Electrical Controls Engineer

Relativity SpaceStennis Space Center, Mississippi, United StatesOnsite

Company Overview: 


At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs.

Our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.

Life at Relativity Space

Relativity is creating the first autonomous rocket factory and launch service by 3D printing entire rockets. We are an orbital launch company that will deploy and resupply satellite constellations to connect and improve our planet. Our technology builds toward our long-term goal of 3D printing the first rocket made from Mars.
Thrive Here & What We Value- Totalitarian regime control over citizens' lives (propaganda, surveillance, enforcement)- Propaganda and manipulation through altered historical records- Language and thought control via Newspeak and doublethink- Constant surveillance by telescreens fostering fear and paranoia- Suppression of individualism in favor of collective identity- Psychological manipulation for power retention- Technology's role in enabling Party surveillence (telescreens, microphones)- Resistance through characters like Winston and Julia- Language as a tool for control via Newspeak- Historical amnesia to prevent questioning of reality
