Job Description

About the Role

Terrestrial Software is the central nervous system of Relativity Space, powering design, manufacturing, testing, and launch through a unified stack of enterprise applications, factory automation, and ground systems. Our goal is instant data accessibility and automated decision-making embedded in every workflow, removing friction and enabling fast, intelligent company-wide operations. The role involves building our entire in-house ERP stack from scratch, including manufacturing execution systems (MES), production planning engines, and durable workflow orchestration to automate complex manufacturing processes spanning weeks, with a focus on automating manufacturing workflows, handling failures gracefully, and optimizing schedules around physical constraints and real-time factory conditions.

Key Responsibilities

Design workflow engines that coordinate hundreds of interdependent manufacturing steps.
Build state machines that handle multi-week production cycles with automatic retry logic, human escalation, and rollback capabilities.
Write planning algorithms that optimize schedules around material constraints, equipment availability, and test windows.
Create fully-featured web applications used by technicians, engineers, and operators across the factory, including work order management, real-time process monitoring, and intervention tools.
