What’s it like to work at Relativity Space?
Relativity fosters a high‑impact, mission‑driven culture where engineers and technicians routinely see their work launch into space. The workplace blends on‑site collaboration in Long Beach with flexible remote options for software and support roles. Teams are cross‑functional, meaning a software engineer might partner with a propulsion specialist to iterate on flight‑control algorithms. Employees receive regular mentorship, access to cutting‑edge additive‑manufacturing facilities, and the chance to contribute to end‑to‑end rocket development.
What types of positions are available at Relativity Space?
Open roles span rocket propulsion, avionics, software development, systems engineering, manufacturing operations, quality assurance, supply‑chain logistics, data science, and business functions such as finance, legal, and HR. Each role requires a blend of technical expertise and the ability to work in a fast‑paced, iterative environment. Recent openings include 3D‑printing technician, flight‑software engineer, propulsion analyst, manufacturing process engineer, and business operations analyst.
How can I stand out as an applicant?
Showcase hands‑on experience with additive manufacturing, simulation, or data‑driven design—project samples, code repositories, or publications strengthen your profile. Highlight cross‑disciplinary projects that link hardware and software, and quantify results (e.g., improved thruster efficiency by 12%). Demonstrate familiarity with Relativity’s tech stack (e.g., Python, C++, CAD tools) and articulate how you’ll contribute to shortening the launch cycle. Finally, research the company’s recent launches and prepare questions that reflect a deep understanding of their 3D‑printing strategy.
