Dark Matter Lab - About

[WATCH THE TERRAN 1 LAUNCH

A high-autonomy innovation lab within Relativity Space, designed for rapid experimentation and deep-tech prototyping in pursuit of world-changing moonshots.

—

Dark Matter Lab, an innovation lab within Relativity Space, is a small, high-caliber team chartered to explore the frontier of what’s possible through deep tech R&D, hardware and software experimentation, and moonshot thinking. The lab exists to:

• Serve as a proving ground for ambitious, world-impacting ideas
• Build where no roadmaps exist yet
• Experiment without borders

Turning “What If” Into “What’s Next”

At Dark Matter Lab, you won’t be handed a roadmap – you’ll help write it. This is where raw ideas become real-world breakthroughs. Our principles are:

• Navigate the unknown: There are no preset projects. You help define them
• Build fast, learn faster: We value prototypes over polish and progress over perfection
• Collaborate, don’t silo: We partner across the industry to accelerate breakthrough ideas
• Work on the edge of what’s next: Our high-risk, high-reward projects could become the foundation for next-generation technologies

Led by Builders, for Builders

We’re hiring full-stack engineers, hardware generalists, rapid prototypers, and passionate self-starters who:

• Thrive in ambiguity
• Think “what if” and follow it with “let’s try”
• Take projects from ideation to execution
• Prefer building things, not decks
• Are fluent across disciplines

Where Bold Ideas Begin

At Dark Matter Lab, bold ideas emerge and evolve in real time. You’ll work with world-class minds across disciplines, challenging constraints and pushing each other past what seemed possible. You’ll be part of our 10-person founding team, led by Yang Li and reporting directly into company leadership, with high visibility and high impact. This is a place where moonshots aren’t just imagined. They’re built.

The future won’t change itself. Come build it with us!
