Job description

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. We’re at a unique moment where early contributions shape the product, the process, and the culture, but the program is tangible and gaining momentum. Join us.

About the Team:

The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. This is where first flights happen and history is made. If you want to define what’s next in space launch, this is where you’ll be.

About the Role:

As an Infrastructure Engineer II, you connect various internal technical teams to define architectural, structural, heavy civil, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and industrial requirements, and you act as the owner’s representative to outside‑facing consultants and contractors. You’ll work closely with test and launch team members—such as infrastructure, fluids, electrical, command & control, mechanical, and support Test Operations—throughout test processing and operations. Your responsibilities include managing the development, design, and construction of new infrastructure projects, producing construction drawings, soliciting RFPs, conducting competitive bidding, evaluating bids, selecting subcontractors, managing subcontractors, and performing construction management. You’ll plan and execute work to install and operate best‑in‑class test site solutions, meeting rigorous cost and schedule requirements in a competitive environment.

About You:

You enjoy working with teams, can work autonomously, and have a strong background in field engineering, construction engineering, and project management. You are passionate about turning designs into reality, continuously engaging across technical and operations teams to achieve great outcomes, and are willing to travel up 25% to support design, construction, testing, and operations across Relativity’s sites.

Nice to haves but not required:

• Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Minimum 3 years of experience working in the aerospace or construction industry with hands‑on field experience and project management experience
• Experience with design documentation, construction drawings, construction bid solicitation, contractor selection, construction management, field supervision, permitting, QA/QC, and Safety
• Experience with project scoping, budgeting, and scheduling from both a day‑to‑day perspective as well as overall construction management
• Experience with Architectural, Structural, Civil, and MEPF design, construction, and operation
• Understanding of standard construction procedures, best practices, means & methods
• Experience working within 3D models using NX, AutoCAD, or similar CAD programs
• Experience with development, permitting, land use controls, conditional use permits, and working with local government agencies
• Demonstrated customer service excellence and ability to communicate highly effectively in verbal/written form with internal and external customers
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team environment
• Experience with direct responsibility driving projects forward while managing and reporting progress to remote management
• High organizational skills in managing multiple projects simultaneously
• Ability to perform and manage technically complex projects using independent judgment and personal initiative
• Recognize and act on opportunities; maintain flexibility to adjust as requirements and priorities shift or constraints change and anticipate them when possible
• Ability to work in dynamic environments to execute real‑time tasks in tight operation windows
• Licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.)
• Advanced degree or training in engineering, construction, operations, or project management
• Experience with facilities and systems within the aerospace industry
• Experience designing, building, or operating test or launch GSE within the aerospace industry
• Experience with FEM structural analysis
• Familiar with aerospace planning, procedures and operations, and safety (including LOTO)
• Experience working with state and federal government agencies
