Senior Power Systems Engineer

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 team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens.

About the Role:

• Lead the design, build, and operation of electrical subsystems at the Terran R launch site at Cape Canaveral SFS


• Collaborate with infrastructure, ground, vehicle, and recovery vessel teams to appropriately size power systems and configure power distribution architectures


• Own the operation, monitoring, and troubleshooting of power systems in preparation for and during Terran R flight campaigns


• Develop operating guides, procedures, and training materials to ensure the safe, reliable operation of electrical power systems at the Terran R launch site at Cape Canaveral SFS


• Support the design, deployment, and sustainment of additional land-based electrical infrastructure used for Terran R launch and recovery operations

About You:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field, with a minimum of 7+ years of relevant professional experience


• Strong command of engineering first principles and the ability to apply them to complex, real-world systems


• Experience designing, operating, and maintaining aerospace, marine, or industrial electrical systems, including high-power generation, distribution, and redundancy


• Self-motivated and independent, with a demonstrated ability to identify, prioritize, and solve challenging technical problems while maintaining composure under pressure


• Clear and effective communicator, able to collaborate with and convey technical concepts to stakeholders across diverse teams and backgrounds

Nice to haves but not required:

• Familiarity with the orbital launch industry and hands-on experience with aviation or rocket ground power systems


• Experience with crane, elevator, or other heavy equipment control and power systems


• Background working with NFPA, Military, and/or NASA regulations, standards, and personnel


• Experience designing high-power electrical systems for offshore or other harsh operating environments

Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
