About the job
At Relativity Space, we are revolutionizing the aerospace industry by developing cutting-edge rockets that address both current and future demands. Our flagship vehicle, the Terran R, is designed to deliver customer payloads to orbit, catering to the increasing need for launch capacity. This is just the beginning; achieving commercial success with the Terran R will open up new avenues for scientific advancement, exploration, and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Joining Relativity means becoming part of a culture where autonomy, ownership, and impact are paramount. Here, you will not only execute tasks but also tackle unprecedented challenges, contributing to the development of rockets, factories, and a thriving business from the ground up. Regardless of your department—whether it’s propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or corporate functions—you will collaborate across teams, influence critical decisions, and witness your contributions materialize in real time. At Relativity, creativity and technical excellence go hand in hand, and your insights will play a crucial role in shaping the stories we create together. This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture as you engage with the tangible momentum of the Terran R. Your most meaningful work awaits—join us!
About the Team:
The Vehicle Software team is responsible for developing the safety-critical software that powers the Terran R. Our work involves creating a distributed, real-time control system capable of operating under extreme conditions, such as Mach 5 atmospheric flight. With a rapid deployment cadence, you will have the chance to see your code in action on rocket engines on a daily basis. We are constructing new system architecture from scratch, and just as importantly, we are testing, releasing, and deploying it. While an aerospace background is not required, a proven track record in high-reliability software for complex systems is essential. This is a rare chance to shape the foundational software stack of the Terran R while directly affecting its performance, reliability, and success in flight.
