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

At Relativity Space, we're entering an exciting new chapter under the leadership of Eric Schmidt, focusing on pioneering advancements in aerospace technology. Guided by a vision to redefine space exploration, our team is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible. As we chart the course for humanity’s industrial future on Mars, we’re also building a next-generation space company right here on Earth.

The Factory Platform team lies at the heart of this transformation. We build the software that powers our manufacturing, test, and launch operations enabling real-time orchestration of every process that brings a rocket from design to launch. Our team develops integrated, intelligent systems that support high-volume production through data-driven workflows, seamless automation, and rapid iteration.

Join us as we embark on groundbreaking projects in 3D printing and AI-driven manufacturing, spearheaded by our new CEO, Eric Schmidt. These innovations are not just technological achievements they are foundational to how we build, scale, and operate faster and smarter than ever before.

If you’re passionate about building software that has a direct impact on the future of aerospace and manufacturing, this is the team where you can truly shape what’s next.

About The Role

You'll build our entire in-house ERP stack from scratch - manufacturing execution systems (MES), production planning engines, and durable workflow orchestration that runs our factory autonomously. The core challenge is automating complex manufacturing processes that span weeks while handling failures gracefully.

Day-to-day: Design workflow engines that coordinate hundreds of interdependent manufacturing steps. Build state machines that handle multi-week production cycles with automatic retry logic, human escalation, and rollback capabilities. Write planning algorithms that optimize schedules around material constraints, equipment availability, and test windows. Create fully-featured web applications used by technicians, engineers, and operators across the factory - everything from work order management to real-time process monitoring and intervention tools.

The challenge: Building enterprise software that doesn't suck. Durable workflow execution across weeks-long manufacturing cycles, automated decision-making with human oversight, and state management for hundreds of concurrent processes. Plus planning algorithms that optimize around physical constraints and real-time factory conditions.

Stack

• Backend: Python, Go, Postgres • Frontend: React, TypeScript • Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Terraform, DBT, Spark • Data: Iceberg, DuckDB, Redshift

About You

• 1+ years building production software or strong internship experience • Solid React and modern frontend fundamentals • Experience with backend development (Python, Go, or similar) • Understanding of database concepts and API design • CS/Engineering degree or equivalent experience

Nice To Haves But Not Required

• Any exposure to workflow systems, manufacturing software, or distributed systems concepts
