Software Engineer I - Factory Platform

Relativity Space is revolutionizing the aerospace industry with their ambitious goals of building the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and becoming America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. As a Software Engineer I on the Factory Platform team, you'll be part of an 8-person team within the 40-person Terrestrial Software organization, working on critical systems that power their manufacturing operations.

The role involves building sophisticated enterprise software systems from the ground up, including manufacturing execution systems (MES), production planning engines, and workflow orchestration tools. You'll be tackling complex challenges in automating manufacturing processes that span weeks, requiring robust failure handling and intelligent scheduling algorithms.

Working closely with manufacturing engineers, test engineers, and operations staff, you'll develop solutions that coordinate hundreds of interdependent manufacturing steps. The technical stack includes modern technologies like Python, Go, React, TypeScript, and Kubernetes, allowing you to build both powerful backend systems and user-friendly frontend applications.

This position offers significant mentorship opportunities from senior engineers and the chance to work on meaningful problems at the intersection of software and aerospace manufacturing. The compensation package is competitive, ranging from $124,000 to $158,000, plus equity and comprehensive benefits including parental leave and learning stipends.

Joining Relativity Space means being part of a mission to transform the future of aerospace technology and additive manufacturing. You'll work alongside passionate individuals who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in rocket manufacturing, while contributing to the company's ultimate vision of establishing humanity's industrial base on Mars.

The role requires strong technical fundamentals in both frontend and backend development, with at least 1 year of production software experience or equivalent internship background. You'll need to understand database concepts and API design, while experience with workflow systems or manufacturing software is a plus.
