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 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.

Stoke is on a mission to unlock affordable access to space with its 100% reusable rocket system, Nova. Learn more: www.stokespace.com.

To build its next-level hardware, Stoke made a new kind of software – Fusion by Stoke Space: www.stokefusion.com. Refined by two years of Stoke’s internal adoption and more than a year of public availability, Fusion is a collaborative toolset for high-cadence engineering. Unlike classic MES and ERP systems, Fusion provides a modern cloud experience for agile, iterative hardware builds. Fusion-equipped engineering teams move fast.

In addition to Stoke’s own use, Fusion external customers are developing lunar landers, climate tech systems, satellites, nuclear energy sites, and other incredible products in North America, Europe, and Japan. Now Stoke is expanding its commercial team to win share of the evolving market often known as “software for hardware.”
