Firestorm Tech Stack
Modular autonomous systems for Department of Defense missions
Firestorm designs and manufactures modular unmanned systems for military special operations and air-base defense. The stack spans embedded systems (C/C++, RTOS, PX4, ROS 2) and manufacturing automation (SolidWorks, Fanuc, ABB), with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Terraform) supporting real-time flight data pipelines. The hiring surge (56 roles in 30 days, two-thirds engineering and manufacturing) reflects scaling from prototype toward low-rate production—a bottleneck explicitly named in their challenges.
