At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. Our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing push the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.

Experience, qualification, and soft skills, have you got everything required to succeed in this opportunity Find out below. Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality. About the Team: The Manufacturing team owns all process development, fabrication strategy, and production equipment for Terran R, our next-generation reusable rocket. This team has a wide variety of responsibilities – from factory floor layout, to developing complex tooling for novel processes, and interfacing with our vehicle engineering team to heavily influence the design of the rocket. We leverage our deep expertise to translate engineering requirements into highly optimized production lines, working cross-functionally to enhance the vehicle program. About the Role: As a Principal Automation Control Systems engineer, you will be responsible for technical leadership and growing a team dedicated to building and expanding factory automation within the manufacturing organization. Your responsibilities include architecting automation solutions for the factory, ranging from quick-turn interim setups to large permanent infrastructure projects. You will collaborate with mechanical, manufacturing, and design engineers to develop tailored solutions for various applications and processes. Once hardware is built, you will own implementation, working closely with technicians, operators, and end users, including writing and debugging control software. Your projects will span various construction methods, sizes, and applications, including: Driving the technical direction of factory automation in manufacturing Architecting solutions to improve speed, quality, reliability, and efficiency Large-scale multi-axis custom CNC systems Robotic assembly and inspection equipment About You: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or a related field 25+ years of experience with CNC (Fanuc, Siemens), robotic (Fanuc, Kuka, ABB), or automated systems (Beckhoff, etc.) Experience designing, managing, and executing robotic and automation systems in a production or factory environment Proficiency in writing control software for industry-standard systems (CNC, PLCs, motor drives) Experience designing industrial safety systems, including risk assessments Ability to identify and mitigate technical risks in complex systems Nice to Haves: Experience producing electrical and pneumatic documentation Experience with Siemens CNCs/PLCs control software Experience with Kuka, Fanuc, ABB, or similar robotics control systems Knowledge of communication protocols such as Profinet, Ethernet, EtherCAT, and CANbus Additional Information: Relativity Space is committed to transparency and fairness in compensation. Actual salary will depend on experience and qualifications. Our total rewards include competitive salary and equity, generous PTO and sick leave, parental leave, an annual learning stipend, and more.
