Firestorm Labs - Democratize the fight with radically-affordable, mission-adaptable power for air, land, and sea. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Firestorm is seeking a Configuration Manager to own product configuration across our aircraft platforms. Modularity is the core of what we build: swappable propulsion, quick-change payload and mission modules, interchangeable radios, sensors, and navigation suites, and airframes that can be printed at the point of need inside an xCell. That flexibility is our competitive advantage — and it multiplies the number of valid configurations we have to be able to define, build, deliver, and support.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- U.S. Citizenship required due to ITAR regulations
- 7+ years of configuration management, product data management, or engineering release experience in a hardware environment with real rigor (aerospace, defense, automotive, medical device, or similar)
- Demonstrated hands-on ownership of a formal change control process: ECR/ECO authoring, CCB facilitation, engineering release, and effectivity setting
- Working fluency with a PLM system (Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill, ENOVIA, Duro, or similar) and with CAD data management practices
- Strong command of EBOM and MBOM structures, indented BOMs, part numbering schemes, and revision control — including where the engineering and manufacturing views legitimately diverge
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.
