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 the 8-person team within the 40-person Terrestrial Software organization, building critical systems that power their manufacturing operations.

The role involves developing sophisticated workflow engines and state machines that manage complex manufacturing processes spanning weeks. You'll be working on their in-house ERP stack, including manufacturing execution systems (MES), production planning engines, and workflow orchestration. The position requires close collaboration with manufacturing engineers, test engineers, and operations staff, with significant mentorship opportunities from senior engineers.

The technical challenge involves building enterprise-grade software that coordinates hundreds of interdependent manufacturing steps, handles multi-week production cycles with automatic retry logic, and implements planning algorithms that optimize around physical constraints. You'll work with a modern tech stack including Python, Go, React, TypeScript, and Kubernetes, building applications that directly impact the company's manufacturing capabilities.

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone passionate about both software engineering and aerospace technology. You'll be contributing to Relativity's vision of creating humanity's industrial base on Mars while working on cutting-edge manufacturing software. The role offers competitive compensation ($124,000-$158,000), equity, generous benefits, and the chance to work with a team of passionate individuals pushing the boundaries of aerospace manufacturing.
