Sr Avionics Integration Engineer
About The Position
The Avionics team is responsible for the full lifecycle of Terran R’s nervous system, designing, building, testing, installing, and operating the hardware that connects and controls every major electrical system on the vehicle and ground. The team leverages close partnership between avionics design, manufacturing, and test to enable rapid iteration and feedback loops. Engineers are deeply embedded into other functions within Relativity, working closely with propulsion, GNC, fluids, and stage engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and operation. Now is a unique time to join: you’ll get to help shape Terran R's fundamental avionics architecture and be given a high degree of ownership on components that will fly.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in a full lifecycle design engineering role
- Experience with electrical harness design and mechanical routing in 3D CAD software
- Experience with the integration and test of complex, multi-disciplinary electrical systems
Nice To Haves
