Description

At 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.

About the Team: 

The Construction Design & Delivery team is at the core of Relativity’s growth and development. Through our collaboration and expertise, we deliver projects that lay the foundation for Relativity’s future success. In essence, we build the factory that builds the rockets! We are responsible for cross functional relationships with teams such as Manufacturing, Propulsion, PBF, Avionics, Machine Shop, Facilities, EHS and Security to name a few, working through design specifications and execution of critical infrastructure projects that supports the mission of work centers. Our relationships don’t stop there, working daily with government agencies, utility suppliers, vendors and contractors who support our factory build out. Our team ensures that all projects meet operational requirements, safety and environmental codes, all the while remaining within budget, delivering on time, and to the highest quality as we help to drive production forward.

About the Role:

  • Lead end-to-end infrastructure project design at the Wormhole factory—from concept development through permit issuance and construction handoff
  • Translate operational requirements into buildable, code-compliant design packages across architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and civil disciplines
  • Serve as the central point of coordination for stakeholder engagement, consultant management, and cross-functional design integration
  • Drive development of work center layouts in collaboration with Manufacturing Engineers and CAD teams to meet equipment, utility, and compliance needs
  • Manage design-phase budgets, soft cost estimates, and change tracking in partnership with project controls and estimating teams
  • Provide construction administration support including submittal reviews, RFI responses, site walks, and punchlist validation to ensure design intent is maintained

About You:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture, or a related technical discipline
  • 5+ years of experience leading capital or infrastructure projects through design, permitting, and construction phases
  • Strong knowledge of building codes, fire/life safety, Title 24, and permitting requirements
  • Proven ability to manage consultant deliverables, coordinate interdisciplinary design reviews, and facilitate stakeholder alignment
  • Proficiency in reviewing construction documents, redlines, and QA/QC deliverables for scope clarity and constructability
  • Organized communicator skilled at producing clear meeting notes, action trackers, and handoff packages for execution teams

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • PE license or PMP certification
  • Experience working in regulated manufacturing environments or cleanroom infrastructure projects

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.

Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.
