Who We Are
At Firestorm, we're building toward a future defined by incontestable defense logistics. That means equipping warfighters with mission-critical capabilities at the point of need. Not in months, not from a depot halfway around the world, but now, in the field, on demand.
We're a VC-backed defense technology company pioneering an expeditionary manufacturing ecosystem that produces and sustains modular, mission-adaptable unmanned systems, parts and components for repair and sustainment, and the software to transform point solutions into a network of strategic assets.
We're building a team of engineers, operators, and problem-solvers who believe the future of deterrence cannot rely only on expensive, exquisite platforms made in centralized factories. We build and field affordable systems using distributed production capabilities at the edge. If you want to solve challenging problems that will reshape the future of defense, you're in the right place.
Why This Role, Why Now
Firestorm's products, manufacturing capabilities, and technical programs are evolving quickly. As we scale across xCell, UAS programs, and Advanced Manufacturing, the need for clear, consistent, and reliable technical documentation continues to grow.
This role will help ensure our documentation keeps pace with our technology and manufacturing operations. Working alongside engineering and manufacturing teams, you'll help develop, update, and maintain documentation that supports how Firestorm designs, builds, and delivers its products.
