Senior Electrical EngineerAt 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.As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the development, integration, and optimization of industrial automation systems for our cooperative multi-robot platform. You will help shape the electrical backbone of a tightly coordinated robotic system in which multiple robotic arms, mobile platforms, and manufacturing subsystems work together as a unified cell to enable flexible, high-throughput production. This role will focus on creating custom electrical hardware, unifying power and data architecture, improving reliability of electrical performance, and simplifying system integration and use. This is a chance to help define the electrical systems behind a highly collaborative robotic platform that pushes the boundaries of autonomy, coordination, and advanced manufacturing.About the Role:Work with a dedicated team of inventive engineers building a cohesive, next-generation robotics platform representing the future of autonomous manufacturingElectrical Architecture and Hardware Development: Design and implement robust electrical architectures for robotic arms, AMRs, and supporting manufacturing equipment, while developing custom electrical hardware enable reliable and scalable across complex robotic platforms.Power Distribution and Routing: Lead the design and routing of power across low-voltage and high-current systems, ensuring safe, reliable delivery to motors, sensors, tools, battery systems, and onboard compute systemsAMR Electrical Development: Support the early-stage design and buildout of a custom autonomous mobile robot, helping define and implement the electrical systems required for operation in industrial environmentsBattery Systems Integration: Support the design, integration, protection, charging, and monitoring of battery-powered subsystems, particularly for mobile robotic platforms operating in industrial environmentsMechatronic Development: Contribute to the development of mechatronic structures and subsystem packaging, including electrical mounting, routing, thermal considerations, and integration with mechanical hardwareIntegration and Testing: Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software engineers and system integrators to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems with centralized codebase and manufacturing infrastructure.
