Senior Power Electronics Engineer - job 1 of 2

Relativity Space is building the Terran R launch vehicle and the factory to produce it. The Avionics team designs, manufactures, and operates flight-grade electronics that form the vehicle's nervous system. We are looking for a Senior Power Electronics / Electrical Hardware Engineer to own board-level power designs through concept, bring-up, verification, qualification, production, and vehicle operations while working closely with propulsion, GNC, mechanical, thermal, and software teams.

Skills

  • Deep experience with board-level electronics design and PCB toolchains (Altium or equivalent).
  • Proven track record of hardware bring-up, validation, debugging, and data-driven analysis.
  • Experience designing electronics for harsh/mission-critical environments (space, aviation, robotics, launch).
  • Knowledge of power electronics: DC-DC conversion, load switches, motor drives, and high-voltage considerations.
  • Ability to work within cross-functional teams and drive system-level tradeoffs.
  • Familiarity with manufacturing processes, vendor interactions, and design for reliability/manufacturability.
  • Comfort with writing and reviewing technical documentation, test plans, and verification matrices.

Responsibilities

  • Design and architect power electronics and board-level avionics for flight hardware (DC-DC, load switching, motor drives, HV as applicable).
  • Lead hardware development through concept, schematic/PCB design, prototyping, bring-up, validation, and qualification to flight production.
  • Perform board bring-up, debug, test plan creation/execution, data analysis, and design verification.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, electrical, software, propulsion, and GNC teams to integrate electronics into the vehicle.
  • Drive manufacturability and reliability efforts with suppliers and manufacturing partners; support design for manufacturability (DFM) and test.
  • Create and maintain engineering documentation, test reports, and certification artifacts required for flight hardware.
  • Support vehicle integration, pre-flight checkouts, and operations; troubleshoot hardware in lab and vehicle environments.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team processes, schedules, and hardware project management.

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field required.
  • Master's degree in a related field preferred but not required.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Generous PTO and sick leave
  • Parental leave
  • Annual learning and development stipend
  • Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision)
  • Support for reasonable accommodations (accommodations@relativityspace.com)
