Dream Big at Firefly

Life at Firefly

At Firefly, we’re focused on making space attainable for everyone – including you! Each team member’s passion, dedication, and innovative ideas have a direct impact on fueling our successful trajectory into space. And there’s no shortage of meaningful projects to work on at Firefly. With launch, lunar, and orbital vehicles, Firefly has a diverse line of business with opportunities to get hands-on experience launching rockets, operating in space, and landing on the Moon.

Developing rockets, lunar landers, and spacecraft takes a workforce of builders, craftsmen, and innovators. Whether it’s laying composites, machining parts, welding hardware, sewing thermal systems or fabricating electronics, our manufacturing team gets "space" done. #mfgday25
