Relativity Space · Long Beach, United States · 13h ago
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 Terrestrial Software team is building the foundation for an automated rocket factory and integrated launch platform. Their mission is to automate and streamline workflows across the entire lifecycle of Terran R, from raw material intake to launch operations and eventually manufacturing on Mars. Today, that means partnering directly with teams across design, materials, manufacturing, and test and launch to design, implement, and deploy enduser enterprise-wide applications, industrial automation, data analytics infrastructure, and next-generation AI to solve real problems and accelerate progress. Long term, the team is laying the groundwork for a modular, scalable software platform that can power highly autonomous operations on Earth and beyond. This is a team for builders and thinkers who thrive on cross-functional impact and want to shape the digital backbone of our future in space.
About the Role:
You will be responsible for designing, building, and continuously evolving scalable process infrastructure across the factory and supply chain ecosystem. You will take end-to-end ownership of core enterprise workflows—including MRP, procure-to-pay, material conveyance, factory automation, and change management—treating each as a product with a lifecycle that demands constant improvement, stakeholder alignment, and technical rigor. This role blends systems engineering, process design, and software integration, requiring both a deep understanding of manufacturing and supply chain operations and the ability to design technical solutions that are robust, intuitive, and performance-driven.
- Architect and own end-to-end enterprise workflows across planning and execution, MRP, procure-to-pay, material movement, and change control—ensuring alignment with business needs and scalable technical solutions
- Develop and maintain technical infrastructure that supports process-as-a-product workflows, with a focus on data integrity, reliability, automation, and integration with enterprise systems. Continuously monitor and optimize performance across key workflows—leveraging real-time data to drive improvements in scheduling accuracy, fulfillment velocity, inventory health, and process compliance
- Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, supply chain, software engineering, finance, and operations teams to define requirements, implement process changes, and deliver high-impact systems that drive efficiency and agility. Partner with product managers, analysts, and business stakeholders to translate complex operational needs into scalable, elegant solutions that create measurable value across the organization
- Lead factory and supply chain automation initiatives by identifying opportunities for digital transformation, designing integrated workflows, and ensuring seamless orchestration between physical and digital systems and establish and enforce rigorous standards for change management and data governance across the enterprise, ensuring consistency, traceability, and operational reliability. Deliver and maintain high-quality documentation of technical architecture, process flows, and interface contracts to support transparency, scalability, and team alignment
- A talent for distilling complex technical concepts into clear, concise explanations for non-experts.
About You:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Supply Chain/Operations Management, or a related discipline
- 3+ years of working in a supply chain engineering, product engineering, software engineering or product management role with a focus on MRP or ERP systems within an advanced manufacturing environment
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, SQL, Javascript, Java, C#
- Advanced knowledge of supply chain and/or manufacturing processes
- Strong working knowledge of at least one of the following enterprise processes/workflows:
- Enterprise Planning / Material Requirements Planning for advanced manufacturing
- Procure to Pay
- Material Conveyance / Material Flow Automation
- Change Management / Config Management
- Manufacturing Execution / Factory Automation
- Data Integrity / Data Governance
Nice to haves but not required:
- Strong understanding of a variety of codebased technical infrastructure and information systems / database architecture
- Experience with cloud platforms and distributed systems
- Familiarity with modern software development practices and tools, including version control, continuous integration, and automated testing
