Relativity Space
About the Company
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.
About the Team The additive technology team leads research and development of Relativity’s Stargate 3D-printing platform and factory operating system to produce large-scale metal structures for the industrial base. The team works with robotics engineers, data scientists, systems engineers, and welders to advance Relativity’s innovative tech stack, which leverages autonomy, advanced simulation, machine learning, and robotics. Working at the intersection of hardware and software, the team is creating a unified platform that can perform additive manufacturing, in-situ monitoring, NDE, and subtraction capabilities in a single print cell. Progressing in parallel to Terran R development, Relativity’s breakthroughs in large-scale additive manufacturing have the potential to revolutionize the defense industrial base.
About the Role The Robotics and Perception Engineering Team is building out a novel type of cooperative robotic platform that utilizes our large-scale additive manufacturing systems. We will be inventing and innovating new ways to have cooperative robots create structures. Our team provides a system with which custom robots and additive systems can be built and integrated seamlessly. As a Staff Advanced Robotics Engineer, you will play a key role in the development and integration of robotics software and hardware for a cooperative robotics platform. You will be implementing perception systems (LiDAR, Area 3D Scanners, Motion Capture) with autonomous robots, robotic arms and AGVs to cooperatively complete tasks. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and test innovative solutions that push the boundaries of robotics and additive technologies.
