About the role
Firestorm Labs is seeking a Principal, Manufacturing Design Engineer to join our engineering team in San Diego. You will be in an individual contributor role and will need to be as comfortable in a design review as on the shop floor. You'll join the aircraft design team at the start of a program, make sure what we design can be built well, and then carry that work through process design, tooling, and the transition into production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design team member: Serve on the aircraft design team from program inception, contributing design work on structures, parts, and assemblies alongside the rest of the team
- Design and drawings: Create and release models and drawings in NX, and in SolidWorks where needed, applying GD&T per ASME Y14.5 and model-based definition practices
- Configuration management: Work in our PLM system at the level of a design lead, managing releases, revisions, and engineering changes, and keeping design, tooling, and process data aligned
- Ground support and shipping: Design ground support equipment and shipping, handling, and logistics solutions for production, test, and fielded systems
- Tool procurement and commissioning: Support tool procurement, supplier technical questions, tool proofing, and commissioning in partnership with the manufacturing team
- Transition to production: Hand off process roadmaps to the Manufacturing Engineering team to develop into full production documentation, and support early builds as the product moves into manufacturing operations

This role reports to the SVP of Engineering.
What You’ll Do
- Design team member: Serve on the aircraft design team from program inception, contributing design work on structures, parts, and assemblies alongside the rest of the team.
- DFM/DFA: Drive DFM/DFA from day one. Review designs early and often, bring manufacturing constraints and cost drivers into trade studies, and push for parts and assemblies that are simpler to...
