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
The Facilities Engineer will support the engineering, design, operation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of critical infrastructure systems that support rocket design, production, and testing. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong technical expertise, field execution, vendor negotiation and management, and the ability to make priority and data-driven decisions under pressure. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly, challenges are complex, and extreme ownership is expected. This individual will work cross-functionally with manufacturing, test, launch, EHS, security, operations, and leadership teams to solve infrastructure problems at scale while supporting rapid operational growth.
This position requires an engineer who is technically capable, detail-oriented, resourceful, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced development environment with aggressive schedules. 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.
Responsibilities
- Lead the engineering, design, commissioning, operation, repair, and optimization of facility infrastructure systems including chilled water and equipment cooling, electrical distribution, fire protection, compressed gasses and cryogenic systems, plumbing, and industrial utilities
- Manage facility improvement projects from concept through execution, including scope development, budgeting, contractor coordination, commissioning, and turnover to manufacturing
- Evaluate infrastructure capacity and system performance to support manufacturing growth, new equipment installation, process changes, facility expansion, and future production requirements.
- Partner closely with engineering, manufacturing, testing, and operations to rapidly resolve facility-related constraints that impact schedule and execution
