## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- Degree in computer, electrical, aerospace, or a related engineering field, or equivalent hands-on experience
- 7+ years of experience in test engineering, including architecting automated test frameworks for integrated hardware, firmware, and software systems
- Strong, current software skills for test automation, tooling, and validation pipelines
- A track record of building test automation and CI/regression infrastructure from the ground up, including telemetry/logging, automated pass/fail, and continuous test execution
- Hands-on hardware and embedded systems experience, including bench troubleshooting with standard electronics equipment and familiarity with interfaces such as Ethernet, UART, and SPI
- Demonstrated ability to own a complex test capability end to end, drive integrated hardware/software failures to root cause, and coordinate effectively across engineering teams
