At Stoke, we believe a thriving space economy will enable a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we’re building Nova, our fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle. Designed for daily flight, Nova tackles the core challenges of space transportation by reducing cost, increasing availability, and improving reliability. By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we’re helping create a truly scalable space industry.
Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered to take ownership of their work. If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, we’d love to have you join us.
Description
Reusable systems with frequent launch cadence are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. Highly operable, reliable, and robust ground operations are an integral part of a fully reusable launch system.
The avionics system is the backbone of highly reusable, operable, and reliable space systems. As the Launch Avionics Integration & Test Engineer at an early-stage start-up, you will be responsible for integrating all avionics flight hardware on the launch vehicle at the final stages of build in the launch hangar at the historic LC-14, where John Glen became the first American to orbit earth. This will require a diverse understanding of electrical, mechanical, and software interfaces necessary to integrate and operate the launch vehicle. This includes design, build, and procurement of electrical ground support equipment required to support launch operations in the hangar and on the launch pad.
You will work closely with the avionics, fluids, structures, software, and manufacturing teams to define integration, electrical checkout, avionics test and operations sequences that will culminate in the first launch of the NOVA rocket. You will seek out state-of-the-art solutions to difficult problems and you will assist in the definition of company standards for avionics integration and test at the launch site. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.
