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.
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.
Description
Reusable systems with frequent launch cadence are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. A highly operable, reliable, safe, and robust ground system is an integral part of a fully reusable launch system. As a Launch Environmental, Health, & Safety (EH&S) Engineer for our dedicated launch complex at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, you will be responsible for supporting the commissioning, and operating a new launch pad from scratch. You will be responsible for supporting EH&S across Stoke’s Florida sites, including maintaining, & executing Stoke’s environmental stewardship and ensuring Stoke’s operations set the standard for employee and environment health and safety. 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.
