Instrumentation & Controls Technician II

Job Posting: Instrumentation and Controls Technician II

At Relativity Space, we’re building rockets to serve today’s needs and tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Our Terran R vehicle will deliver customer payloads to orbit, meeting the growing demand for launch capacity. But that’s just the start. Achieving commercial success with Terran R will unlock new opportunities to advance science, exploration, and innovation, pioneering progress that reaches beyond the known.

Joining Relativity means becoming part of something where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. Here, you're not just executing tasks; you're solving problems that haven’t been solved before, helping develop a rocket, a factory, and a business from the ground up. Whether you’re in propulsion, manufacturing, software, avionics, or a corporate function, you’ll collaborate across teams, shape decisions, and see your work come to life in record time. Relativity is a place where creativity and technical rigor go hand in hand, and your voice will help define the stories we’re writing together. Now is a unique moment in time where it’s early enough to leave your mark on the product, the process, and the culture, but far enough along that Terran R is tangible and picking up momentum. The most meaningful work of your career is waiting. Join us.

About the Team:

The Launch team operates at the intersection of every major aspect of Terran R, from stages and payloads to ground systems, launch, landing, and refurbishment. The Cape is the only place where you see it all come together, offering a level of exposure and responsibility unmatched elsewhere in the program. This is where first flights happen, where history is built on top of history, and where the scale of what's underway is unlike anything in modern aerospace. The mission stays the same, but the work evolves with every milestone: from first launch to reuse, high-cadence operations, and beyond. If you're looking to define what's next in space launch and write a new playbook, not just repeat what’s already been done, this is where it happens.

About the Role:

As an Instrumentation and Controls Technician II, you will:

• Support the construction, installation, testing, and commissioning of instrumentation and control systems for a new launch facility.
• Perform troubleshooting, maintenance, and system upgrades to ensure reliable operation of facility instrumentation and electrical systems.
• Work collaboratively with engineers, technicians, and cross-functional teams to execute project tasks in accordance with technical specifications and safety standards.

About You:

• Exposure to instrumentation, data acquisition, and control systems, with the ability and willingness to learn and follow established procedures.
• Foundational hands-on experience with basic electronic circuits and common industrial sensors (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow).
• Ability to troubleshoot instrumentation and electrical equipment using fundamental electrical concepts and standard diagnostic tools.
• Familiarity with test and measurement equipment such as multimeters.
• Ability to read and interpret basic technical drawings, including schematics and P&IDs, with guidance as needed.
• Ability to safely operate hand and power tools.

Nice to haves but not required:

• Experience installing and configuring network-based equipment and integrating communication interfaces such as Ethernet, RS422, RS232, RS485, Modbus, or CANbus.
• Familiarity with harnessing techniques using MIL-STD type connectors.
• Familiarity with intrinsically safe instrumentation installation in hazardous areas.

Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
