Firestorm Labs - Democratize the fight with radically-affordable, mission-adaptable power for air, land, and sea. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Firestorm builds modular autonomous aircraft designed to adapt across missions, payloads, and deployment environments. Developing and testing those aircraft requires simulation that can evolve just as quickly. We are hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Simulation team and build the software, infrastructure, and tools used to develop, test, train, and demonstrate Firestorm aircaft.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of software, simulation, robotics, or related engineering experience
- 3+ years leading software engineering teams
- U.S. person required due to ITAR regulations
- Hands-on experience building or integrating simulation systems for aircraft, UAS, robotics, or other complex physical systems
- Experience with Gazebo, JSBSim, AirSim, FlightGear, or similar simulation frameworks
- Strong C++ and Python or similar software engineering experience
More about this role
At Firestorm, we are building the future of expeditionary defense manufacturing and autonomous systems. Modern conflict has exposed a fundamental problem: the systems needed most by operators are often too expensive, too slow to produce, and too difficult to sustain at scale. Firestorm exists to change that.
We develop mission-adaptable aerial systems and deployable manufacturing infrastructure designed to put capability directly into the hands of the warfighter. From modular unmanned aircraft to xCell — our deployable microfactory — our goal is to make defense systems rapidly deployable, adaptable, and producible at the point of need.
We are looking for builders, operators, and problem-solvers who want to work on meaningful technology with real-world impact.
