Disrupting 60 years of aerospace, Relativity offers a radically simplified supply chain, building a rocket with 100x fewer parts in less than 60 days. Our long-termgoalis to upgrade humanity’s industrial base on Earth and on Mars.</p> <p> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">Team:</span> </strong> <span data-ccp-props='{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}'></span> </p> <p>The Avionics Instrumentation team is responsible for identifying and implementingvehicle sensorrequirements across Terran 1 and Terran R launch vehicles. As an Instrumentation Engineer, you will work collaboratively with vehicle teams such asPropulsion, Fluids, Thermal, and Dynamicsto develop instrumentation requirements to provide them the high-quality data required to successfully launch a 3D-printed rocket to orbit. This will involve working closely with the Avionics Hardware and Avionics Integration teams to ensure avionics capability to support sensor and actuator needs; and with the Integration team to ensure sensors and actuators are correctly installed, calibrated and functional-checked on the launch vehicle.</p> <p> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">What you’ll do:</span> </strong> <span data-ccp-props='{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}'></span> </p> <ul> <li>Work with Propulsion, Fluids, Structures, Flight Sciences, and other teams to identify and develop vehicle instrumentation requirements</li> <li>Identify sensors and actuators such as pressure transducers; RTDs; thermocouples; accelerometers; solenoid valves; etc. that are suitable for use on the Terran 1 and Terran R launch vehicles</li> <li>Collaborate with Avionics Hardware engineers to ensure designed system meets instrumentation requirements such as ranges, resolutions, sample rates, and cutoff frequencies</li> <li>Maintain electrical interface and sensor/actuator configuration control: naming and channelization, serial numbers, calibrations, and data acquisition settings</li> <li>Develop and execute on-vehicle sensor calibration and checkout plans</li> <li>Oversee procurement, qualification, and acceptance testing of vehicle instrumentation</li> <li>Up to 25% travel to our test and launch sites in Stennis Space Center, MS and Cape Canaveral, FL</li> </ul> <p> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">What you need to know:</span> </strong> <span data-contrast="none"></span> <span data-ccp-props='{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}'></span> </p> <ul> <li>Bachelor's degree or higher with a focus in an engineering discipline: aerospace, electrical, mechanical, etc.</li> <li>3+ years of experience with development and integration of instrumentation and data acquisition systems for complex, mission-critical products (flight test, rocket launch systems, automotive, large-scale manufacturing, robotics, etc.)</li> <li>Experience with sensors and actuators such as pressure transducers, RTDs, accelerometers, strain gages, frequency-to-DC sensors, microphones, thermocouples, solenoid valves, etc.</li> <li>Excellent understanding of instrumentation and data acquisition fundamentals: measurement theory, Nyquist sampling theorem, DC circuit basics, grounding and shielding, analog-to-digital conversion</li> <li>Demonstrated ownership, accountability, and success in delivering complex products with minimal guidance</li> <li>Strong interpersonal communication skills</li> </ul> <p> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">Nice to haves but not required:</span> </strong> <span data-ccp-props='{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335559740":240}'></span> </p> <ul> <li>Experience writing test plans and documentation</li> <li>Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB for data acquisition, recording, and analysis</li> <li>Experience with instrumentation in harsh environments (cryogenic temperatures, high vibration)</li> <li>Previous experience with COTS data acquisition systems such as NI, Curtiss-Wright, Safran, or Beckhoff</li> <li>Understanding of digital buses such as Ethernet, CAN, I2C, SPI</li> </ul> <p> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous vacation policy,</span> </strong> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">an annual</span> </strong> <strong> <span data-contrast="none">LD stipend and more!</span> </strong> </p> <p> <strong>We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
