may respond to voluntary self-identification questions. Completion is voluntary, confidential, and will not affect hiring decisions. Information is used to measure equal employment opportunity compliance.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor OFCCP guidelines, you may be asked to provide information about disability status. This information is voluntary and kept confidential.
