As a Senior Avionics Hardware Engineer within the Interplanetary Program at Relativity Space, you will take ownership of the design, development, and delivery of spacecraft avionics systems from concept through flight.

You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to create reliable, high-performance avionics that enable deep-space exploration.

You will help define the foundation of Relativity’s future interplanetary avionics architecture while setting the technical standards for future team growth.

Develop complete avionics systems, including architecture, design, integration, and verification, from initial concept through flight-qualified hardware

Collaborate with propulsion, guidance and control, thermal and software teams to ensure seamless integration and performance of avionics systems

Implement robust design and test processes that ensure reliability and safety for deep-space missions

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
