Company info
- The Propulsion team at Relativity is focused on developing and delivering highly performant and manufacturable engines for Terran R.
- Engineers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of their parts, from initial design through production to qualification and flight.
- The team fosters a culture of bottoms-up decision-making, free from technical gatekeeping, where ownership and accountability are key at all levels.
- But designing engines with a quarter million pounds of thrust is just the beginning.
- As the flight configuration enters qualification, the team is now exploring modifications for future engines, including thrust upgrades, new cycles, and design for mass production.
- At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices.
- We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
- At Relativity Space, we're building rockets to serve today's needs and tomorrow's breakthroughs.
- Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level.
