Firestorm Labs - Democratize the fight with radically-affordable, mission-adaptable power for air, land, and sea. Backed by NEA.
About the role
At Firestorm, we’re on a mission to revolutionize how defense solutions are designed and delivered. Our goal is to empower U.S. ally nations to effectively deter aggressors—regardless of their defense budget—through innovative, cost-efficient technologies. We call this vision “democratized deterrence.” As a VC-backed company at the intersection of defense and Silicon Valley, we’re pioneering the development of mission-adaptable aerial vehicles that put power back into the hands of operators.
What they're looking for
- Lead mechanical design efforts for key UAV subsystems across the entire product lifecycle: concept, prototyping, testing, production, and field support
- Analyze initial aerostructure designs against preliminary mass properties targets and strength and stiffness requirements
- Create and maintain high-quality 3D CAD models, detailed engineering drawings, and manufacturing documentation using SolidWorks, emphasizing GD&T principles to ensure precision and manufacturability
- Lead the structural mechanical design of aircraft primary and secondary structures in the airframe, from initial concept through production
- Develop and champion innovative structural solutions to optimize weight, cost, and performance
- Develop structural requirements, specifications, and test plans (DVP&R)
