Job Description
A thriving economy in space is needed to make life on Earth more vibrant sustainable and equitable. Space technology will enable global access to information solutions to climate change answers to global food security products that transform healthcare clean energy production and more. Today rocket launch options are slow expensive and unreliable. Stoke is building the worlds most efficient fully and rapidly reusable rocket designed to fly daily that will radically increase access to space and open up the space economy to safeguard our precious home Earth.
Description
Reusable systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. As a System Analyst at Stoke you will own crossfunctional 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 stateoftheart analysis techniques and tools and you will develop company standards for analysis methods. As part of a small wellsupported 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 cant be matched in most other roles. You must be ready to stay focused move fast selfdirect and learn on the fly.
Responsibilities
- Build systemlevel 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
- Perform engineering analysis to trade and down select competing vehicle designs
- Select and design materials for thermal protection of structural components
- 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
- Execute test campaigns to characterize new materials and designs
- Communicate design details and requirements to hardware designers
- Review test and flight data to anchor models troubleshoot problems and propose design changes
Qualifications
