PCB Design Engineer II

Long Beach , United States

AI overview

Support the development of the Terran R avionics architecture, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and operation while owning critical PCB design tasks.

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 Avionics team 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 leverages close partnership between 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:

As an Avionics PCB Engineer you will support in-house printed circuit board design and development, supporting Avionics engineers in critical tasks like PCB layout, component review, Altium eCAD management, and overall PCBA lifecycle development. 

About You:

  • 2+ years of hands-on PCB Design experience in Altium or similar eCAD software
  • Experience with PCB design for high-speed digital components or high voltage power electronics applications
  • Experience designing for manufacturability and overall understanding of PCBA lifecycle
  • Experience designing PCBAs for harsh environments such as extreme thermal conditions or random vibration

Nice to haves but not required:  

  • Experience with PCB fabrication and assembly vendor management
  • Demonstrated experience defining design rules, leading eCAD library management, and review process 
  • Experience supporting anomaly investigations for PCBA failures seen in manufacturing or test
  • Experience with PLM software such as Teamcenter
