Role

Who you are

  • Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • 6+ years of experience implementing code level patterns to enable codebases and teams to scale, with 1+ years of experience leading data architectures at scale
  • 4+ years of experience leveraging an array of data technologies including one or many of the following: InfluxDB, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Kafka, Spark, and more
  • 4+ years of experience with at least one of C++, Go, Python, C#, Typescript
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies

What the job involves

  • The Integrated Software team is responsible for developing a wide array of software across the entire company. This includes controlling the rocket from launch pad to orbit, providing real-time control systems for engine testing, structures testing, and launch facilities, and lastly (but certainly not least) creating our factory of the future with our proprietary 3D printing technology
  • This team is at the forefront of driving Relativity Space towards our mission of a multiplanetary future, from changing how we manufacture rockets to how we fly them
  • Design, develop and lead creation of core data components of our factory and launch software platform including,
  • Data technology abstraction and API development
  • Analytics and Reporting architectures
  • Data modeling, management, and development
  • Cloud and On-prem Application / Services / API development
  • In this role, you will be responsible for driving development of a distributed data platform spanning launch to factory components. You’ll be designing and creating technologies enabling data ingress/egress for the launch vehicle as well as core factory tools such as our Stargate printers
  • You’ll be making key tradeoff decisions, mentoring junior engineers, building new systems/tooling, and recommending / drive high impact across existing systems

Our take

Relativity Space has set out to build humanity’s multiplanetary future with its innovative 3D printed rockets. The company is at the forefront of software-defined manufacturing, combining 3D printing, AI, and autonomous robotics to create the “factory of the future.” By utilizing 3D printing, Relativity has simplified its supply chain, building rockets in less than 60 days that require 100x fewer parts.

The company has completed its flagship Terran 1 rocket and has begun its initial round of test flights. While the first launches technically failed, as the rocket failed to reach orbit, the attempt is still classified as a resounding success as the rocket managed the highest stress state inflicted on the rocket, Max-Q. The company is set to test the Terran 1 rocket again, before moving on to its Terran R rocket. While the company faces competition against SpaceX, Relativity Space’s cheaper and accelerated building process is well set to be a fierce competitor.
