STOKE Space is building Nova, a fully reusable launch vehicle designed for daily flight to radically lower space launch costs and increase flight cadence. The Flight Safety System (FSS) is fundamental to maintaining public safety, and this role focuses on the Flight Termination System (FTS)—a multidisciplinary responsibility spanning design, test, certification, and operational deployment.
As a Flight System Safety Responsible Engineer, you will own the FTS across the full product lifecycle. Your responsibilities include:
• Design aspects of the Flight Termination System and its interfaces with rocket hardware and safety regulations
• Integrate FTS components into the launch vehicle and perform all associated integrated testing from production through launch
• Define environmental test requirements, test plans, and execute testing to qualify FTS components in collaboration with test engineers and vendors
• Define verification methods, collect verification evidence, and provide documentation of verification of all tailored RCC319 and RCC324 requirements to government entities
• Partner with integrated test operations related to FTS components, ensure tight configuration management, and host System Readiness Reviews
You should be organized, a strong communicator, and excellent at identifying and solving problems related to complex system integration. You must be familiar with multiple engineering disciplines (electrical, software, environmental test) and well-versed in at least one. The role demands focus, speed, self-direction, and the ability to learn rapidly in a fast-paced environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or similar field
• 2+ years of experience in an engineering role on a complex product requiring high performance, high reliability, and rapid development
• Exceptional command of fundamentals of flight dynamics and statistics
• Familiarity with fundamentals of mechanical design and component testing
• Experience with simulation and modeling of physical systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• ITAR Compliance: Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), or protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) to conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations
