Relativity
Avionics Battery Manufacturing Specialist I
Long Beach, California 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. This is a unique moment to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture as Terran R gains momentum. 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. About the Team:
The Avionics team is responsible for the full lifecycle of Terran R’s nervous system, designing, building, testing, installing, and operating the hardware that connects and controls every major electrical system on the vehicle and ground. The team’s structure intentionally combines avionics design, manufacturing, and test to enable rapid iteration and feedback loops. Engineers are deeply embedded into other functions within Relativity, working closely with propulsion, GNC, fluids, and stage engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and operation. Now is a unique time to join: you’ll get to help shape Terran R\'s fundamental avionics architecture and be given a high degree of ownership on components that will fly. About the Role:
Create Process Plans, Standard Operating Procedures, and other supporting documents to define the process to manufacture avionics. Hands-on assembly, rework, and inspection of PCBAs, avionics electromechanical and/or battery assemblies Build flight and development avionics hardware from the ground up — integrating PCBAs, connectors, cabling, thermal interfaces, fasteners, and enclosures into complete units Interpret engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, mechanical assembly models, and work instructions Drive avionics box builds on the production floor, ensuring consistent build quality, configuration control, and documentation of as-built configurations Collaborate closely with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and quality to troubleshoot build issues, implement process improvements, and maintain flight-readiness standards About You:
3+ years of experience in electronics manufacturing, with hands-on expertise in both PCBA rework, electromechanical assembly and batteries Strong mechanical assembly skills, including torque tools, bonding, and integration of electronics into enclosures or chassis In-depth knowledge of IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and general high-reliability workmanship standards Comfortable reading and interpreting complex electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and assembly documentation Excellent communication skills and attention to detail; capable of documenting build issues clearly and contributing to root cause investigations Nice to haves but not required:
IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, or NASA-STD-8739.x certification (current or expired) Experience with flight hardware builds for aerospace or space systems Familiarity with cable and harness assembly, including wire crimping, stripping, and routing (per IPC/WHMA-A-620 or similar) Experience working in a cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environment Background using MES/ERP systems for tracking work 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: $39.56 - $50.60 USD. 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.
