<div class="content-intro"><p>At Stoke, we believe a thriving space economy will enable a vibrant, sustainable, and equitable future here on Earth. That is why we’re building Nova, our fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle. Designed for daily flight, Nova tackles the core challenges of space transportation by reducing cost, increasing availability, and improving reliability. By radically lowering launch costs and increasing flight cadence, we’re helping create a truly scalable space industry.</p> <p>Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and empowered to take ownership of their work. If you want to work alongside some of the most dedicated and talented people on Earth, we’d love to have you join us.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Description</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As a core member of a small and agile GNC team, you will work on all aspects of launch vehicle and spacecraft dynamics and control including launch into orbit, maneuvering through orbit, and reentry from orbit to a precise landing location. You will own GNC algorithms and trajectory designs from early architecture definition through rigorous qualification test and flight operations. You will work closely with the vehicle hardware design team to develop vehicle control devices and set system-level interfaces. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Key Responsibilities</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Develop software capabilities such as algorithms for vehicle guidance, attitude control, engine control, and state estimation</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Develop and validate vehicle and environment models to simulate GNC algorithm performance and robustness</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Ensure system quality and performance through rigorous test</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Conduct Monte Carlo analysis of nominal and failure cases to evaluate vehicle performance and flight safety</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Document GNC algorithm and plant model verification and validation for regulatory approval and customer mission assurance insight</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Oversee new customer trajectory designs and mission capabilities from conception through flight</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Minimum Qualifications:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li>Bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or similar</li> <li>2+ years of relevant industry experience; PhD in aerospace engineering or similar considered as experience</li> <li>Exceptional command of fundamentals of feedback control system design</li> <li>Familiarity with fundamentals of orbital mechanics and orbital trajectory design</li> <li>Experience in guidance, navigation, and control algorithm design and validation</li> <li>Experience with simulation and modeling of physical systems</li> <li>Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink</li> <li>Excellent written and verbal communication</li> <li>Ability to lead and follow</li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Preferred Qualifications:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="15" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"multilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"><span data-contrast="auto">Master’s degree or PhD in aerospace engineering or similar.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Benefits</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Equity – We are pleased to offer equity in the form of stock options to all full-time employees. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Comprehensive benefits program including subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance </span><span data-ccp-props=
