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 Project 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:

  • Drive the end-to-end design of workplace environments—from early space planning and test fits to move-in readiness and post-occupancy refinement
  • Translate headcount forecasts and user needs into functional, ergonomic layouts for offices, labs, and amenity spaces
  • Lead FF&E and finish selection, maintaining company-wide standards that align with branding, budget, and performance goals
  • Collaborate with CAD, MEP, Facilities, Security, and Branding teams to integrate layouts into architectural and technical design packages
  • Develop and maintain scalable workplace design standards that ensure quality, maintainability, and construction feasibility across all projects
  • Develop, support, and manage workplace amenities and programs to enhance employee experience, wellness, and productivity

About You:

  • You’re a detail-oriented designer with 5+ years of experience translating workplace needs into functional, scalable interior layouts
  • You excel at balancing aesthetics, ergonomics, and technical feasibility in office and lab environments
  • You’re fluent in programming tools, FF&E coordination, and CAD workflows—and love bridging early concept with construction reality
  • You thrive in cross-functional settings and communicate clearly with engineers, facilities, vendors, and project teams
  • You’re proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple fit-out projects without losing track of details or deadlines
  • You’re motivated by high standards and enjoy contributing to company-wide templates, standards, and continuous improvement initiatives

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Experience with Revit, Enscape, or SketchUp for design visualization and quick-turn layout development
  • Familiarity with managing multi-site workplace standards or corporate design guidelines at scale
  • Certification such as NCIDQ, WELL AP, or LEED GA/AP, showing commitment to best practices in sustainable and ergonomic design

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
