America is critically deficient in production of defensive munitions- we currently produce shipborne interceptors in the few hundreds per year while our adversaries are producing offensive threats in the tens of thousands per year. Furientis was started to help solve this problem- introducing a new class of cost-effective, high production rate, interceptor missiles. We're seeking motivated individuals who internalize this problem and are eager to apply their past experience in similar industries (aerospace, defense, automotive/racing, robotics) and out of the box thinking to solve this problem for the US and its allies.

About the Role

You will make Furientis the company the best engineers and technicians want to join. You'll do it by documenting the real work of building and flying missiles, then turning that footage and those stories into a brand that could only be ours.

Most defense startups have started to look and sound the same. Your job is to give Furientis its own visual language and voice, grounded in the people, hardware, and places that make up this company.

This is a hands-on role. You'll shoot, edit, design, and write much of the work yourself, and bring in freelancers when a project needs more.

You'll set up the capture and release process so nothing important goes undocumented. Top candidates should be citing your films and stories as a reason they applied.

This role reports to the CEO and is on-site in Los Angeles, with regular travel to Mojave and other test sites.

What You'll Do

Photo and video: Shoot photo and video of flight tests, motor firings, factory work, and daily life at the company. Build and maintain the media library.

Brand identity: Create the Furientis visual system and voice, including logo use, typography, color, motion, and photo style.

Films and campaigns: Conceive and produce launch films, recruiting films, and social content from the footage you capture.

Merch and collateral: Art direct merch, patches, posters, and company materials that people actually want to keep.

Creative partners: Hire and direct freelance photographers, editors, designers, and fabricators.

Release coordination: Work with our export compliance and program leads so every public asset is cleared before it goes out.

About the Company

Furientis

Designs and manufactures high-rate interceptor missiles

Furientis is a defense technology company that designs and builds low-cost interceptor missiles with a focus on high-rate production. Its products, like the F1.0 Tactical Interceptor, are built from the ground up with vertically integrated subsystems—the seeker, control actuation, airframe, and solid rocket motor—using proprietary motor chemistry optimized for throughput. The missiles are designed for large-scale manufacturing, targeting production of about 1,000 units per factory per year and a 30-minute final assembly time per vehicle. The company emphasizes in-house manufacturing, rapid testing, and scalable operations, supported by a funded OTA contract with the U.S. government. Furientis aims to expand its production capabilities and flight-test operations, as shown by its seed funding round to hire more staff and increase testing and manufacturing capacity.
