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 People team is a core enabler of the business, with a true seat at the table and broad visibility across the company. From compensation and benefits to performance and onboarding, the team takes a comprehensive approach to supporting employees and leaders alike. We embed ourselves into departments, understanding needs and shaping the foundational strategies that will help individuals thrive as the company scales. Every challenge is an opportunity to solve for what really matters, with agility, empathy, and creativity.

You will directly support the Avionics team which 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: 

  • Identify Avionics Teams Learning Needs: Collaborate and partner directly with various internal subject matter experts to identify learning needs related to a variety of tasks and processes within the Avionics Team
  • Represent the Talent Development Team: Develop various learning content and programs for the Avionics Teams in line with the overarching learning experience and standards at Relativity Space; leverage existing learning content and programs where applicable
  • Own Avionics Learning Experience: Develop, facilitate, and manage in-person and virtual training sessions and learning experiences; including scheduling sessions, preparing materials, attendance tracking, and driving improvement through feedback from learner surveys
  • Leverage the Learning Management System: Ensure Avionics learning programs are captured, team members have resources for self-service, and attendance records are tracked for compliance purposes
  • Continuously Improve Avionics Learning Experience: Monitor, evaluate, and improve the effectiveness of training content, sessions, and learning experiences; report findings to necessary stakeholders and senior leadership; utilize this information for on-going improvements; developing systems that promote scalability and automation
  • Engage External Partners and Vendors: Leverage external expertise where needed for specialized resources, learning programs, or learning experiences that will support the growth, health, and overall success of the Avionics Team and Relativity Space

About You:  

  • 5+ years of experience developing and delivering technical training (aerospace maintenance or manufacturing preferred)
  • Demonstrated experience as collaborative but analytical, goal-oriented team player
  • Familiarity with training platforms and tools (LMS, Content authoring tools, etc.)

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
