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.

About the Team:

The Avionics Development Technician team is responsible for testing avionics hardware and systems across the entire product lifecycle of Terran R: component-, subsystem-, and vehicle-level.

About the Role:

• Own and coordinate material procurement activities to support avionics development, prototyping, and hardware builds
• Manage material kitting operations, ensuring all required components are identified, organized, and prepared ahead of scheduled builds
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to review bills of materials (BOMs), identify material requirements, and resolve discrepancies
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all procurement, material availability, and kitting-related inquiries within the department
• Track purchase requisitions, purchase orders, material lead times, and expected delivery dates to ensure alignment with project schedules
• Proactively identify material shortages, procurement risks, and potential schedule impacts, communicating concerns to relevant stakeholders

About You:

• 2+ years of experience in procurement, material planning, inventory management, supply chain operations, or a related field
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, including formulas, data organization, filtering, and reporting
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and competing deadlines
• Experience tracking material requirements, purchase orders, inventory levels, or procurement activities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining accurate material records
• Ability to identify potential material shortages and proactively coordinate solutions

Nice to haves, but not required:

• Experience working in aerospace, defense, electronics manufacturing, or hardware development environments
• Familiarity with electrical components, connectors, wiring, cable assemblies, and related hardware
• Experience reviewing engineering bills of materials (BOMs) and technical documentation
• Experience using ERP, MRP, or inventory management systems
