Description

Reusable launch systems depend on security, compliance, and risk management that enable speed without compromising the mission. As a GRC Security Architect, you will own the security governance, risk, and compliance architecture for Stoke’s NOVA program as we build and scale a fully reusable launch vehicle.

This is a hands-on role with end-to-end ownership of how security requirements become practical, auditable, and scalable controls across the company. You will define and drive the policies, standards, control implementations, risk processes, and evidence systems that support frameworks such as NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, CMMC, DFARS, CUI, ITAR, and other customer or regulatory requirements. You will work directly with SMEs across IT, security, software, infrastructure, engineering, manufacturing, legal, finance, and operations to translate complex obligations into controls that are clear, effective, and realistic for a fast-moving rocket company. You own the outcome, not just the checklist.

We are a small, highly motivated team. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, system owners, business leaders, and operations teams to identify risk, design practical mitigations, prepare for audits and assessments, and build a security program that enables the company to move fast while protecting sensitive information and mission-critical systems.

You must be ready to stay focused, move quickly, self-direct, and learn on the fly.

• Translate regulatory and contractual security requirements into practical, scalable technical and operational controls that can be implemented by IT, Engineering, Manufacturing, Software, Legal, Finance, and business teams
• Partner with IT and software engineering teams to design security controls that are effective, auditable, and compatible with fast-moving technical operations
• Develop and maintain key compliance artifacts, including control mappings, system security plans, control implementation statements, risk registers, POA&Ms, evidence repositories, audit responses, and executive summaries
• Lead internal readiness activities for audits, assessments, customer security reviews, and third-party compliance engagements
• Evaluate proposed systems, tools, vendors, cloud services, and business processes for security, compliance, data protection, and regulatory risk
• Provide security architecture guidance for sensitive systems, including identity and access management, logging and monitoring, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, network segmentation, secure cloud design, data handling, and secure software development practices
• Identify opportunities to automate evidence collection, control monitoring, compliance reporting, and risk tracking
• Serve as a senior advisor to technical and business leaders on security risk, compliance obligations, control tradeoffs, and practical implementation paths
• Perform additional duties as needed to support company security, compliance, and mission objectives

Description

Fully reusable launch vehicles are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. Building a fully reusable launch system with a small team requires high levels of ownership and accountability. This is the key to Stoke’s success.

Whether you are a structures RE, turbopump RE, machinist, welder, test RE, integration technician, or Stage RE, you need to understand how your work fits into the larger company products and own the execution of the tasks assigned to them. This includes knowing where your ownership ends and where someone else’s starts, ensuring minimal overlap and no gaps.

As a Stage Integration RE at Stoke, you are responsible for the technical and programmatic execution for all pre-ship integration and test operations of the stage. You will be expected to fully understand and own the stage’s integration from design through end of life and will work with all subsystems to ensure the stage is fully functional. There are no fences and accountability ultimately lies with the RE who owns the technical scope and programmatic execution at each level of the product.

Responsibilities

• Deliver stages that are factory-acceptance-tested and ready for integrated test to the Stage Test RE in Moses Lake and support future operations as required.
• Own the engineering definition of all multi-subsystem integrated assemblies.
• This includes the product structure, drawings, and work instructions that cross multiple subsystems from an integrated forward module to the full vehicle.
• This explicitly includes coordination of multiple teams to produce an integrated product and requires multidisciplinary understanding of rockets.
• Own, track, and communicate any deltas to the nominal definition, design, and configuration for specific serial numbers of the stage in coordination with other engineering leaders at Stoke.
• Own the stage integration & factory acceptance. This includes technical integration, schedule, and CONOPs.
• You will work with a variety of teams to make this happen, but the successful integration and initial checkout of the stage is your responsibility.
• Work with the manufacturing team to ensure that we have the necessary infrastructure to accomplish the stage build and factory acceptance test goals.
• Work with the test team to ensure clean hand-offs from the factory acceptance checkouts to the integrated testing.
• Drive continuous improvement of design, manufacturing, and checkouts of rocket stages.
• Support the Stage Lead in other ancillary tasks related to integrated system design and build.
• Work on-site at Kent Headquarters (WA) but be able to travel to both Moses Lake Test Site (WA) and the Cape Canaveral Launch Site (FL) to support operations on either side of your interface as needed.

Qualifications

• 5 years hands-on experience with complex integrated systems or products
• 2 years managing or leading teams preferred
• Exceptional command of engineering fundamentals
• Demonstrated experience working on multiple development projects through the full lifecycle, from concept through sustained operations, on an aerospace or similar high-performance product
• Demonstrated experience leading teams on complex, multi-disciplinary projects
• Proficiency with automation & control logic
• Working knowledge of product structures, PLM, and aerospace manufacturing techniques preferred
