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 operates at the intersection of every major aspect of the rocket program, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment.
The Launch team operates at Cape Canaveral and Long Beach, where first flights happen and the scale of operations is unlike anything in modern aerospace. This role supports the development, design, engineering, and construction of launch and test site infrastructure.
In this Staff-level position, you will develop and execute civil and structural engineering designs for new and modified launch and test site infrastructure, including drawings, specifications, calculations, design documents, and technical reports. You will coordinate with internal technical teams to define and integrate architectural, structural, heavy civil, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and industrial requirements. You'll apply engineering principles and project requirements to support the design and development of infrastructure for launch and test operations, collaborate with infrastructure, fluids, electrical, command and control, mechanical, and support operations teams to coordinate infrastructure requirements during launch and test processing and operations. You will provide technical engineering support throughout infrastructure procurement, construction, commissioning, operation, and maintenance activities, and review technical information, design requirements, and construction documentation to support project execution and identify potential engineering issues or required changes.
This is a high-impact role where you'll see your work come to life in record time, shape decisions across teams, and help define what's next in space launch.

- Professional Engineer (P.E.) license
- Working knowledge of applicable structural design standards and codes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, ACI 318, ASCE 7, and International Building Code (IBC)
- Experience applying standard construction practices, including construction means and methods, to engineering or field activities
- Experience using AutoCAD, Revit, or similar design software and structural analysis software such as SAP2000, ETABS, ANSYS, or similar tools; ability to work with 3D models using NX, AutoCAD, or similar CAD software
- Experience developing, interpreting, and reviewing technical plans, drawings, specifications, and 3D models
- Experience managing multiple projects or workstreams, including establishing priorities, tracking progress, and communicating status to stakeholders
- Ability to perform technical analysis and make engineering decisions using established standards, codes, procedures, and available technical information
- Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate technical information to engineering, construction, and project stakeholders
- Ability to adapt work priorities and execute assigned technical tasks in a dynamic environment where schedules, requirements, and operational constraints may change
- Must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at Cape Canaveral, Florida
**Nice to Haves:**
