Long Beach, United States Relativity Full time

Company Overview:

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. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

About the Team:

The Avionics team is responsible for the full lifecycle of all electronics and supporting hardware central to operating Relativity's rockets. The team designs, builds, tests, integrates, and operates the hardware which controls the rocket in flight, downlinks critical telemetry, keeps the public safe, and deploys our customers' payloads to orbit Our hardware enables Relativity to reliably control our rockets while maintaining the flexibility to rapidly iterate our designs. As a member of this team, you will design innovative hardware solutions capable of surviving harsh launch and space environments. Your designs will support multiple vehicle systems such as sensors, propulsion, computing, actuation, energy management, and communications.

About the Role:

Work with Propulsion, Fluids, Structures, Flight Sciences, and other teams to identify and develop vehicle instrumentation requirements

Identify sensors and actuators such as pressure transducers; RTDs; thermocouples; accelerometers; solenoid valves; etc. that are suitable for use on the Terran 1 and Terran R launch vehicles

Collaborate with Avionics Hardware engineers to ensure designed system meets instrumentation requirements such as ranges, resolutions, sample rates, and cutoff frequencies

Maintain electrical interface and sensor/actuator configuration control: naming and channelization, serial numbers, calibrations, and data acquisition settings

Develop and execute on-vehicle sensor calibration and checkout plans

Oversee procurement, qualification, and acceptance testing of vehicle instrumentation

Up to 25% travel to our test and launch sites in Stennis Space Center, MS and Cape Canaveral, FL

About You:

Bachelor's degree or higher with a focus in an engineering discipline: aerospace, electrical, mechanical, etc.

3+ years of experience with development and integration of instrumentation and data acquisition systems for complex, mission-critical products (flight test, rocket launch systems, automotive, large-scale manufacturing, robotics, etc.)

Experience with sensors and actuators such as pressure transducers, RTDs, accelerometers, strain gages, frequency-to-DC sensors, microphones, thermocouples, solenoid valves, etc.

Excellent understanding of instrumentation and data acquisition fundamentals: measurement theory, Nyquist sampling theorem, DC circuit basics, grounding and shielding, analog-to-digital conversion

Demonstrated ownership, accountability, and success in delivering complex products with minimal guidance

Nice to haves but not required:

Experience writing test plans and documentation

Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB for data acquisition, recording, and analysis

Experience with instrumentation in harsh environments (cryogenic temperatures, high vibration)

Previous experience with COTS data acquisition systems such as NI, Curtiss-Wright, Safran, or Beckhoff

Understanding of digital buses such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI

Interpersonal communication skills
