<div>At Stoke, we believe that a thriving space economy leads to a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we are building our fully and rapidly reusable vehicle, Nova. It is designed to fly daily and solve the core challenges of space transportation – it reduces cost, increases availability, and enhances reliability. By radically lowering the cost and increasing the cadence of launch, we’re able to create a truly scalable space industry.Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered with ownership of their work. If you want to work with some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, come join us.</div>DescriptionStoke’s Stage Fluids team is developing a reusable LNG/LOX first stage and reusable LH2/LOX second stage for our launch vehicle, Nova. As a Fluids Engineer, you will be responsible for defining, designing, manufacturing, and testing various fluids systems across the rocket. You will be owner of the entire process for your designs, from early concepting and architecture trades, to creating models in CAD and completing analysis, to procuring parts with suppliers and integrating them onto the vehicle. 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.Responsibilities<ul><li>Collect design requirements from multidisciplinary teams, and use these to create concepts for fluids systems</li><li>Lead architecture trades for major fluids systems, rapidly transform these decisions into real-life hardware implementations</li><li>Develop fluids system concept of operations for ground, flight, and recovery phases of vehicle’s life</li><li>Perform gas and liquid fluids system sizing analysis (incompressible and compressible flow)</li><li>Design and analyze launch vehicle tubing, manifold, and mounting systems, ensure these systems are structurally capable of surviving vehicle load cases.

We&rsquo;ve reached a critical point in our history. Stoke is asking the tough question: How do we grow as a civilization without destroying our home? We believe a perspective from space will give us the information we need to achieve both. Space technology and satellite data help us understand the changing world around us. We are opening up access to and from orbit with our rockets designed to fly daily.
