Team

The Vehicle Systems and Integrated Test team at Relativity Space is a small, dynamic group within the Vehicle Engineering organization, specializing in cross-functional vehicle development, designing for operability, defining Concepts of Operations, and determining vehicle verification activities. Our team is responsible for the integration of stages and vehicles, acting as the engineering focal point throughout the vehicle's lifecycle. We consistently manage both upstream and downstream impacts, excelling at solving complex, first-time challenges. We tackle tough integrated problems, coordinate planning, set the engineering definition for operations, and strike the right balance between performance, launch/build rate, and reliability. This involves determining requirements, verification events, tools, guidance, and processes, all with operability at the forefront. On this team, you'll collaborate with every function across the company to help design, build, test, fly, recover, and reuse Terran R.
