Original job description

Who We Are 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. By prioritizing operator effectiveness, we’re pioneering a new era of aerial vehicle design. We aim to upend the traditional defense procurement model by delivering world-class capabilities at a fraction of the usual cost. Join us at Firestorm as we redefine defense procurement, making cutting-edge technology accessible to all at a fraction of the cost.

About the Role

Firestorm Labs is seeking an experienced and driven Firmware Engineer who has a specialized focus in embedded platforms. In this role, you will support the development, integration, and deployment of avionics and embedded systems for our next-generation unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This position will advance our flight-critical firmware and avionics systems by ensuring they meet key performance and reliability standards, while enabling full mission readiness. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to integrate flight-critical systems, resolve complex technical issues across domains, and support both IRAD and field operations. The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment, where rapid iteration and field validation are core to success. What You'll Do

Conduct unit and integration testing, including fault injection and MISRA C compliance checks, to maintain high standards in safety-critical applications. Diagnose and resolve cross-domain issues across electromechanical, software, networking, and RF subsystems in both lab and operational environments Develop and maintain embedded software, test automation scripts, and integration tools using Python, C/C++, Bash, and Shell Translate mission and operational requirements into technical specifications and integration plans Design, execute, and document test plans, integration guides, test reports, and troubleshooting manuals Collaborate with internal engineering teams and leverage Firestorm’s manufacturing and simulation capabilities to accelerate deployment cycles
