Additive Manufacturing Technician

Join us at Firestorm as our Additive Manufacturing Technician. You will be responsible for building out, operating, and maintaining Firestorm’s additive manufacturing lab. Work with our technician team and Lead Manufacturing Engineer.

Firestorm as a company grew out of the simple question: how does a US ally country with a respectively low defense budget deter an aggressor state entity with a vastly larger war chest? We’re building the very answer to that question, something we call “democratized deterrence.” Firestorm is a VC-backed, defense-meets-Silicon Valley technology company developing mission-adaptable aerial vehicles to put the power back into the hands of the operator. We aim to upend the current defense procurement cost paradigm by bringing world-class capabilities to bear at meaningfully lower costs.
