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.

- Proven ability to build and maintain master schedules that integrate permitting, procurement, and construction timelines
- Skilled in generating stakeholder reports and dashboards, including variance analysis and performance summaries
- Experienced in managing multiple concurrent projects while maintaining accuracy, timeliness, and risk visibility
Nice to haves but not required:
- PMP, CCP, or PSP certification, or a Master’s degree in a related field (e.g., Construction or Engineering Management)
- Experience with infrastructure projects in aerospace, manufacturing, or cleanroom environments
- Familiarity with BI tools like Tableau or Power BI for real-time capital project reporting
