Job Details
At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle 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.
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. Whether you're in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you'll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and
technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we're writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it's early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.
About the Team:
The Vehicle Software team is responsible for the software on all Avionics boxes on the vehicle. This spans the operating system image, the applications running on those boxes, and software configuration and deployment. We are also responsible for the test infrastructure required to validate the software, such as the HITL and HOOTL test environments. Finally, our team supports rocket manufacturing and system test efforts starting with Avionics box testing, engine testing, stage integration and checkouts, stage qualification/hot fires, and concluding with stacked vehicle testing and launch.

About the Role:
- Write concise documentation such as Concept of Operations, Interface Control Documents, and Software Design Documents.
- Work closely with internal Software and Hardware certification teams as well as external regulators and IV&V contractors to consistently deliver flight safety software and test artifacts for review. Take extreme ownership in ensuring Relativity's AFSS gets certified in time for first flight.
- Develop safety critical software for AFSS including bootloaders, command and telemetry services, device drivers, software state machines, and handling of flight termination events.
- Integrate best practices, tools, and lessons-learned between safety and non-safety critical embedded software teams, ensuring both teams are able to support vehicle software projects throughout the Terran R development lifecycle.
About You:
- Bachelor's in computer science or related technical field and 3+ years relevant experience in software development.
- Proficient in C/C++
- Experience with software development processes including source control, bug tracking, and design documentation.
- Experience capturing, decomposing and deriving formal software requirements from system level requirements.
- Demonstrated experience working collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
Nice to haves but not required:
- Master's in Computer Science or related technical field and 5+ years of experience in software development.
- Experience with verification and validation of safety critical software.
- Prior work on a launch vehicle.
- Experience in software safety standards, such as RCC-319, DO-178, ISO 26262 or exposure to MISRA C/C++.
- Experience with Embedded Linux, VxWorks, FreeRTOS, and writing device drivers for embedded focused operating systems.
