Responsibilities
Develop detailed process plans, work instructions, and work orders for the manufacturing of avionics hardware and wire harnesses
Conduct Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRRs) to ensure production readiness and risk mitigation before major builds
Collaborate with design engineers to provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback and improve product designs for ease of fabrication and assembly
Support build technicians during manufacturing by troubleshooting issues, resolving non-conformances, and implementing corrective actions
Work with supply chain and quality teams to ensure the procurement and inspection of high-quality avionics components
Analyze process performance and yield data to drive continuous improvement initiatives. Develop and maintain capacity and demand plan models
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.
