    Default job background
    Description

    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 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.

    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:

    Relativity's Launch Infrastructure team oversees launch site design & build, ensures launch operation capabilities, and provides supporting new infrastructure projects, including recovery and refurbishment sites.
