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. Responsibilities Develop a complete understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software interfaces necessary to integrate and operate the launch vehicle Own Nova stage integrated avionics systems from receipt, tests checks, integration, and through  launch operations Develop electrical ground support equipment systems and integration and test plans for the complete stage and engine avionics system Coordinate with component owners, software and other engineering disciplines to identify and correct integration issues early in the design cycle to streamline launch site operations Facilitate/utilize hardware-in-the-loop test solutions to validate vehicle configurations and develop continuous integration test objectives Plan, author, and execute system integration and vehicle checkout tests / sequences at the launch site Troubleshoot electrical hardware issues on the Nova vehicle, and coordinate with component owners to drive corrective actions and design changes Develop day of flight procedures and sequences for battery charging, avionics health checking, and vehicle launch and recovery Support integrated stage and hot fire testing at Cape Canaveral Operate the vehicle avionics system through day-of launch and recovery Qualifications   B.S. degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, mechatronics engineering, or a related computer or engineering degree 5+ years of experience in a related role working on avionics / electrical / flight termination systems for launch vehicles or ground support equipment Practical and theoretical knowledge of electrical design, integration, and testing Proficient creating and implementing procedures and automated test sequences Experienced in design and building ground support or automation equipment for vehicle power-up, testin
