Full-time

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.

At Firestorm Labs, driving business growth through compelling proposals, and empowering customers with clear technical documentation are essential. As a Senior Technical Writer supporting our Business Development team, your mission is to partner closely with product, engineering, capture, and proposal teams to deliver accurate, updated, and easy-to-understand documentation. You will play a key role in creating business development materials as well as technical manuals, ensuring our teams are fully equipped to win contracts and support customers effectively.

This role will work closely with our Business Development Managers and Capture & Proposal Manager to develop and manage the documentation that supports all phases of capture and proposal efforts. You’ll help shape strategic proposal content that integrates capture strategies, win themes, and discriminators tailored to mission-critical customer needs in the defense space. This includes crafting compelling narratives, whitepapers, proposal sections, and supporting materials that align with capture strategies and customer needs. In addition to business development deliverables, you will also produce and maintain user-focused technical documentation such as operational manuals, procedures, checklists, and release notes that help end users operate and maintain Firestorm’s advanced defense systems.

The ideal candidate brings a hunger for knowledge, a thirst for quality, and an eye for accuracy. Strong critical thinking and the ability to digest technically complex information are vital. You will help define and build documentation processes, tools, and templates to scale these efforts across the company. The management in coordinating stakeholders and managing documentation roadmaps will set the standard for clarity, quality, and consistency across written materials at Firestorm Labs.
