About the Team
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’s structure intentionally combines 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.
About the Role
- Assembling electromechnical builds
- Build flight and development avionics hardware from the ground up — integrating PCBAs, connectors, cabling, thermal interfaces, fasteners, and enclosures into complete units
- Interpret engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, mechanical assembly models, and work instructions with minimal supervision
- Collaborate closely with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and quality to troubleshoot build issues, implement process improvements, and maintain flight-readiness standards
- Ability to perform minor PCBA rework in alignment with IPC-A-610, J-STD-0001
About You
- 5+ years of experience in electronics manufacturing, with hands-on expertise in both PCBA rework and electromechanical assembly
- Strong mechanical assembly skills, including torque tools, bonding, and integration of electronics into enclosures or chassis
- Comfortable reading and interpreting complex electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and assembly documentation
- Be able to manufacture components to a high workmanship standard, including some soldering and wire harnessing.
