<div>At Stoke, we believe that a thriving space economy leads to a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we are building our fully and rapidly reusable vehicle, Nova. It is designed to fly daily and solve the core challenges of space transportation – it reduces cost, increases availability, and enhances reliability. By radically lowering the cost and increasing the cadence of launch, we’re able to create a truly scalable space industry.Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered with ownership of their work. If you want to work with some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, come join us.</div>DescriptionReusable systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. As a System Analyst at Stoke, you will own cross-functional vehicle analysis projects spanning one or more areas of aerodynamics, thermal, fluid, and structural analysis. You will conduct trade studies, define vehicle subsystem architecture, develop hardware component requirements, troubleshoot system integration issues, and validate analysis models with test and flight data. You will work closely with the vehicle design and manufacturing team through all phases of the product lifecycle. You will seek out state-of-the-art analysis techniques and tools and you will develop company standards for analysis methods. As part of a small, well-supported team, you will have access to the resources you need to get the job done right while simultaneously boosting your skills at a pace that can’t be matched in most other roles. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.Responsibilities<ul><li>Build system-level models of launch and reentry vehicles to define vehicle loads and performance in one or more of the following areas: vehicle aerodynamics, aerothermal loads, component and cavity thermal environments, propulsion system thermodynamic performance, or pressurized system thermal/structural combined loads</li><li>Perform engineering analysis to trade and down select competing vehicle designs</li><li>Select and design materials for thermal protection of structural components</li><li>Collaborate with hardware design engineers and other analysts on component and subsystem analysis of mechanical, fluid, and propulsion components with combined fluid flow, thermal, and structural load conditions</li><li>Execute test campaigns to characterize new materials and designs</li><li>Communicate design details and requirements to hardware designers</li><li>Review test and flight data to anchor models, troubleshoot problems, and propose design changes</li></ul>Qualifications<ul><li>5+ years experience working with and analyzing hardware for aerospace or similar environments</li><li>Practical and theoretical expertise in several of the following disciplines:<ul><li>Thermodynamics and all forms of heat transfer</li><li>External flow aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics in flight regimes from subsonic to hypersonic</li><li>Internal flow dynamics of liquid, gas, and multi-phase flow</li><li>Structural analysis of components with thermal-induced loads</li></ul></li><li>Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis tools at several levels of fidelity</li><li>Experience developing scripting tools to automate analysis and data reduction workflows (Python preferred)</li><li>Proficiency in analyzing multi-phase fluid flow and heat transfer (experience with cryogenics preferred)</li><li>Familiarity with thermal control systems for the space environment</li><li>Experience developing thermal-fluid loads derived from literature, CFD, or test data.</li><li>Experience with 1D system models (e.g., SINDA/FLUENT), 3D FEA thermal/fluid modeling tools (e.g., Thermal Desktop), Python, and Simulink.</li><li>Excellent written and verbal communication</li><li>Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or similar</li></ul>Preferred Qualifications <ul><li>10+ years experience working with and analyzing hardware for aerospace or similar environments</li><li>Experience with thermal or thermodynamic analysis and flight data reduction for vehicles operating on-orbit (upper stages or spacecraft)</li><li>Basic proficiency with Computer Aided Design (CAD) software (NX, Solidworks, or equivalent) (edited)</li><li>Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or similar</li></ul>Benefits<ul><li>Equity – We are pleased to offer equity in the form of stock options to all regular, full-time employees. </li><li>Comprehensive benefits program including subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance </li><li>Company-paid life and disability insurance </li><li>401(k) plan with employer match </li><li>4 weeks’ Paid Time Off  </li><li>Holidays – 10 days (including an end-of-year closure) </li><li>Paid Family/Parental Leave  </li><li>On-site gym or monthly wellness stipend (depending on location) </li><li>Dog friendly offices! </li></ul>CompensationTarget Levels:<ul><li>Level 3 range: $123,000 -

We&rsquo;ve reached a critical point in our history. Stoke is asking the tough question: How do we grow as a civilization without destroying our home? We believe a perspective from space will give us the information we need to achieve both. Space technology and satellite data help us understand the changing world around us. We are opening up access to and from orbit with our rockets designed to fly daily.
