## Job description

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 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 II, 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.

- Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, structural engineering, or related technical discipline
- Minimum 3 years of experience working in the aerospace or construction industry with a mix of hands-on field experience and project management experience.
- Experience with design documentation, construction drawings, construction bid solicitation, contractor selection, construction management, field supervision, permitting, QA/QC, and Safety.
- Experience with project scoping, budgeting, and scheduling from both a day-to-day perspective as well as overall construction management
- Experience with Architectural, Structural, Civil, and MEPF design, construction, and operation

Nice to haves but not required:

- Understanding of standard construction procedures, best practices, means & methods.
- Experience working within 3D models using NX, AutoCAD, or similar CAD programs, with the capability to design, comprehend, and interpret precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and modeling applications.
- Experience with development, permitting, land use controls, conditional use permits, and working with local government agencies.
- Demonstrated customer service excellence and ability to communicate highly effectively in verbal/written form with internal and external customers
- Must have strong interpersonal skills and ability to work in a team environment
- Experience with direct responsibility driving projects forward while managing and reporting progress to remote management.
- High organizational skills in managing multiple projects simultaneously
- Ability to perform and manage technically complex projects using independent judgment and personal initiative
- Recognize and act on opportunities; maintain flexibility to adjust as requirements and priorities shift or constraints change and anticipate them when possible.
- Ability to work in dynamic environments to execute real-time tasks in tight operation windows
- Experience working in the aerospace or construction industry with a mix of hands-on field experience and project management experience.
- Licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.)
- Advanced degree or training in engineering, construction, operations, or project management
- Experience with facilities and systems within the aerospace industry
- Experience designing, building, or operating test or launch GSE within the aerospace industry
- Experience with FEM structural analysis
- Familiar with aerospace planning, procedures and operations, and safety (including LOTO)
- Experience working with state and federal government agencies
