Company Overview:  

Relativity is the first and only company to automate aerospace manufacturing by integrating intelligent robotics, software, and proprietary metal 3D printing technology. Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. Our long-term goal is to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.  

Team:

The Development Test team is responsible for all hazardous testing in our Long Beach facilities. We use our breadth of experience and collaborative engineering approach to support everything from very large structural tests to precise valve actuation. To that end, we design, build, and operate all test assets from initial concept to test execution. If you enjoy working on a multi-disciplinary team with a broad mandate and want to put hands on hardware, then this is the team for you.

What you’ll do:

As a Data and Control Systems Hardware Engineer, you will be responsible for the full product life cycle of our modular data and control system hardware. The projects you work on will run test systems across the factory ranging from quick and scrappy development kits to permanent infrastructure. You will be required to be hands on, working side-by-side with our technician team to build, debug, and deploy your projects.

Your projects will span a variety of construction methods, sizes, and applications. Some of these are expected to be manually assembled junction boxes while others may utilize printed circuit boards. The kinds of hardware you will develop may include:

  • Temperature / Strain / Pressure Measurement Modules
  • Valve / Motor Control Modules
  • Embedded Controller Modules
  • Commercial data acquisition specifications
  • DC Power Distribution Systems
  • Wiring Harnesses

What you need to know:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience designing, building, and testing circuits.
  • Strong electrical engineering fundamental knowledge
  • Familiar with using technology such as, but not limited to, ADCs, DACs, Microcontrollers, DC-DC Power Supplies.
  • Comfortable using schematic capture and PCB design tools such as Altium.
  • Experience designing electrical control cabinets and wiring harnesses.
  • Ability to use signal generators, oscilloscopes, and other test equipment to test and verify hardware designs.
  • Demonstrated ownership, accountability, and success in delivering complex products with minimal guidance.

Nice to have but not required:

  • Experience with sensors and actuators such as pressure transducers, RTDs, strain gages, thermocouples, solenoid valves, accelerometers, microphones, etc.
  • Circuit simulation experience (SPICE, PSPICE, LTSPICE, etc).
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB for preforming analysis or writing automation tools.
  • Experience with embedded or systems programming in languages such as C, C++, or Rust.
  • Previous experience with COTS data acquisition systems such as NI, Dewesoft, Beckhoff etc.
  • Familiarity with communications methods such as, but not limited to, SPI, Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN, and Modbus.

*No previous aerospace experience is required for this position.

*This position requires onsite presence at least 2 days per week, but Hybrid work is accepted

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
