Reusable systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. Defining and designing that system is most efficiently done with a well understood, robust, and flexible CAD infrastructure. As the Stoke CAD/PLM System Architect, it is your responsibility to design, develop, build, maintain, and improve the CAD and PLM infrastructure that allows the rest of the Stoke team to design and build rockets as efficiently as possible. In this role you will own building and honing one of the most important tools our team relies on. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.

• Customize and maintain a Teamcenter interface that improves Stoke’s ability to design and produce rockets (requires use of BMIDE).
• Build, maintain, and constantly improve the reuse library of common parts at Stoke (you will do all the modeling for this to ensue you are engaged with the tools you are architecting)
• Provide real-time support to users who are having issues and get them unstuck so we can keep designing and building rockets as fast as possible
• Collaborate with designers to develop and maintain custom tools, features, and tool ribbons to accelerate Stoke’s design process
• Work with IT to ensure the correct number and type of licenses are maintained
