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. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

• The Integration subs technician role will play a critical role in ensuring that various components and systems of flight hardware are assembled, tested, and installed with the highest quality.
• The role requires a combination of technical skills, attention to detail, and knowledge of aerospace processes.
• Ability to operate in a fast-paced manufacturing environment to successfully build and install flight hardware.
• Collaborate with the production team, integration engineers and quality team to build, develop, and document job operations.
• Primary area of focus will be assembly, install, and testing of flight hardware through development and production of Terran R.

About You:

• Experience working in a fast-paced production environment handling flight hardware and performing critical operations.
• Possess a wide range of technical skills including but not limited to fastener/torque applications, secondary retention, testing, avionics familiarity, and bonding operations.
• Ability to effectively communicate (verbal and written) with engineering and production.
• Ability to set up and operate a wide range of hand and pneumatic tools along with calibrated tools and measuring devices.
• Must be able to climb ladders and be comfortable working in tight spaces.

Nice to haves but not required:
