Instrumentation and Controls Engineer I
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 right here 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. While 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.
About the Team:
The Stennis team at Relativity Space is responsible for designing, building, and operating world-class test stands to support the Terran R stages, engines, and propulsion components. As part of this team, you will help build and operate massive outdoor test stands at the historic Stennis Space Center on the Gulf Coast, the largest rocket engine test complex in the country. Unique to this location, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on the fully integrated engine and stage assemblies, push the hardware to the limits, and witness rocket engines firing up close and personal! This team was critical to the launch success of Terran 1, among many other firsts!
About the Role:
- Design, integrate, and test acquisition hardware, instrumentation, and cameras used to support and control our Terran R rocket test stands including but not limited to Beckhoff PLCs or similar, pressure, temperatures, flow, level, accelerometers, solenoid valves, VFDs, heaters, and IP, SDI, and CoaXPress cameras
- Design and maintain electrical systems for use in hazardous areas
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams of engineers and technicians to support and execute projects
About You:
- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other related engineering discipline
- Demonstrated electrical engineering fundamental knowledge
- Demonstrated capability in completing a complex project, coordinating with others and meeting deadlines
Nice to haves but not required:
- Familiar with data and control systems (SCADA, PLC’s, NI, Beckhoff, etc.)
- Familiar with integrating sensors and actuators such as pressure transducers, RTDs, strain gages, thermocouples, solenoid valves, accelerometers, microphones, etc.
- Familiar with communications methods such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN, and Modbus.
- Experience using AutoCAD Electrical
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 Stennis, Mississippi.
