Jobs at Firestorm

Lead design, integration, calibration, testing, and qualification of piston and small turbine propulsion systems for sUAS. Develop engine test plans, ECU calibrations, fuel systems, propeller selection, failure investigations, and documentation while supporting test events and vendor technical integration.

Serve as an embedded, high-autonomy people-operations partner reporting to Legal. Lead employee relations, investigations, compliance, compensation governance, contractor classification, and cross-border/H-1B coordination. Build scalable policies, forms, workflows, and governance; manage an HR Coordinator; own HRIS/ATS configuration and data integrity; advise C-suite and managers; and translate legal guidance into defensible operational actions to prevent recurring issues.

The role involves new product development, systems engineering across various interfaces, sustaining fielded systems, and elevating engineering rigor.

Develop and qualify manufacturing processes for additive (MJF, FDM, metal) and CNC, support fielded xCell deployments, train operators, perform first-article inspection and materials/process qualification, and feed application feedback into engineering to improve systems.

Lead end-to-end execution of complex aerospace and defense programs: manage schedules, budgets, risks, vendor contracts, compliance, variant management, customer relations, cross-functional coordination, NPI, demos, and continuous product and process improvements to meet DoD requirements and stakeholder objectives.

The Applied AI & Optimization Engineer will develop optimization algorithms, implement analytics layers, and integrate AI assistants within the manufacturing platform.

The engineer designs and implements software for manufacturing automation, integrates robotics, develops testing infrastructure, and ensures software-hardware interaction in production settings.

The Principal Software Engineer leads engineering initiatives, mentors technical teams, ensures high-quality execution, and partners with architects on system designs, while also writing production code when necessary.

The Infrastructure & Security Engineer is responsible for security architecture and compliance, managing identity, secrets, and trust boundaries in manufacturing software across various environments. Duties include driving FedRAMP and ITAR readiness, defining compliance topology, and influencing architectural decisions. Collaboration with cloud infrastructure and devops teams is key to ensuring security and operability.

As a System Architect, you will design and oversee the integration of software systems for manufacturing, focusing on coherence and end-to-end architecture.

Lead and execute Firestorm's marketing: own annual strategy, build and run integrated campaigns, manage events, PR, brand, digital, and content. Align marketing with business development, manage team, vendors, and budget, and deliver measurable ROI and executive reporting.

The Senior Staff Airframe Design Engineer will lead mechanical design efforts for UAV airframes, driving innovative and manufacturable designs while collaborating cross-functionally and mentoring junior engineers.

Responsible for executing complex PCB designs, collaborating with teams, and ensuring quality in electrical systems for new products. Requires hands-on technical skills in circuit design and project management.

Lead the strategy and execution of the xCell mobile manufacturing product line, defining product vision, managing roadmaps, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to meet customer needs.

The Administrative Assistant greets visitors, manages front desk operations, maintains security procedures, coordinates travel, supports inventory management, and assists with various administrative tasks.

Lead and execute developmental flight testing of sub-scale and full-scale UAVs. Design and run flight and environmental tests, ensure safety and regulatory compliance, build instrumentation and data-acquisition setups, analyze data (MATLAB/Simulink/Python), coordinate cross-functional teams and test ranges, and document results and corrective actions.

Lead and execute complex PCB designs (multilayer, HDI, rigid-flex) from placement through release. Define stack-ups, impedance targets, signal integrity constraints, DFM practices, documentation, vendor validation, and mentor others while collaborating with electrical, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams.

Design, simulate, and integrate antennas and RF systems (HF through X-band) for sUAS platforms. Develop link budgets, perform EMI/EMC and cosite analyses, lead antenna integration, execute chamber and flight testing to MIL-STD/DO-160 standards, and produce RF documentation. Support vendor selection, field tests, and RF payload design (SIGINT, EW, comms relay).

The Project Engineer will manage UAS development, coordinating efforts across engineering and production, ensuring alignment with program goals, timelines, and compliance. Responsibilities include technical reviews, subsystem integration, and development of flight test procedures.

Lead development and integration of flight-ready autopilot and onboard software for UAS. Own bring-up, SIL/HIL test frameworks, verification workflows, real-time monitoring, and flight-test support to shorten cycle time from code change to validated flight performance.
