Staff Avionics Systems Integration & Test Engineer

Relativity Space is seeking a Staff Avionics Systems Integration & Test Engineer to join their innovative rocket development team. This role sits within the Avionics team, which is responsible for the complete lifecycle of Terran R's nervous system - from design and manufacturing to testing and operation of all major electrical systems on the vehicle and ground.

The position offers a unique opportunity to shape fundamental avionics architecture for Terran R, with high ownership over components that will actually fly. You'll be working at the intersection of hardware and software, leading complex integration and test programs that ensure the reliability and performance of mission-critical systems.

As a technical leader, you'll drive verification planning, develop testing frameworks, and oversee validation efforts using hardware-in-the-loop platforms. The role requires deep expertise in aerospace testing standards and equipment, combined with software development capabilities. You'll collaborate across multiple teams including propulsion, GNC, fluids, and stage engineering to ensure seamless integration.

The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of relevant experience and a strong educational background in engineering. You'll need demonstrated success leading system-level verification of complex electrical systems and familiarity with environmental testing. While the core requirements focus on technical expertise, the role also demands leadership skills to guide teams and shape technical strategy.

Relativity Space offers competitive compensation ($189,000-$241,000), equity, generous PTO, parental leave, and professional development benefits. The position is based in Long Beach, California, where you'll be part of a team pushing the boundaries of rocket development and manufacturing. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of space technology while working with cutting-edge systems and processes.
