xCell

In office

Full-time

These are not maintenance roles. We're building new variants of a fielded platform, and we need engineers who want to own hard problems from first principles through production. You have at least a senior level engineering background with a focus in Mechanical and/or Systems Engineering, and you’ve worked on complex hardware platforms. You'll work directly alongside experienced systems and mechanical engineers who have built hardware that has been fielded in real operational environments, and you'll have the latitude to shape how we approach engineering challenges at a company that is still early enough for your fingerprints to matter.

If you want to spend your time in a large program office working minutiae and moving PowerPoints, this isn't the right place. If you want to build things that matter, that have a near term impact, be part of a team that acts both with urgency and rigor, and work with a tight team that holds a high bar, then we should talk.

Why This Role, Why Now

xCell is at an inflection point. We have a fielded product, real customers, and an ambitious roadmap. The engineers who join now will define how we build the next generation of xCell — and they'll do it on a team that takes the work seriously.

Firestorm is a defense technology company solving one of the hardest logistics problems in modern warfare — how do you manufacture what you need, when you need it, and where you need it without support from traditional supply chains? Our answer is xCell: containerized, deployable manufacturing units built around advanced additive and traditional manufacturing that go where warfighters go. We're roughly 150 people, headquartered in San Diego, and we're past concept — xCell systems are in the field in both OCONUS and CONUS today and our development pipeline is aggressive.
