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.

We are seeking a full-time Manufacturing Engineer to join our dynamic team in building out our factory in Kent, WA. As a manufacturing team, we are responsible for the most significant knob in making the Stoke mission successful: the time it takes to build a rocket.

This is the responsibility of the manufacturing team. The scope of this role will cover manufacturing development of:

Metal Fabrication
Large Tooling
Integration of Fluids/Avionics
Welded/Fastened assemblies

At Stoke, we value a first principles approach to engineering. In this role, you will own and develop the tools required to design and manufacture cutting-edge launch vehicle hardware.

2+ years’ experience in a manufacturing environment
Intimate knowledge of aerospace and engineering standards, and a willingness to question and define requirements
Extensive experience with detailed mechanical designs including sheet metal parts, machined parts, weldments, fasteners, and complex assemblies

Experience in designing tooling and fixturing
Experience in process development and research
Demonstrated understanding of configuration management and change control
Ability to lead
Ability to follow
Excellent written and verbal communication
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, or similar

Benefits

Equity – We know that our employees are the reason we succeed. To give everyone a stake in our future, we are pleased to offer equity in the form of stock options to all regular, full-time employees.
Comprehensive benefits program including subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance
Company-paid life and disability insurance
401(k) plan with employer match
4 weeks’ Paid Time Off

Level 3: $123,000 - $184,400

Our job posts are intentionally written to attract a wide variety of experience levels, and we make decisions about the right fit on a per-candidate basis.

Your actual level and base salary will be decided based on your specific experience and skill level.

Employment at the Company is contingent upon satisfactory completion of reference and background checks, and on your ability to prove your identity and authorization to work in the U.S. for the Company.
