We are a growing hardware company building complex electromechanical products, and we are scaling fast. We are looking for a Director of Supply Chain & Logistics to take ownership of how we source, plan, build, and deliver — and to build the operational backbone that lets us scale without breaking.
This is a true player-coach role. You will lead and steady a small, hardworking team while staying deeply hands-on yourself: getting into the details, anticipating bottlenecks before they hit, and proactively engaging to solve problems before they become crises. You will balance the tactical, day-to-day firefighting with the strategic work of charting the long-term course for our supply chain organization. If you are energized by building operations from the ground up — and by the satisfaction of watching a scrappy team mature into a scalable one — this role is for you.
You will have real ownership and the opportunity to shape the supply chain organization from the ground up during a pivotal growth stage. You will work alongside a passionate, hands-on team building genuinely complex and meaningful hardware — and you will see the direct impact of your leadership as the operation matures around you.
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.

Join us at Firestorm as we redefine defense procurement, making cutting-edge technology accessible to all at a fraction of the cost.
