Summary
Sohom Roy is a multidisciplinary valve and propulsion engineer with eight years of hands-on experience in mechanical, electrical, and software systems across aerospace and robotics. Currently a Valve Engineer at Stoke Space, he has led propulsion and electronic pressure regulator projects at UC Berkeley’s Space Enterprise, culminating in chief engineer responsibilities and hotfire test preparations for bipropellant rockets. His internships at Stoke involved designing thrust chamber diffusers, environmental control systems, and automated servo test rigs, pairing Python-driven analysis and ANSYS simulations with manufacturable sheet-metal and welded designs. Sohom’s background in competitive robotics, ocean and assistive-technology research, and an awarded SPARK project to develop low-cost brushless motor controllers shows a consistent focus on controls, automation, and practical, low-cost hardware solutions. He brings rare end-to-end experience—from control software and DAQ electronics to structural and thermal analysis—that helps bridge lab prototypes to flight-ready hardware. Based in Cupertino, he combines academic rigor from UC Berkeley with proven systems engineering in high-stakes aerospace environments.
