Avionics Test Engineer II

About the Team: 

The Avionics Test & Operations team is responsible for testing avionics hardware and systems across the entire product lifecycle of Terran R: component- subsystem- and vehicle-level. As an Avionics Test Engineer at Relativity Space you will be responsible for designing developing and executing avionics testing strategies for our rocket systems. This includes working closely with the avionics design team to identify and troubleshoot any issues and developing automation and testing infrastructure to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

About the Role:

• Develop frameworks and infrastructure to conduct qualification and acceptance testing of Avionics components on the Terran R launch vehicle
• Design equipment to facilitate Avionics component testing: simulation circuits auxiliary test equipment test harnesses mechanical fixtures and enclosures and system validation tools
• Work with hardware design engineers and software engineers to derive test requirements and methodologies
• Create and maintain test plans and procedures for avionics systems
• Integrate commission and operate test rack hardware and software to support component- and system-level functional testing 

About You:

• Undergraduate or graduate degree (BS/MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science Aerospace Engineering or a related field
• Experience with electronics hardware simulation or test
• Familiarity with data acquisition and control system platforms such as NI Beckhoff or similar 
• Experience working with electronics test equipment such as power supplies DMMs oscilloscopes signal generators and electronic loads
• Familiarity with common communication protocols such as Ethernet CAN UART SPI etc. 

Nice to haves but not required:  

• Experience with a schematic capture & PCB design tool such as Altium Designer
• Experience with analog sensors such as pressure transducers RTDs and accelerometers 
• Familiarity with embedded software development and integration for avionics systems
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB for data acquisition/recording and analysis
• Familiarity with wire harness design
• Familiarity with CAD tools such as NX

What We Do

Relativity Space is on a mission to better connect humanity to space and the universe beyond our planet. Our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket Terran R 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.

Why Work With Us

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.
