Infrastructure Engineer I

About the Team:        

The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R from stages and payloads to ground systems launch landing and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen where history is built on top of history and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse high-cadence operations and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook not just repeat what’s already been done this is where it happens.

About the Role:  

As an Infrastructure Engineer you connect various internal technical teams to define architectural structural heavy civil electrical mechanical plumbing fire protection & industrial requirements and will be our owner’s representative to outside-facing consultants and contractors. You will work closely with other test & launch team members including infrastructure fluids electrical command & control mechanical and support Test Operations during test processing and operations. 

You will be responsible for managing the development design and construction of new infrastructure projects and will be responsible for the development of construction drawings request for proposals competitive bidding bid evaluations sub-contractor selections sub-contractor management and construction management. You will plan and execute the work to install and operate best-in-class test site solutions to meet stringent cost and schedule requirements in a very competitive environment. 

About You:   

As a member of the Infrastructure team at Relativity you will be at the forefront of creating world class engine and launch vehicle test sites. You enjoy working with teams and are able to work autonomously to ensure project completion. You have a strong background in field engineering construction engineering and project management and you have a passion for taking ideas and designs and making them become a reality in the built environment. You are a learner and doer at heart who continuously engages across technical and operations teams to achieve amazing outcomes. You are willing to travel up 25% to support ongoing design construction testing and operations across Relativity’s sites.

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.
