Relativity Space is building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. The Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting growing demand for launch capacity. The company is developing a rocket, factory, and business from the ground up, with a culture emphasizing autonomy, ownership, and impact at every level.
As an Avionics Mechanical Engineer II, you will own the design, analysis, development, and delivery of electromechanical systems supporting Terran R Avionics. Your responsibilities include designing and optimizing enclosures, electrical interfaces, thermal accommodations, and interfaces to launch vehicle systems. You will ensure delivered avionics can survive launch and space environments, and solve complex thermal and structural challenges in tight, mass-efficient packaging.
This is a hands-on role for a self-driven engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments. You'll work from first principles to iterate on designs, perform analysis and testing, and help drive delivery of flight-ready avionics systems. You'll collaborate across teams in propulsion, manufacturing, software, and corporate functions, with your work coming to life in record time.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, packaging, and thermal management for aerospace or ruggedized electronic systems
- Proven ability to deliver mechanical systems from concept through qualification and flight
- Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent) and analysis tools for structural and thermal performance
- Hands-on experience building, testing, and debugging hardware in a lab environment
- Strong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally in fast-paced, rapidly iterating team environment
NICE TO HAVES:
- Familiarity with NASA or other spaceflight structural verification standards, environmental testing and qualification
- Experience designing mechanical systems for launch vehicle or spacecraft avionics
- Experience designing mechanical components for power systems and/or batteries, including material selection and thermal management
