Relativity Space Careers, Benefits, Review
We are building the future of aerospace. A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable launch vehicle, will reliably deliver payloads...
Mission driven and ownership / autonomy encouraged
Pros
- Incredible technology and industry leading 3D printing capabilities - Strong emphasis on autonomy and ownership - People here generally love what they do which creates a great environmentCons
- Rotating leadership and lack of regular cadence of company all-hands to address org changes - Growing pains typical of many startups - No 401K matching or bonus programsWe celebrate all the diversity and individuality that makes the human experience so beautiful. We strive to create a work environment where all people can flourish – regardless of age, gender, race, religion, or background. If you bring talent, motivation, and focus we will make sure you have a seat at the table as we invent the future together.
We offer a number of opportunities to find your community at Relativity with Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which foster safe and inclusive spaces to connect over shared experiences and interests.
LAUNCHING THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY IN SPACE
Our long-term goal is to create humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to fundamentally expand the possibilities of the human experience. The first step toward this vision starts here on Earth, by building the next great commercial launch company.
Commercial and government customers are looking to launch satellites quickly and inexpensively, without waiting for a ride share slot on a large rocket launch to become available. We saw this market gap and set out to design a product to meet our customers’ needs; that’s where Terran R comes in. Developed for reuse, Terran R will deliver high-volume performance and reliability, with lower costs and shorter time to market. A testament to our unique approach, we have pre-sold launch service agreements with government and commercial customers totaling more than $1.8 billion.
