Summary

About the Team: The Vehicle Systems Engineering and Integrated Test team at Relativity is a cross-functional group tasked with ownership of Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Terran R rocket and the integration of various subsystems into those stages, while also ensuring that the processes themselves are as efficient as possible. This team is the engineering focal point throughout the vehicle's lifecycle, considering and managing the upstream and downstream impacts of various changes, driving vehicle architecture trades, tackling tough integration problems, defining Concepts of Operations, coordinating and executing vehicle level tests/launch, and striving to strike the balance between performance, launch/build rate, and reliability. Beyond vehicle development itself, they strive to amplify the ability of responsible engineers to design the best possible product. Just as they are the focal point for the broader engineering changes of the vehicle, they also strive to ensure strong collaboration of teams, that the truth is centralized, work is visible, and that tools and process are streamlined. About the Role: * Balance the technical, cost, and schedule constraints; weighing options, investigating scenarios, and proposing solutions * Interact, coordinate, and influence all aspects of the vehicle design.
