Payload Integration Engineer information

What is a payload integration engineer?

Payload Integration Engineers are professionals responsible for ensuring that spacecraft payloads, such as satellites or scientific instruments, are properly designed, tested, and integrated with the launch vehicle. They coordinate between payload providers, launch vehicle teams, and mission planners to ensure compatibility and safe installation. Their work includes overseeing mechanical, electrical, and thermal interfaces, performing integration tests, and troubleshooting any issues that arise during the process. These engineers play a crucial role in successful space missions by ensuring payloads are delivered to orbit safely and efficiently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a payload integration engineer?

To thrive as a Payload Integration Engineer, you need a solid background in aerospace or mechanical engineering, experience with systems integration, and a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with CAD software, simulation tools, and industry standards such as NASA or ESA requirements, as well as certifications like EIT or PE, are often required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective collaboration and communication skills set top candidates apart. These competencies ensure that complex payloads are integrated safely and efficiently, meeting mission requirements and minimizing risks.

What are some common challenges payload integration engineers face when coordinating with multiple teams during a satellite launch campaign?

Payload Integration Engineers frequently collaborate with cross-functional teams, including spacecraft engineering, mission operations, and launch providers. A common challenge is ensuring all payload requirements are met while aligning schedules and technical specifications across these groups. Effective communication and strong organizational skills are essential to anticipate and resolve integration issues, manage last-minute changes, and ensure safety and mission objectives are upheld. Successfully overcoming these challenges not only ensures a smooth launch but also fosters valuable experience in multidisciplinary teamwork.

Job description

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 Stennis Test team designs, builds, and operates Relativity's propulsion and stage test stands. Team members are hands-on with large-scale, complex systems including fully integrated engines and stage assemblies, pushing hardware to the limits and directly contributing to flight readiness. The work is fast-paced and highly operational, ideal for those with backgrounds in aviation, automotive, manufacturing, offshore operations, industrial systems, construction, or adjacent industries. You'll work in a close-knit, dynamic environment where collaboration between technicians, operators, and engineers is not only encouraged, but expected. As the company scales, the Stennis Test team becomes even more critical to unlocking our next phase of growth: proving out full-stage systems and paving the way for routine, reliable flights of Terran R.

About the Role:

As an Infrastructure Technician IV, you will perform hands-on activities that directly support site readiness and infrastructure development. You will collaborate with contractors, technicians, and engineers to execute tasks that ensure our site remains operational and compliant with safety protocols.

  • Performing routine site maintenance and upkeep
  • Operating machinery and tools safely in support of construction or maintenance tasks
  • Participating in concrete forming, tying, and finishing
  • Conducting demolition activities in accordance with safety guidelines
  • Supporting site civil work, including drainage, utilities, roadways, and launch pad construction
  • Working collaboratively with internal teams and external contractors on infrastructure projects
  • Using digital systems (e.g., Jira, Fiix, Maximo) to document work and track tasks
  • Following environmental health and safety (EHS) protocols in all activities

About You:

  • Must be able to lift and move items up to 50 lbs safely
  • Ability to work at heights, use ladders, and perform physical tasks such as squatting, stooping, or kneeling while wearing tools
  • Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including overtime, weekends, and non-standard shifts as needed
  • Capable of working in various outdoor conditions (e.g., heat, cold, rain, wind)
  • Reliable transportation to and from the worksite
  • Ability to perform physical tasks associated with construction and site support (e.g., lifting, standing, climbing, pushing, pulling, grasping, stooping, and stretching)

Nice to haves but not required:

  • Advanced experience in maintenance, construction, and/or facility repair
  • Experience operating construction or site maintenance equipment
  • Familiarity with concrete finishing techniques
  • Prior use of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) or digital ticketing tools (e.g., Jira, Fiix, Maximo)


Successful candidates must clear a background check administered by the US government to obtain clearance for on-site work at our government partner location in Stennis, MS.

At Relativity Space, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation practices. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
Compensation is only one part of our total rewards package. Relativity Space offers competitive salary and equity, a generous PTO and sick leave policy, parental leave, an annual learning and development stipend, and more! To see some of the benefits & perks we offer, please visit here.
