Job summary

Relativity Space, Inc. is seeking an Avionics Material Planner to own end-to-end material planning for Terran R avionics assemblies, from components to box-level integration.

You’ll collaborate with Avionics Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing, and Launch teams to derive demand from multi-level BOMs and schedules, influencing decisions without direct authority. You will assess ECO/ECN impacts, manage flow to contract manufacturers, and develop forecasts that improve MRP accuracy in our ERP

Qualifications

• Must have 4+ years in material, demand, or production planning.
• Direct experience planning avionics or high-reliability electronics hardware.
• Experience supporting NPI or development-to-production planning.
• Strong knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing data.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end material planning for avionics assemblies, from EEE components, connectors, bare boards, wire, and cable through PCBAs, wire harnesses, and box-level integration hardware.
• Collaborate with Avionics Engineering, Sourcing, Manufacturing, Integration, Test, and Launch teams to derive material demand from multi-level BOMs and build schedules, influencing decisions across functions without direct authority.
• Identify long-lead and high-risk items ahead of formal design release using preliminary BOMs and engineering input, and recommend risk buys, early material authorizations, and buffer strategies, making sound calls with incomplete data and clearly explaining the tradeoffs.
• Assess the material impact of engineering changes (ECOs and ECNs) and part revisions, including obsolescence, excess exposure, rework or scrap decisions, and effectivity across builds.
• Manage material flow to contract manufacturers and harness suppliers, including consigned and turnkey kitting, shortage tracking, allocation of constrained components, and clear-to-build readiness, while running the build-by-build Material Readiness process under tight deadlines.
• Develop avionics material forecasts and planning processes that inform Sourcing strategy, support the transition from NPI to production, and improve MRP automation and accuracy in our ERP platform.
