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 Launch Engineering team at Cape Canaveral is responsible for the design, construction, and activation of world-class launch sites to support Relativity's launch operations. This team successfully designed, built, and activated Launch Complex 16 for the inaugural flight of Terran 1. With the shift to Terran R, new challenges and site upgrades have emerged to accommodate the larger vehicle, driving innovation in infrastructure and systems. The team oversees all aspects of launch site development, including civil and structural infrastructure, as well as mechanical systems essential for Terran R's operations and launch. Working closely with teams across company sites and departments, the Launch Engineering team identifies requirements, develops design solutions, and executes engineering strategies to enable successful missions.
About the Role:
As a Structural Engineer, you will be responsible for both civil and structural design, engineering, drawings, design documents, and reports for our new launch and test infrastructures. You will connect with various internal technical teams to define architectural, structural, heavy civil, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, & industrial requirements. You will work closely with other test & launch team members including infrastructure, fluids, electrical, command & control, mechanical, and support operations during launch and test processing and operations. You will provide technical engineering support and information through the infrastructure procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance process.
About You:
Nice to haves but not required:
Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.
Hiring Range:
$112,000-$143,000 USD
