Firestorm Labs - Democratize the fight with radically-affordable, mission-adaptable power for air, land, and sea. Backed by NEA.
About the role
Firestorm builds uncrewed aircraft and the manufacturing network that produces them: full-capability plants, deployable xCell edge factories, and forward-deployed sites that stand up production near the point of need.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years (or 6+ w/ PhD) building optimization, operations research, or data science solutions for complex operational problems
- U.S. person required due to ITAR regulations
- Demonstrated technical leadership on ambiguous problems, including setting modeling direction and influencing product or engineering decisions
- Strong background in mathematical optimization, including linear or mixed-integer programming, network optimization, scheduling, or related methods
- Hands-on experience with optimization tools such as Gurobi, CPLEX, OR-Tools, Pyomo, or equivalent
- Strong Python and SQL, with experience writing code that is tested, maintained, and used in production
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.
Firestorm builds uncrewed aircraft and the manufacturing network that produces them: full-capability plants, deployable xCell edge factories, and forward-deployed sites that stand up production near the point of need.
Crucible is the software that runs that network. It plans and executes production across factories that don't look alike, using supply that isn't guaranteed to arrive. It has to answer practical questions: what...
