Description du poste

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. OurTerran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launchcapacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock newopportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyondthe 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. Nowis a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, andthe culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The mostmeaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

The Vehicle Integration team turns design into reality, owning the final integration and checkouts of Terran R. Engineers and technicians work side by side, with deep collaboration and real-time feedback, to shape how we build better and faster. With a manifest and a launch date, it’s up to the team to deliver on Terran R: solving challenges in real time, optimizing for scale, and constantly improving processes. As the vehicle evolves, so will the factory, with opportunities to apply automation, machine learning, and advanced technologies. What we build here sets the blueprint for the future of scaled launch.

This is a first-shift position with a standard schedule of Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT. The role is structured around a 50-hour workweek, including 10 guaranteed overtime hours each week.

About the Role

• Support vehicle-level integration and test operations, including mechanical, fluid, electrical, and avionics systems, from build through test execution
• Plan, author, and execute integrated vehicle test procedures for Development, and Acceptance campaigns
• Lead test readiness activities including configuration verification, GSE coordination, instrumentation setup, and pre-test walkdowns
• Identify and mitigate hazards across multi-system vehicle environments to ensure safe and efficient test operations
• Collaborate closely with Engineering, Production, and Test teams to troubleshoot issues, drive resolution, and improve integration processes

About You

• High School Diploma or GED required
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in vehicle integration, aerospace testing, launch vehicle operations, or complex mechanical/electrical systems
• Experience authoring and executing detailed test procedures in a high-consequence environment
• Strong understanding of multi-system integration including fluid systems, electrical power distribution, instrumentation, and controls
• Demonstrated knowledge of test safety, hazardous energy control, and structured risk mitigation practices
• Ability to plan complex operations and execute with discipline while adapting to dynamic test environments

Nice to haves, but not required:

• Associate’s Degree or trade certification in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, or related technical discipline
• Experience supporting vehicle-level test operations such as proof, leak, functional, cryogenic, or integrated system testing
• Familiarity with aerospace test standards (e.g., MIL-STD-1540, MIL-STD-810, or equivalent)
• Experience with data acquisition systems, controls hardware, or automated test systems
