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 world’s 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.
A thriving economy in space is needed to make life on Earth more vibrant, sustainable, and equitable. As such, fully and rapidly reusable rocket engines are needed to accomplish this mission.
Stoke’s Valves team is responsible for designing, developing, building, and testing various in-house and purchased valves for use on our launch vehicle, Nova. As a valves team we strive to make designs that are both reliable and easily manufacturable and Stoke is committed to developing in-house valve manufacturing capabilities for rapid iteration and self-sustainability. Our valves are used in a variety of applications, including but not limited to engine flow control valves, large propellant valves, and high-pressure gas valves.
As a Valves Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, designing, manufacturing, testing, and qualifying various valve designs for both the stages and engines. As a responsible engineer, you will be owner of the entire process for your designs. 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.
