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:

Develop detailed process plans, work instructions, and work orders for the manufacturing of avionics hardware and wire harnesses

Conduct Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRRs) to ensure production readiness and risk mitigation before major builds

Collaborate with design engineers to provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback and improve product designs for ease of fabrication and assembly

Support build technicians during manufacturing by troubleshooting issues, resolving non-conformances, and implementing corrective actions

Work with supply chain and quality teams to ensure the procurement and inspection of high-quality avionics components

Analyze process performance and yield data to drive continuous improvement initiatives. Develop and maintain capacity and demand plan models

About You:

A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field

7+ years of experience in manufacturing, process development, or production support for avionics hardware

Hands-on experience with PCBAs, avionics boxes, or wire harness fabrication and assembly

Knowledge of IPC standards for PCB and cable assembly

Experience with process documentation, such as manufacturing work instructions, process control plans, and test procedures

Nice to haves but not required:

Experience with ramping from R&D or pilot manufacturing to full production

Familiarity with high-reliability electronics manufacturing and environmental testing

Experience with CAD tools (e.g., NX, Zuken, CATIA) for mechanical design and harness routing

Familiarity with PLM and ERP systems for managing work orders and production tracking

Understanding of AS9100 or ISO9001 quality management systems

Experience using data analysis/visualization tools to identify, track, and optimize manufacturing KPIs
