Staff Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT) Engineer

The Interplanetary Sciences Program was established to expand access to scientific exploration across our solar system. Its mission is to make planetary research faster, more affordable, and more capable than ever before by rethinking how science missions are designed, built, and operated. The program aims to enable scientists to send instruments to distant worlds without decades of development or prohibitive costs. By creating a sustainable model for interplanetary exploration, we are transforming space science from an occasional event into a continuous process of discovery that accelerates knowledge, broadens participation, and inspires the next generation of explorers.

Relativity Space’s Interplanetary Sciences Program is developing a privately funded science mission to Mars targeted for 2028. This mission will map shallow subsurface ice and geology, characterize Martian weather, enable next generation onboard processing and communication, and demonstrate a new philanthropic public-private partnership model for space science.

We’re hiring one Staff Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T) Engineer to own the integration and test campaigns for the Mars orbiter. You’ll define how the spacecraft and its payloads are assembled, verified, and prepared for launch, then lead that work hands-on with the engineering team. This is a full-time position based at Relativity Space HQ in Long Beach, California.
