A Systems Robotics Engineer at Horizon Manufacturing Technology contributes to the development, integration, and optimization of automation systems for our robotics manufacturing platform.

The main focus is on designing and implementing robotic control systems, functional safety, and developing real-time systems to enhance operational efficiency and precision.

Horizon’s team is highly cross-functional, so a successful Systems Robotics Engineer owns projects while working with stakeholders in a dynamic R&D environment.

Coordinate and lead development projects for new devices, such as sensors, end effectors, and motion systems.

Identify requirements, design solutions, develop and integrate with the existing robot cells to serve the needs of the manufacturing processes

Commissioning EtherCAT networks and safety systems using TwinCAT and TwinSAFE

Relativity Space pioneered large-scale additive manufacturing with our Terran 1 rocket, the largest 3D-printed object to fly. Now a distinct business unit within Relativity, Horizon Manufacturing Technologies is advancing next-generation manufacturing for aerospace and beyond. The team operates at the frontier of manufacturing innovation, where creativity meets capability. This is an environment where cutting-edge R&D is put into production, industrializing advanced manufacturing capabilities to solve customer problems. As member of the Horizon’s Robotics Team, you’ll work alongside welders, data scientists, and material scientists, creating an end-to-end additive manufacturing platform that serves a wide variety of applications. From exploring new materials to unlocking faster print speeds, to designing complex, organic geometries that can’t be built any other way, it’s high-impact work that sets the foundation for the future of advanced manufacturing.
