Description For Flight Software Engineering Intern

Relativity Space is revolutionizing the aerospace industry with their ambitious goals of building the next great commercial launch company and becoming America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. As a Flight Software Engineering Intern, you'll be part of the team developing mission-critical software for the Terran R rocket.

The role involves working on software that autonomously controls all aspects of the rocket from launch pad to orbit. You'll be developing and testing flight software, collaborating with Avionics and GNC teams, and working with hardware in the Avionics lab. The software you create will be integral to the entire vehicle operation system.

This is an exceptional opportunity for students passionate about space technology and software development. You'll work on real projects like characterizing flight computer hardware, implementing control algorithms, and designing software stacks for custom avionics boards. The company values diverse perspectives and doesn't require prior aerospace experience.

Relativity Space offers a competitive compensation package including equity, generous PTO, parental leave, and learning opportunities. They're building more than just rockets – they're creating the foundation for humanity's industrial base on Mars. This internship is your chance to contribute to this extraordinary mission while working alongside passionate innovators who are pushing the boundaries of aerospace technology and additive manufacturing.
