At Relativity Space, we have two audacious goals: to build the next great commercial launch company with Terran R and to become America's leading force in additive manufacturing innovation. Both contribute to our long-term vision of creating humanity’s industrial base on Mars, paving the way for interplanetary life to expand the possibilities of the human experience. This journey begins right here on Earth – where we design, build, and fly rockets to deliver customer payloads to orbit. Terran R, our medium-to-heavy lift reusable rocket, fulfills the growing demand for launch capacity, thanks to our iterative approach that accelerates design, testing, and development while minimizing costs. While our groundbreaking research and development in 3D printing pushes the boundaries of large-scale additive manufacturing.
Your journey with us is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to shape the future of aerospace technology, additive manufacturing, and the human experience alongside a community of passionate, creative individuals. Join us on this extraordinary journey, as we work together to transform our vision into reality.
About the Team:
The Robotics Software Engineering Team is building out a novel type of cooperative robotic platform that utilizes our large-scale additive manufacturing systems. This platform will pave the way for the continuous invention of new capabilities. We prioritize performance, simplicity, simulation/testing, and reusability, building cohesive interfaces with every piece of equipment we use. Our team provides a system with which custom robots and additive systems can be built and integrated seamlessly.
About the Role:
As a Staff Platform Engineer (Core) you will be responsible for the development of a flexible and safe robotics operating platform, focusing on the low-level execution environment, messaging and communications, integration with robots and equipment, and providing interfaces to further develop applications and integrations that leverage the core platform.
About You:
You have experience in writing Linux software at all levels, real-time operating systems, industrial robotics, planning and decision making for autonomous systems, simulation and visualizations, and are comfortable creating tools and algorithms to process positional, sensor and motion data to ensure the robotic print cell is able to achieve highly repeatable and accurate motion throughout a print profile while responding to dynamic input.
- Education: BS or MS in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Experience incorporating various sensors (e.g., lidar, cameras, IMUs) into systems, optimizing for accuracy and reliability
- 5+ years experience developing large-scale projects in C/C++ and/or Rust for long lifecycle products
- Demonstrated ability to configure build system to generate builds for multiple target hardware platforms and testing harnesses
- Knowledge of kinematics, dynamics, and control algorithms for precise robot motion planning and execution
- Experience with EtherCAT and other industrial protocols: Familiarity with industrial communication standards and their application in high-performance robotic systems
Nice to haves but not required:
- Demonstrated ability in data visualization and GUI development for complex robotic systems
- Experience working with ROS
- Experience with TwinSAFE in non-TwinCAT environments
- Knowledge of network administration
