Simulation and Modeling Engineer

Join Relativity, a company where autonomy, ownership, and impact exist at every level. As a Simulation and Modeling Engineer, you will be responsible for defining and analyzing how Terran R flies, from liftoff to landing. You will develop flight algorithms, simulate trajectories, and model Terran R's dynamic behavior across mission profiles. This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on the product, process, and culture of a rapidly growing company in the aerospace industry.

• Develop flight algorithms, simulate trajectories, and model Terran R’s dynamic behavior across mission profiles.
• Contribute to the 6DOF simulation used for GNC algorithm development, Monte Carlo analysis, and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing.
• Work with analysis and hardware teams to develop and integrate subsystem models into the 6DOF simulation.
• An undergraduate or graduate degree (BS/MS/PhD) in engineering, physics, mathematics or related disciplines
• Ability to work in a fast paced and intense startup environment
• Proficiency with compiled (e.g. C++, Rust) and scripted (e.g. Python) languages
• Ability to complete projects with ownership of end-to-end solutions with a high degree of independence
• Experience developing physics-based simulations of aerospace vehicles
• 2+ years of relevant full-time work experience
• Familiarity with the design and analysis of launch vehicles or space systems
• Experience implementing high-performance computing (HPC) solutions
• Experience developing aerospace vehicle simulations that interface with GNC algorithms and/or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing
• Experience implementing software development practices and workflows such as Docker, continuous integration (CI), and continuous deployment (CD)
