Facilities Engineer Intern

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 Facilities team ensures that every operation across the site is 'go' at all times, supporting everything from power and utilities to highly specialized machines like industrial 3D printers. Our 1 million square foot headquarters is complex: one structure, but functionally 20 mini factories under one roof. That complexity brings unmatched opportunities to grow your skills through cross-training and ownership of specialized systems. With rapid expansion and development of the facility, we're helping build a truly state-of-the-art work environment. This team is deeply embedded in both planning and execution, brought in early to shape the physical assets that will support scaled operations. About the Role Support critical facilities systems (HVAC, compressed air, chilled water, DI water, cranes, fire protection, and building management systems) through data collection, trend analysis, and hands‑on troubleshooting alongside engineers and technicians. Assist with preventative maintenance planning by helping update CMMS (e.g., Akitabox) work orders, reviewing asset histories, and identifying improvement opportunities in reliability and uptime. Contribute to capital projects and upgrades by supporting design reviews, preparing technical documentation, coordinating with vendors, and tracking construction/installation progress. Perform engineering calculations and analysis (airflow, cooling loads, pressure drop, etc.) to support system sizing, modifications, or performance validation. Develop technical documentation including standard operating procedures, equipment specifications, and "lessons learned" reports to enhance knowledge transfer across the team. Participate in site-wide initiatives such as energy efficiency studies, safety audits, and continuous improvement workshops, contributing fresh perspective and recommendations. About You Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Civil, Construction, Mechanical, or related Engineering field. Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills, with attention to detail. Familiarity with building systems, construction methods, or infrastructure projects through coursework or prior experience. Ability to work collaboratively on multidisciplinary teams and communicate technical information clearly. Nice to Haves but Not Required Experience with AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, or similar design tools. Involvement in engineering clubs, professional societies (ASME, ASCE, IFMA, etc.), or extracurricular design/build activities. Previous internship or hands‑on experience at an engineering, construction, or facilities firm. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. #J-18808-Ljbffr Relativity Space
