The Systems Engineering team ensures that Terran R comes together as a cohesive, high-performing, and scalable system. Within the department, one team focuses on building tools and processes to manage requirements, track decisions, and identify and mitigate risk - enabling faster, more informed development across the program. Engineers work across domains to understand complex problems, identify solutions, and implement them – all with deep technical knowledge, not just documentation. The other team focuses on the vehicle itself, working across teams to ensure all subsystems of Terran R function together as intended, burning down technical risk, and driving informed decisions at every stage of the vehicle lifecycle. Engineers are empowered to lead high-impact efforts, from major test campaigns to console operations during launch, and are trusted to drive improvements across fluids, structures, avionics, and more. Regardless of which team you’re on, you’ll be part of a high-visibility, high-impact department at a pivotal moment in the program, where decisions made today on trades, architecture, and process will shape not just the first launch, but the long-term trajectory of Relativity.
This Role is on the Vehicle Systems and Integrated Test team in Vehicle Engineering - the focal point for integrating stages and vehicles throughout their entire lifecycle. We specialize in cross-functional vehicle development, designing for operability, defining Concepts of Operations, and solving complex, first-time challenges that balance execution speed with risk. We’re hiring a Stage Responsible Engineer (RE) for integrated vehicle testing. You’ll collaborate with every function across the company to design, build, test, fly, recover, and reuse Terran R.
