G-Launch Operations
On-site

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 operations team is a part of the Cape Canaveral launch site and is primarily responsible for the operational aspects of vehicle integration, payload integration, pad operations, countdown operations, recovery, and reusability. Over the last few years, the launch operations team successfully lifted the Terran 1 vehicle off the ground and have transitioned focus to designing and building the infrastructure to support our next generation vehicle, Terran R. The team is working hand in hand across multiple engineering disciplines to build out critical systems such as the launch pad, transport erector, integration hardware, transport vessels, horizontal integration facilities, and much more to support the Terran R program.

About the Role:

  • Responsible for electrical utility construction activities for launch facilities and will be responsible for the development of construction drawings, request for proposals, competitive bids, bid evaluations, sub-contractor selections, and subcontractor management.
  • Design electrical systems and supply design requirements for other disciplines pertaining to hazardous areas
  • Lead and mentor a team of engineers and technicians
  • Responsible for creating and maintaining project schedules and budgets.
  • Develop processes that will be used by the team to optimize workflow and responsibilities

About You:

  • Bachelors in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Proficient experience with specific examples in the construction industry working with electrical systems with a mix of analysis/design, hands-on field experience, project management, and project execution
  • Proficient experience in the construction industry working with electrical systems with a mix of analysis/design, hands-on field experience, project management, and project execution
  • Demonstrated examples leading complex projects utilizing matrixed team organizations with multiple customers
