Modern defense is shifting toward speed, adaptability, and distributed systems.
Firestorm is building modular drones and mobile manufacturing platforms that allow teams to produce and deploy unmanned systems faster and at lower cost. Their approach uses advanced 3D printing to manufacture drones and parts, including in field environments.
This is what faster hardware looks like.
Momentum signals:
Raised $47M in Series A funding
Relocated headquarters to Miramar to support growth
Secured rights to distribute mobile 3D printing systems for field use
Technology being tested for future U.S. military applications
Open roles across:

Connect — 1 Open Role
Why they matter:

Alvys — 7 Open Remote Roles, San Diego HQ
Why they matter:
Logistics is one of the largest and most complex industries in the world, and much of it still runs on fragmented systems.
Alvys is building an AI-powered transportation management platform that gives carriers and brokers real-time visibility into loads, routes, and performance. The goal is to reduce inefficiencies and improve decision-making across freight operations.
This is the layer most people never see, but everything runs on.

Founded in 2020 and scaling quickly in Solana Beach
Open roles:
If you want to be close to logistics, AI, or building core operational software, this one is worth a look.
Pleno Inc — 1 Open Role
Why they matter:
Biological testing is becoming more complex, with a growing need to analyze multiple data types at once.
Pleno is building a platform that enables high-scale, multi-omic detection, allowing thousands of biological targets to be analyzed in a single sample. This has applications across oncology, genomics, and drug development.
This is the kind of infrastructure that changes how research gets done.
Momentum signals:
Raised $25M Series B to drive commercial growth
Announced first commercial agreement with Slopes Bio
Platform enabling large-scale sample processing in real-world settings
Open roles:
If you are interested in biotech, genomics, or next-generation diagnostics, this one is worth a look.
