Role: semantic matchUnspecified Engineering From the posting source - Staff Plus From the posting source $164K-$226K From the posting source EquityStaff Propulsion Engineer, Integrated Design Long Beach, California 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 Propulsion team at Relativity is focused on developing and delivering highly performant and manufacturable engines for Terran R. Engineers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of their parts, from initial design through production to qualification and flight. The team

Description: "operations"Unspecified Engineering From the posting source - Mid From the posting source CAD 75K-110K From the posting source EquityAI Engineer Ottawa, Canada At Spaceium, we are building spacecraft systems designed to push the boundaries of what's possible in orbit. As an AI Engineer, you will develop intelligent systems that enable autonomous decision-making, anomaly detection, and adaptive operations for our spacecraft. You will work at the intersection of machine learning and space systems, building AI capabilities that operate reliably in resource-constrained, high-stakes environments. Responsibilities - Design and develop AI/ML models for spacecraft autonomy, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance - Build data pipelines for training, evaluation, and deployment of models - Develop reinforcement learning or planning algorithms for autonomous on-orbit operations - Integrate AI systems with flight software and ground segment tools - Create simulation environments for training and validating AI models - Collaborate with software, systems, and operations engineers on AI-driven features - Research and prototype novel approaches to space-specific AI challenges Basic Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Mathematics, or a related field - Strong programming skills in Python - Experience with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar) - Understanding of statistics and mathematical foundations of ML - Experience with version control systems such as Git What We're Looking For We're building technology that hasn't been done before. Experience is helpful, but curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn quickly matter more. If you're excited about spacecraft, enjoy solving hard engineering problems, and want to help build something new, we encourage you to apply - whether you're early in your career or more experienced.
