About The Company
We are building the future of modular, open-source architectures supporting the Department of Defense requirements to create Affordable Mass. Firestorm is redefining military expectations for on-site modularity to support the widest array of mission areas.
About the Role
Who We Are
 
Firestorm is a defense technology company building the future of contested logistics and small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). We design, build, and field affordable, attritable, mission-configurable platforms that give U.S. and allied warfighters an asymmetric edge in environments where traditional logistics break down and air superiority can no longer be assumed.
 
Our customers are operators. We move at their tempo — from concept to flight test to forward employment — and we measure ourselves on whether we put capability in their hands when it matters.

Firestorm is offering a remote business development internship over winter break.

The role is flexible and project-based, with hours scaled to the BD team's workload.
