<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>DescriptionReusable launch systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. As a Loads Analyst at Stoke, you will be responsible for our coupled loads analysis methodologies and deriving structural loads throughout the launch vehicle. This will include developing analysis methods and tools, supporting development of the vehicle level model, and deriving appropriate forcing functions. You will work closely with other engineers throughout Stoke to accomplish these objectives. 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.

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.
