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.DescriptionThe avionics system is the backbone of highly reusable, operable, and reliable space systems. As an Avionics Mechanical Engineer at an early-stage start-up you will be responsible for developing mechanical solutions for component packaging and launch vehicle integration of flight avionics hardware. You will work closely with the avionics development, structures, and production teams to design and implement those solutions, and continuously iterate to improve your designs. You will seek out state-of-the-art solutions to difficult problems and you will assist in the definition of company standards for avionics development. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self‑direct, and learn on the fly.ResponsibilitiesDesign, manufacture, and test packaging for flight avionics electronics and electro‑mechanical actuatorsDesign, manufacture, and integrate secondary structures used to integrate avionics components and harnessing on flight vehiclePerform thermal, structural, and tolerance analysis for electro‑mechanical assemblies using both hand calculations and finite element analysisDevelop mechanical design, 3D modeling, creation of production drawings and maintenance of design dataFailure analysis of components as it relates to thermal, loads, vibration and shockInterface with machine shops and production teams to integrate design for manufacturing best practices and produce hardware needed for qualification and flightOwn the hardware delivery timeline and success through inception, design, assembly, test, and integrationLead design reviews both internally externallyDrive continuous improvement efforts to increase throughput and reduce cost to meet launch targetQualificationsB.S. degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering1+ years of experience with mechanical or electromechanical design and analysis (internships and significant student project experience qualify)Preferred QualificationsSelf‑motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skillsExperience with CAD and FEA software packages including NX and AnsysExperience designing electronics component packaging for extreme environmentsExperience with harness routingStrong understanding of manufacturing processes including machining, 3D printing, and sheet metal fabricationExposure to high volume production designs with a focus on design for manufacturabilityExposure to designing for high vibration environmentsAbility to perform thermal analysis for avionics compExperience with fatigue and thermal testing of electro‑mechanical assembliesSolid understanding and application of GD&TExperience working with PCB designers and exposure to PCB layoutExcellent verbal and written communication skillsRigorous attention to detailBenefitsMedical, dental, vision and basic life insurance401(k) matchPaid time offFlexible schedulingEquityCompensationTarget Levels:Leve 1 Range: $91,000 - $114,900Leve 2 Range: $104,500 - $141,400Leve 3 Range: $123,000 - $184,400Our 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.To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.Equal OpportunityThe Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including with respect to disability and veteran status.
