Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
As a Recruiter, you’ll play a pivotal role in scaling our talent across a broad range of disciplines. From software engineers and hardware specialists to operations professionals and executive leaders, you’ll work on high-impact roles that shape the future of our company and the industry.
This is not a traditional recruiting role. You’ll be embedded in a fast-paced, technical environment where agility, resourcefulness, and deep partnership with hiring managers are key. If you’re excited about building diverse, high-performance teams across functions and levels, this is the role for you.
You’ll be joining a growing Talent team that is deeply collaborative, mission-driven, and passionate about building at scale. We believe great hiring is a team effort, and we operate with transparency, urgency, and empathy. Our team supports a rapidly expanding organization and partners closely with leadership to shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, and employer brand.
We are looking for multiple Recruiters:
Software Recruiter - Owns hiring for engineers and technical talent that power Hadrian’s software and automation systems
G&A Recruiter - Builds out critical business functions across Finance, HR, Legal, and Operations to support our rapid growth.
Go-To-Market - Drives hiring for sales, marketing, and customer-facing roles that bring Hadrian’s solutions to market.
Own full-cycle recruiting across a diverse set of functions (e.g. Software, Hardware, Operations, Leadership)
Partner with hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements, success profiles, and team dynamics
Develop creative sourcing strategies to build diverse, high-quality pipelines
Deliver exceptional candidate experiences that reflect Hadrian’s culture and values
Lead efficient and scalable interview processes, balancing speed with quality
Leverage data to track recruiting performance, identify bottlenecks, and inform decisions
Contribute to strategic initiatives including employer branding, talent market mapping, DEI efforts, and recruiting operations
Act as a trusted thought partner to stakeholders across the company, influencing hiring decisions with clarity and insight
You have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple functions or domains
You’re energized by variety and thrive in environments where no two roles are the same
You’re a strong communicator who can build trust with hiring managers and candidates alike
You are data-literate, process-oriented, and relentless about improving the craft of recruiting
You approach recruiting with curiosity, resilience, and a bias for action
You care deeply about candidate experience and team dynamics
Bonus: Experience hiring in technical, manufacturing, or early-stage startup environments
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $100,000 - $175,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

The Role
We are looking for a People Partner who can play the critical role in enabling both our people and our business to perform at their highest levels. People Partners support a complex and diverse workforce spanning highly specialized engineers, hourly skilled trades, and operational leaders and recognize that different teams require different approaches to thrive.
This People Partner should be an embedded collaborator who works closely with leadership across functions to drive performance, build strong teams, and develop systems that support both the human and operational needs of the business. They need to have a focus on improving talent development, navigating organizational complexity, and supporting a culture of accountability, growth, and high trust.
This role requires someone who can move fluidly between the strategic and the tactical, with a deep understanding of the distinct needs of both exempt and non-exempt employees in a regulated, high-integrity environment.
People Partners at Hadrian are both business-minded and people-first — equally comfortable designing scalable programs as they are handling sensitive situations with discretion and care.
What You'll Do
Act as a trusted advisor to leaders to align people strategies with business goals.
Proactively manage and resolve employee relations issues with high judgment and discretion, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and company policies.
Support and guide the implementation of performance management cycles, feedback culture, and employee development frameworks tailored to diverse workforce needs.
Equip managers with the tools, training, and guidance needed to effectively lead teams across all levels of the organization, from engineering to the shop floor.
Champion initiatives that promote employee engagement, high trust, and a sense of belonging — while also reinforcing accountability and performance standards.
Support org-level transitions such as reorgs, leadership changes, and policy rollouts with clear planning, thoughtful communication, and change enablement.
Interpret and apply people policies in ways that maintain fairness, clarity, and consistency across sites, shifts, and job types.
Partner closely with peers in People Ops and Recruiting to drive holistic and scalable people programs that serve the full org.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of relevant industry experience.
Experience supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations, ideally in environments with manufacturing, engineering, or high-compliance requirements
Thrives in a dynamic environment with a diverse set of employees and evolving business needs; can flex between tactical support and long-term strategic thinking.
Understands the business, its drivers, and how people programs impact operations, performance, and culture.
Brings discipline to processes, follow-through, and documentation — especially in a compliance-driven and audit-sensitive environment.
Navigates sensitive conversations with empathy, clarity, and maturity; builds trust across all levels of the organization.
Clearly conveys information, decisions, and feedback in ways that resonate with both desk-based employees and hourly team members on the shop floor.
Handles complex, gray-area people issues with sound judgment, risk awareness, and an eye for practical solutions.
Builds strong relationships with stakeholders across the business to enable aligned and executable people strategies.
What Will Set You Apart
Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills; clear and concise communication style. Comfortable working with large groups and facilitating discussions to create a positive and engaging experience.
Superb organizational skills, with experience triaging many requests and priorities in a high-volume, dynamic environment.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $120,000 - $135,000 (actual range may vary based on experience and performance).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.

Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!
The factories-as-a-service team analyzes our current customers' production and supply chain challenges, builds data-driven presentations, designs and scopes factories of the future, and assists the Federal and Strategic sales team in forming long-term partnerships with the DOD, Primes, and other manufacturers.
This team is responsible for scoping, design, cost, schedule, and technology analysis, as well as proposals for major programs and manufacturing transformations across all manufacturing methods and domains.
With several major programs in flight, we are hiring rapidly for this team that will effectively analyze, design, scope, plan, and handover (or join) execution of large-scale manufacturing efforts.
The Role:
Hadrian is seeking a Process Engineer with expertise in sheet metal manufacturing to define and develop robust, scalable production processes for complex parts. This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and cross-functional — enabling production readiness and factory design for critical programs.
You’ll translate technical data (BOMs, CAD models, drawings) into actionable manufacturing strategies, working closely with design, operations, quality, and customer teams. You’ll scope new parts, develop process routings, and define the tooling, equipment, and inspection infrastructure needed to build them at scale.
What You'll Do:
Analyze engineering data to classify and scope sheet metal parts into process families
Develop first-principles cycle time estimates and detailed process routings
Define factory requirements for cutting, forming, welding, finishing, and inspection
Translate processes into staffing, equipment, layout, and QA plans
Specify tools, jigs, fixtures, and inspection equipment
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to validate assumptions and drive alignment
Own the process definition from part intake through production ramp
Drive schedule recovery, manufacturability improvements, and risk mitigation for critical programs
What We're Looking For:
5+ years of hands-on experience in sheet metal manufacturing or process engineering
Strong understanding of flat pattern development, bend allowances, and GD&T
Proficient in sheet metal processes: laser/plasma/waterjet cutting, forming, spot/GMAW/GTAW welding, finishing
Experience developing process routings, tooling/fixture designs, and quality plans (FAI, SPC, MSA)
Clear communicator with strong documentation and project planning skills
What Will Set You Apart:
Experience launching new production lines or greenfield operations
Exposure to aerospace, defense, or other regulated manufacturing environments
Familiarity with NDT, weld qualifications, and special processes
Background in automation, robotics, or advanced inspection techniques
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is scaling and growing extremely fast and we need to execute. We can’t afford to lose time on missing context, duplicated work, or decisions made with limited data. We are building a world class Strategy and Operations team within our R&D / Special Projects group to run projects that design, launch, drive adoption, formalize, and transition the operating model to enable this hyper growth.
This is an operator role with a technical bent focused on outcomes and adoption. This role rapidly designs and prototypes v1 requirements / inputs / workflows and can self-serve lightweight analysis and systems (e.g., retool automations) before handing off to other team members.
What You’ll Do
Project ownership and outcomes: Independently define scope, success metrics, exit criteria, and deliverables for a project; run the operating cadence; deliver measurable outcomes just process and documents
System design: Translate ambiguous cross-functional problems into a sustained system with clear inputs, decisions, outputs, enforcement, and named owners
Technical prototyping and measurement: Prototype simple workflows where needed, self-serve basic analysis, and define and measure KPIs so adoption and durability can be measured; partner with teammates to productionize
Rapid v1 launch and iteration: Ship a v1 mechanism within 3 to 6 weeks; pilot with one to two teams; gather usage feedback and iterate to improve
Cross-functional execution: Drive execution across teams through clear ownership, dependency management, follow-through, and selective escalation
Executive-ready communication: Write decision memos and narrative updates with crisp recommendations and explicit tradeoffs; produce durable documentation that enables consistent execution
Adoption and handoff: Drive adoption until the mechanism runs on time without “policing”
Operate in ambiguity: When problems are underspecified, rapidly create structure in the first few hours (clarify the decision to be made, define constraints, propose a v1 approach, and drive to a real pilot)
Be a factory teammate when needed: for example: help install a machine or ship a part
What We’re Looking For
Ideal profile: Top-tier consultant or equivalent operator with 1-4 years of experience and demonstrated implementation and scrappy system builder instincts
Experience: 1–3 years post-grad in top-tier consulting (MBB, Strategy&, ATK, LEK, etc.) with evidence of implementation, or Strategy and Operations / Business Operations / Chief of Staff-type roles at high-tempo orgs, or high-growth startup operator roles (program ops, planning, bizops) particularly in Defense Tech
Ability to run a workstream: Can independently set scope, define metrics and exit criteria, align stakeholders, ship v1 quickly, and drive adoption through handoff
Communication: Strong verbal and written communication; able to communicate effectively across all levels
Analytical self-serve: Strong Excel or Google Sheets; working comfort with tools like SQL, BI, retool, etc. is preferred to pilot, validate metrics, diagnose issues, and measure adoption; interest in automating manual processes
Measurement mindset: Can define what must be logged and timestamped so adoption rate and handoff durability are measurable
Technical partnership: Can write clear requirements, outputs, and identify and discuss data quality with teammates
Operating system fluency: Comfortable working across Jira, Confluence, calendars, and dashboard tools to create repeatable cadence and documentation
Mission alignment: Strong interest in manufacturing and Hadrian, with the ability to learn and succeed in a fast-moving environment
Comfort with ambiguity and pace: Demonstrated ability to take a messy problem with unclear inputs, create a plan fast, and deliver a usable v1 without waiting for perfect data or complete direction
Low-ego, high-ownership “help anywhere” mindset: Willing to do whatever it takes to meet the mission, including hands-on operational support when required
What Will Set You Apart
System-first operator: You enjoy getting your hands dirty and improving operations, not theoretical frameworks or deck-only recommendations
Strong judgment: You know when to be scrappy and when to formalize, and you can define “good enough” v1
Adoption leadership: You can create buy-in, remove friction, and make the “right” process the path of least resistance
Systems thinking: You can translate messy reality and competing priorities into a system that links inputs to decisions to actions to accountability
Shop floor curiosity: You enjoy learning from engineers and factory technicians to ground systems in reality; you find manufacturing fascinating and want to sit on the shop floor every day
Ability to operate in ambiguity
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $135,000 - $175,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role:
This is a hands-on leadership role for a true AM quality expert. You will own the full qualification lifecycle, from Installation Qualification (IQ) through Operational Qualification (OQ) and Material Qualification (MQ), ensuring Hadrian's processes meet or exceed the requirements of AMS 7003, AMS 7032, NASA-STD-6030/6033, NAVSEA Technical Publications, and prime customer specifications. This role spans multiple AM modalities, including Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes, with specific emphasis on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) qualification for U.S. Navy and submarine industrial base applications. You will be responsible for qualification across both PBF-LB and DED; however, deep hands-on expertise in one of these modalities is required, with working knowledge of the other sufficient to provide technical direction and grow into full ownership. You will work cross-functionally with Hadrian's Materials and Process (M&P) team, Applications team, and Systems team to achieve results. In this model, you own the requirement set, including qualification criteria, process control standards, KPV limits, and acceptance specifications, while the M&P, Applications, and Systems teams conduct the implementation. Your deep knowledge of AM process physics, laser and/or arc-based energy sources, feedstock metallurgy, and qualification methodology will be the foundation on which Hadrian builds a scalable, auditable, and production-ready AM operation.
What You’ll Do:
Cross-Functional Requirements Ownership: Own the AM quality requirement set across Hadrian's operations. Collaborate with the Materials and Process (M&P) team, Applications team, and Systems team to define qualification criteria, process control standards, KPV limits, material acceptance specifications, and documentation requirements. Ensure requirements are clearly communicated and properly implemented through ongoing oversight and compliance verification. Serve as the quality authority during cross-functional reviews, providing technical direction while partner teams execute implementation activities.
Machine Qualification and Process Validation: Own the end-to-end qualification framework for AM equipment, including IQ, OQ, and MQ. Define qualification requirements, acceptance criteria, and test matrices. Collaborate with the Materials and Process (M&P) team to develop build layouts and qualification plans; M&P executes those plans while this role provides oversight and ensures compliance. Ensure all machines are maintained in a known, calibrated state with active qualification status.
KPV Management and Process Control: Define and own the requirements for Key Process Variables including laser power, beam caustics (spot size, shape, M2, thermal shift, location of focus), scan field calibration, shielding gas flow, and oxygen content. Collaborate with M&P and Systems teams to establish tolerance bands, measurement frequencies, SPC programs, and process window studies per AMS 7003 and AMS 7032 guidance. Ensure ongoing compliance through oversight and review of KPV data.
Laser Diagnostics and Beam Characterization: Define requirements and acceptance criteria for all laser power measurement, beam profiling, and caustic measurement activities. Collaborate with M&P to specify beam profiling equipment and define measurement protocols. Provide oversight of measurement execution and interpret results to ensure laser systems are performing within qualified parameters.
Gas Flow Measurement and Control: Define requirements for gas flow characterization across build platforms, including measurement methods, acceptance criteria, and correlation to part quality. Collaborate with M&P on execution of anemometer-based measurements and flow mapping. Ensure airflow consistency is validated during IQ and monitored through PM.
DED and WAAM Qualification: Own the qualification framework for Directed Energy Deposition processes, with specific focus on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for U.S. Navy and submarine industrial base applications. Collaborate with M&P to define process control requirements, qualification test plans, and acceptance criteria for DED/WAAM in accordance with NAVSEA Technical Publications, AWS D20.1, and applicable defense standards. Provide oversight of qualification execution and ensure methodology supports NAVSEA technical warrant holder approval for AM production.

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Build and manage a robust data warehouse and write software to coordinate and deploy data pipelines.
Conceptualize and own the data architecture for multiple large-scale projects.
Create and contribute to data frameworks that span on-premises and cloud infrastructure, improving the efficacy of logging machine data, while working with data infrastructure to triage issues and resolve.
Solve our most challenging machine data and AI integration problems, utilizing optimal ETL patterns, frameworks, query techniques, and retrieval architectures sourcing from structured and unstructured data sources.
Collaborate with machine engineers, operations research scientists, product managers, and data scientists to understand data and AI needs, translating complex systems into tools people actually use.
Get to build alongside an incredible team of software engineers, mechanical engineers, operators, and the best machinists/CAM programmers in the world.
What We're Looking For
Have extensive experience shipping modern, data-centric applications (our data systems use Argo-Workflows, Dagster, Superset, Aurora, RDS, S3, and back-ends are Go and Python, with gRPC/Avro and Kafka as our messaging platform).
Experience building AI infrastructure in production: RAG pipelines, vector databases (such as Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, or equivalent), embedding systems, or semantic search.
Hands-on MLOps experience: owning the full lifecycle of ML models from training through deployment and monitoring (SageMaker, Ray, MLflow, or equivalent).
Have experience with IaC and GitOps tooling (We use Terraform extensively and have centralized on Kubernetes/Argo/Helm).
Extremely well versed with data querying techniques across NoSQL and SQL platforms.
Have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and/or equivalent experience.
Solid understanding in building data architecture and pipelines.
Are self-motivated and eager to get hands-on and tackle challenges independently while working collaboratively toward identified objectives.
Work with a platform mentality -- driven to find the right architecture and plan up front and solve problems with the long term in mind.
Take responsibility and ownership finding solutions no matter what.
Deploy your broad experience and big picture view to fix undreamed of problems with innovative solutions.
Feel passionate about making things move in the real world with software.
Are excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles.
Are a highly effective communicator when speaking or writing, especially when presenting technical information.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $120,000 - $200,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k

Ability to influence leaders and work cross functionally to create alignment, solve problems, and drive adoption of new processes.
High level of systems thinking with the ability to connect dots between teams and identify operational gaps.
Strong judgment and decision making skills with the ability to operate independently and prioritize effectively.
A detail oriented builder who enjoys both designing strategy and executing the work.
Comfort with HR systems, onboarding tools, and workflow automation.
A warm, professional presence that helps new hires feel supported and welcomed.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience scaling onboarding programs during periods of rapid headcount growth.
Background supporting onboarding in both technical and non technical environments.
Experience designing or delivering learning pathways, training curricula, or ramp plans.
Ability to build onboarding analytics dashboards or track program performance with precision.

We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.\n\n\nBENEFITS\n\n - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees\n\n - 401k\n\n - Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.\n\n - Flexible vacation policy\n\nITAR Requirements\n\nTo conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Part Process Knowledge - Strong background in developing, programming, setting up, and troubleshooting part manufacturing processes.
Software - Experience with CNC programming software, CAD modeling tools, and general computing environments.
Communication - Clear and effective written and verbal communication. Ability to collaborate across teams and convey technical information accurately.
Machining Knowledge - Deep understanding of machining and/or inspection processes. Ability to teach, guide, and share knowledge with others in a production environment.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience with 5-axis milling machines
Experience with hyperMILL, NX, Heidenhain, Fanuc
Strong GD&T and print reading capability
CMM programming and inspection experience
Hands-on machine setup and operation
Systems engineering or process standardization experience
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
Flexible vacation policy

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world, and Workforce Development is the team responsible for ensuring our people can keep pace with it. At the center of that work is a system of documentation, skills tracking, and compliance content that the entire training program depends on. Without it, technicians cannot be trained, certified, or production-ready at the pace Hadrian requires.
Workforce Systems is the central function within Workforce Development responsible for unlocking new capabilities and enabling scale across Hadrian's factories. As the pace and complexity of that work grows, we are looking for a Workforce Systems Specialist to own the execution that keeps it all running. We need someone who takes pride in accuracy and consistency, can translate raw capability knowledge into structured content across multiple systems, and understands that the work they produce has a direct impact on what happens on the factory floor.
What You'll Do
Capability Knowledge Coding: Take raw capability information and structure it into the systems the workforce depends on, including skills matrix entries, standard documentation, written evaluations, and compliance course assignments.
Content Revisioning: Manage the revision process for existing documentation and system content as processes change, ensuring updates follow WFD revision control standards and are published accurately across all relevant systems.
New Process Documentation: Collaborate with Training Specialists and SMEs to understand new processes and develop accompanying documentation once a process has been cleared for technician handoff.
Trainee Handbooks: Collaborate with Training Specialists and SMEs to identify foundational knowledge requirements for each role and develop trainee handbooks that introduce key concepts.
Documentation Maintenance: Audit, reformat, and maintain training documentation across all active stations to ensure content meets current WFD standards. Publish approved documentation and manage access requests to maintain audit compliance.
Skills Matrix Administration: Enter, maintain, and update skills data and organizational requirements within the skills matrix platform based on defined processes and structures.
LMS Administration: Maintain existing compliance courses, enter and edit data as needed, and build e-learning content for compliance-related topics.
System Hygiene: Ensure documentation spaces, skills data, and certification records are consistently accurate, well-organized, and ready for internal and external audits.
What We're Looking For
Attention to detail: you catch errors, inconsistencies, and gaps before they become problems. You understand that accuracy in documentation and systems data directly affects training quality and audit outcomes.
Knowledge translation: you can take raw or unstructured information from an SME, engineer, or governance team and convert it into clear, structured content across multiple systems.
Revision control: you treat documentation as a controlled asset. You manage updates through the proper process, ensure nothing is published outside of approved standards, and keep content accurate as things change.
Systems literacy: you pick up new tools quickly and work within multiple platforms with discipline, regardless of the specific system.
Organization: you can manage a queue of documentation requests, content builds, and administrative tasks without dropping items or losing track of status.
Communication: you can work with SMEs, Training Leads, and other partners to gather information, clarify requirements, and close open loops without needing heavy direction.
What Will Set You Apart
Background in technical writing, instructional design, or LMS administration in a manufacturing, engineering, or regulated environment
Experience working with raw process data or engineering documentation as source material for training content
Familiarity with skills matrix platforms or structured competency frameworks
Experience in a role where documentation accuracy and version control were non-negotiable
A manufacturing or engineering background with a genuine interest in how knowledge gets structured and transferred
Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO documentation standards
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $70,000 - $95,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world, and Workforce Development is the team responsible for ensuring our people can keep pace with it. As Hadrian scales, one of the most critical challenges we face is this: the knowledge that makes our manufacturing processes work lives inside a small group of subject matter experts. It is undocumented, informal, and at risk of being lost as the company grows.
The Capability Development Specialist exists to solve that problem. You will embed with SMEs across Hadrian's manufacturing operations, ask the right questions, and extract the process knowledge that would otherwise never be written down. Your output -- transcripts, video, written process notes -- becomes the foundation that Workforce Development builds training and certification programs from.
This is a role for someone who is naturally curious, earns trust quickly with technical experts, and gets genuine satisfaction from bringing clarity to complex, unfinished knowledge. You do not need to be a manufacturing expert. You need to be the kind of person who knows how to get inside what an expert knows and put it into a form that anyone can use.
What You'll Do
Knowledge Extraction: Embed with SMEs to observe, interview, and document how manufacturing processes actually work, surfacing the tribal knowledge that would otherwise remain undocumented.
Multi-format Documentation: Produce transcripts, video recordings, and written process notes that capture process knowledge comprehensively enough to serve as source material for Workforce Development and other teams.
SME Relationship Management: Build trusted working relationships with SMEs to maintain ongoing access to the knowledge needed to keep capability documentation current and accurate.
Process Observation: Spend time on the factory floor observing work in practice, identifying gaps between what is documented and how work actually happens.
Handoff to Workforce Systems: Package and hand off captured knowledge to Workforce Systems in a clear, organized format that can be structured into training content and certification frameworks.
Staying Current: Re-engage with SMEs when processes change, ensuring captured knowledge reflects the current state of each capability at all times.
What We're Looking For
Knowledge extraction: you know how to surface what people know but struggle to articulate. You ask questions that go beyond the obvious, follow threads, and document what you find without filtering it prematurely.
Active listening and observation: you pay close attention to both what people say and what they do. You catch the details and nuances that others miss, and you know that the most important information is often what no one thinks to mention.
Clear and thorough documentation: you produce written and recorded outputs that are accurate, comprehensive, and organized well enough for someone else to act on without needing to ask follow-up questions.
Credibility in technical environments: you earn trust with subject matter experts quickly. You ask intelligent questions, know when something important is being glossed over, and build the kind of relationships that give you ongoing access to knowledge.
Adaptability: you move between technical domains comfortably. You do not need to be a domain expert in every capability, but you pick up new processes and environments quickly and adjust your approach accordingly.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience conducting structured or semi-structured interviews with subject matter experts
Background in journalism, UX research, ethnographic research, technical writing, or documentary production
Familiarity with a manufacturing or industrial environment
Experience working in a regulated environment where documentation accuracy has real consequences
Background in a technical or engineering domain with a genuine interest in knowledge capture and documentation
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

We are seeking a highly capable Buyer to join our Finance team as a resource supporting Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations, and G&A functions. This role will own the “long tail” of purchasing, everything outside of direct production materials and large capital expenditures.
This position is critical to ensuring operational velocity, cost discipline, and procurement consistency across a wide range of categories including services, small equipment, software, and one-off purchases. You will operate at the intersection of Finance and Supply Chain, bringing structure, speed, and financial rigor to decentralized purchasing needs.
What You’ll Do
Own end-to-end purchasing for indirect and non-strategic spend categories (e.g., services, low-volume equipment, tooling, software, and ad hoc buys)
Act as a centralized procurement partner to Engineering, Operations, Facilities, IT, and G&A teams
Improve procurement workflows, intake processes, and approval structures
Generate and manage purchase orders, ensure sufficient accounting detail, and facilitate approval workflows
Partner with FP&A and Accounting to ensure proper coding, accruals, and spend visibility
Identify, evaluate, and onboard suppliers for a wide range of categories with an emphasis on speed, cost, and reliability
Build and maintain a preferred supplier network for recurring indirect needs
Track supplier performance across cost, quality, and delivery
Lead negotiations for pricing, terms, and lead times across diverse categories
Enforce purchasing discipline and prevent maverick spend
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, supply chain, or related field
3–7+ years of experience in procurement, sourcing, or purchasing
Experience operating in fast-paced or high-growth environments with ambiguous requirements
Proficiency with ERP systems, Excel, and procurement workflows
Strong negotiation skills and ability to manage multiple categories simultaneously
High attention to detail with strong financial and operational judgment
What Will Set You Apart
Experience with indirect procurement categories (services, facilities, IT, CapEx-lite equipment)
Strong accounting acumen and ability to capture requisite front-end details
Background in both Finance and Supply Chain organizations
Familiarity with purchase-to-pay (P2P) processes and internal controls
Experience scaling procurement processes
Ability to operate independently while influencing stakeholders across functions
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $110,000-$130,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

What You'll Do
Architect and maintain the certified dataset layer in dbt—models, tests, documentation, and SLAs that the entire company trusts
Build forecasting models for demand planning, capacity utilization, delivery risk, and financial projections
Define metric standards: canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, and refresh cadence
Perform cross-functional deep dives connecting financial and operational data (e.g., margin erosion vs. throughput changes)
Build scalable reporting frameworks that work at 1 factory and 20

Partner with Data Engineering on pipeline architecture, data contracts, and quality SLAs
What We're Looking For
Expert SQL including complex window functions, recursive CTEs, query plan analysis, and cost-based optimization
Deep dbt knowledge including advanced macros, custom tests, package development, and CI/CD integration
Experience with Snowflake and/or ClickHouse at scale
Python proficiency (pandas, numpy, scipy, statsmodels)
Statistical rigor: hypothesis testing, regression, time series, and experimental design
Ability to build, validate, and communicate forecast models with proper uncertainty quantification
Strong cross-functional communication—can translate between data and business with any audience
Bachelor's or Master's in Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, or equivalent
P3: 2–4 years | P4: 4–7 years | P5: 7+ years in analytics, data science, or quantitative roles

Manufacturing-specific knowledge: SPC, control charts, process capability
Orchestration experience (Dagster, Airflow)
Background in OR, industrial engineering, logistics, supply chain, or quantitative finance

The Role:
As a Lead Fullstack Engineer, you will own a major domain within Flow and drive outcomes across multiple teams and factory sites.
We have a broad set of internal applications, with significant opportunities to redefine manufacturing software. No aerospace, defense, or manufacturing background required.
Flow is Hadrian's FactoryOS: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
The scope of this role is product engineering leadership at organizational scale: shaping architecture and execution across multiple teams while maintaining high standards for quality, security, observability, and delivery.
What You’ll Do
Own and lead a major Flow domain end-to-end, from strategy and architecture through delivery, rollout, and long-term operation.
Architect distributed systems that operate reliably across many factories, balancing latency, resilience, data consistency, observability, and operational complexity.
Scope, architect, implement, and deploy critical full-stack applications that drive revenue and factory throughput.
Set technical direction for a product vertical, define roadmaps with stakeholders, and align engineering execution to measurable business outcomes.
Partner with internal and external customers, operators, and factory leadership to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans and shipped solutions.
Lead cross-team architecture and execution: clarify dependencies, sequence work, manage risk, and keep delivery momentum across shared systems.
Establish durable engineering practices across teams, including testing strategy, operational readiness, observability standards, and incident response playbooks.
Build and mentor senior engineers, raise review quality, and improve team execution through strong technical leadership.
Translate business priorities into technical plans and milestones, then drive delivery with clear ownership, sequencing, and accountability.
What We’re Looking For
Proven lead-level ownership of product domains and business-critical systems at scale, including technical strategy, prioritization, and sustained operational responsibility.
Strong experience building and evolving distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Excellent problem-solving skills: break down ambiguous, high-impact problems, navigate trade-offs, and make pragmatic decisions under constraints.
Exceptional communication and influence: align engineers, operators, and leadership; facilitate decisions; and keep stakeholders informed with clarity and precision.
Track record of leading critical initiatives across several teams and shipping high-quality outcomes in large, complex codebases.
Strong systems thinking: understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that understanding to prevent bottlenecks and future scaling issues.
Demonstrated ability to improve engineering effectiveness through better architecture, process, documentation, and mentoring.
Extensive experience shipping modern, full-stack applications (our front-ends are React/Typescript and back-ends are Go).
Product-minded and user-driven, with a bias to action and a focus on getting to the right solution rather than being right.
Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $200,000 - $270,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.

Own and lead a major Flow domain end-to-end, from strategy and architecture through delivery, rollout, and long-term operation.
Architect distributed systems that operate reliably across many factories, balancing latency, resilience, data consistency, observability, and operational complexity.
Scope, architect, implement, and deploy critical full-stack applications that drive revenue and factory throughput.
Set technical direction for a product vertical, define roadmaps with stakeholders, and align engineering execution to measurable business outcomes.
Partner with internal and external customers, operators, and factory leadership to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans and shipped solutions.
Lead cross-team architecture and execution: clarify dependencies, sequence work, manage risk, and keep delivery momentum across shared systems.
Establish durable engineering practices across teams, including testing strategy, operational readiness, observability standards, and incident response playbooks.
Build and mentor senior engineers, raise review quality, and improve team execution through strong technical leadership.
Translate business priorities into technical plans and milestones, then drive delivery with clear ownership, sequencing, and accountability.
What We’re Looking For
Proven lead-level ownership of product domains and business-critical systems at scale, including technical strategy, prioritization, and sustained operational responsibility.
Strong experience building and evolving distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Excellent problem-solving skills: break down ambiguous, high-impact problems, navigate trade-offs, and make pragmatic decisions under constraints.
Exceptional communication and influence: align engineers, operators, and leadership; facilitate decisions; and keep stakeholders informed with clarity and precision.
Track record of leading critical initiatives across several teams and shipping high-quality outcomes in large, complex codebases.
Strong systems thinking: understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that understanding to prevent bottlenecks and future scaling issues.
Demonstrated ability to improve engineering effectiveness through better architecture, process, documentation, and mentoring.
Extensive experience shipping modern, full-stack applications (our front-ends are React/Typescript and back-ends are Go).
Product-minded and user-driven, with a bias to action and a focus on getting to the right solution rather than being right.
Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles.

The Role:
We are seeking an experienced Service Desk Manager to lead our IT support function and deliver a high-quality support experience for employees across the organization. This role is responsible for managing day-to-day service desk operations, improving service delivery processes, developing support staff, and ensuring timely resolution of technical issues. This role works closely with IT leadership and cross-functional teams to maintain a reliable, responsive, and user-focused support environment. You should be equally comfortable leading a team, solving escalations, and calmly explaining for the fifteenth time that restarting really fixes a lot of issues.
What You’ll Do
Lead daily IT service desk operations, managing ticket queues, incident trends, escalations, SLAs, and serving as the escalation owner for P1/P2 incidents outside business hours.
Manage, coach, and develop a team of Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts — including hiring, scheduling, performance reviews, career development, and accountability to team KPIs (CSAT, MTTR, first-contact resolution, SLA compliance).
Build and maintain a structured IT knowledge base, championing a shift-left strategy to enable end-user self-service.
Oversee the full end user hardware lifecycle — procurement, deployment, maintenance, and retirement — ensuring all managed devices meet endpoint compliance requirements in partnership with the Security team.
Own joiner/mover/leaver workflows, ensuring timely device provisioning, account setup, and access revocation in coordination with HR and IT.
Own and optimize the ITSM platform configuration, including automation, routing rules, and configuration change management, and establish team guidelines for responsible AI/LLM use.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of IT support or service desk experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory role
Strong understanding of IT service management principles, with hands-on experience in tools such as Jira Service Management, Freshservice, ServiceNow, or Zendesk
Strong knowledge of end-user computing, including hardware support, identity and access management, common SaaS applications, and troubleshooting practices
Demonstrated experience owning SLAs and using metrics to manage performance and improve service quality
Proven track record building or significantly improving a knowledge base, with a focus on self-service and shift-left support
Experience managing or participating in an on-call rotation for high-priority incidents
Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
What Will Set You Apart
ITIL Foundation certification (v3 or v4)
Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python) and familiarity with IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible) and Git-based workflows applied to IT ops
Experience in a high-growth or multi-site environment
Experience with endpoint management platforms (Intune, JAMF, or similar), including Microsoft 365 and Okta
Familiarity with CMMC, SOC 2, or other compliance frameworks that affect IT operations
Hands-on experience using AI or LLM tools (e.g. Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT) to improve personal or team productivity in an IT context
Experience supporting factory or warehouse environments, including ruggedized devices, shared workstations, or OT/industrial equipment, with an understanding of strict change control requirements around production-floor systems
For this role, the target salary range is $150,00 - $205,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Every engineer at Hadrian ships software. The speed and quality of that work depends directly on the tools, pipelines, and workflows underneath it. The Builder Tools team owns that foundation.
As a Software Engineer on the Builder Tools team, you will build and maintain the CI/CD infrastructure, internal tooling, and AI-assisted development workflows that every engineering team at Hadrian depends on. Your users are Hadrian's engineers, and your job is to make them faster. That means owning shared pipeline libraries, reducing friction in the SDLC, making internal systems accessible to AI coding agents, and automating the work that slows teams down.
This is a high-leverage role. The systems you build touch every engineer at Hadrian, and the improvements you ship show up immediately in how fast the company moves.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline libraries that abstract build, release, and deployment events for use across multiple engineering teams
Design and build internal tools, APIs, and CLI utilities that reduce developer friction and automate recurring engineering tasks — dependency upgrades, credential rotation, routine maintenance
Help make Hadrian's internal systems API-ready for AI coding agents; build harness tooling, context systems, and feedback loops that improve the quality of AI-generated contributions in our codebase
Instrument and monitor developer productivity systems; surface bottlenecks and measure the impact of tooling improvements through clear metrics
Partner with application development teams to identify needs, implement CI/CD best practices, and drive adoption of new tooling across the org
Join the on-call rotation to support systems and services during production incidents; contribute to root cause analyses and postmortems
Participate in code reviews and author technical proposals that raise the engineering bar for the Builder Tools team
5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years focused on CI/CD, developer tooling, or build infrastructure
Hands-on experience building and maintaining complex CI/CD pipelines and build infrastructure — pipeline-as-code, artifact management, multi-environment deployments
Strong programming fundamentals in Go, Python, TypeScript, or similar; track record of writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code
Experience with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes or similar)
Solid understanding of source control concepts and practical Git experience
Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems and resolve issues efficiently
A developer empathy mindset: you build tools that are easy to adopt, well-documented, and reduce toil rather than create it
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
Genuine curiosity and hands-on experience with AI coding tools and agents — Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar — and opinions about what makes them work well in a real codebase
Experience building API-ready interfaces or harness tooling for AI coding agents
Prior work on developer experience or engineering productivity programs
Familiarity with GitOps principles and workflows
Experience with static analysis, automated PR pipelines, or code review tooling
Background in fast-paced or scaling startup environments
The Builder Tools team is being built from the ground up, and this is one of the foundational IC roles on it. As the team grows and the function matures, there are opportunities to specialize in AI-assisted developer workflows, CI/CD platform ownership, or SDK/API development — and to grow into a senior IC or tech lead role as the org scales.

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Hadrian's API Platform is how the outside world connects to our manufacturing systems. Every partner integration, every internal service, and every factory floor system that touches that platform depends on one thing being right: identity. Who is allowed in, what they can do, and how credentials are managed across a complex, multi-cloud, physically distributed environment.
As Staff Software Engineer, Identity and Access Management, you will build the security foundation that the API Platform is built on. You will own authentication, authorization, and credential automation across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes workloads, and factory floor systems — and you will work in close partnership with the API Platform PM to ensure that IAM capabilities are surfaced as first-class developer experiences, not bolted-on compliance requirements.
This is not a supporting role. IAM is a product pillar here. You will own the technical layer end to end, set the direction for how it scales, and help define what secure-by-default looks like across everything Hadrian builds.
Design and implement scalable authentication and authorization systems covering both human operators and machine identities across cloud and factory floor environments — serving as the security foundation for the API Platform
Own Hadrian's authentication stack: SSO, MFA, OIDC/SAML integrations, and service-to-service auth across AWS, GCP, and future cloud environments
Build fine-grained access control systems (RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC) that scale across internal engineering teams, factory systems, and external API partners
Develop frameworks, APIs, and CLI tools that automate credential provisioning, rotation, and policy enforcement for both internal teams and external API consumers
Build identity and access models for machine-to-machine communication across factory floor systems, Kubernetes workloads, and cloud services
Partner with Security to ensure IAM systems meet compliance and audit requirements; troubleshoot complex identity and access issues across distributed systems
Work with the API Platform PM to define how IAM capabilities are surfaced as developer-friendly product experiences — for internal engineers and external partners alike
Build tooling, SDKs, and documentation that make it easy to integrate with IAM correctly and hard to do so incorrectly
Set IAM standards across the engineering org and act as the domain expert on access-sensitive architecture decisions
8–12+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years of focused experience in identity, authentication, or authorization systems at scale
Deep, hands-on expertise in modern auth protocols: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, and SCIM
Strong understanding of access control models — RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC — and the ability to make sound architectural tradeoffs between them
Experience designing IAM systems across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Security-first mindset: you understand threat modeling, risk assessment, and least-privilege principles, and you embed security throughout the SDLC
Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar; track record of writing high-quality, maintainable code
Ability to set technical direction independently, write clear design docs, and drive alignment across teams
Comfort working alongside a PM counterpart — you can divide technical and product ownership clearly and collaborate effectively
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
Experience building IAM systems that serve external developer ecosystems — not just internal users
Experience building identity systems for non-human entities: service accounts, workload identity, machine certificates, Kubernetes service accounts
Familiarity with policy-as-code frameworks (OPA, Casbin, or similar)
Experience with zero-trust network architecture
Hands-on experience with secrets management platforms (Vault or equivalent) at scale
Prior experience in aerospace, defense, or manufacturing environments with ITAR or export control considerations
Experience working alongside a PM on a developer-facing platform product
This is a founding role with a clear path upward. As Hadrian's API Platform scales and the IAM function grows in complexity — more factory locations, more partners, more systems — so does the scope of this role. The natural trajectory leads toward technical lead or architect of a broader Security and Identity platform org, with the potential to grow a team around you.
For this role, the target salary range is $192,000-$273,500, plus offers equity.
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

You will install and commission on the floor, not throw drawings over the wall.
This is not a board-level / PCB design role — we are looking for an industrial / machine-build EE who has spent time inside real cells, panels, and control cabinets.
You will partner directly with mechanical, controls, and operations engineers to take cells from clean-sheet concept through volume production, and set the industrial electrical standards the rest of the automation team inherits.
Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1.
Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks.
Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing.
Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell.
Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns.
Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library.
Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause.
Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on + credentials.
3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery.
Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (SolidWorks Electrical considered).
Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives.
Working knowledge of NFPA 79, UL 508A, IEC 60204-1, NFPA 70E, and ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 safety-function design.
Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them.
Comfortable reading scope / clamp-meter traces and debugging drives, ground loops, and power quality.
Licensed PE (Electrical) or on the PE track.
Led an arc-flash study end-to-end in SKM or EasyPower.
Built or maintained a company-wide electrical standards / panel library.
Industrial networks experience at the physical layer — EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, IO-Link.
High-energy / high-current experience (battery, welding, induction, or similar).
Experience supporting a greenfield factory power distribution build-out.
$140,000 – $230,000 (actual range may vary based on experience)

The Role:
As our Employee Experience Programs Manager, you’ll serve as both a culture carrier and a rigorous program operator – the architect of the end-to-end employee experience who owns the programs, rituals, and systems that shape how employees engage with the company across the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding through development, engagement, and retention. You’ll design scalable frameworks that strengthen clarity, connection, belonging, and alignment, ensuring our culture is consistently experienced, not just defined.
This role sits at the intersection of employee engagement, program management, internal communications, and culture-building. You’ll operate across strategy and execution simultaneously: building the operational backbone that makes programs run reliably at scale, while maintaining the creative and human sensibility that makes them land authentically. You’ll thrive here if you are a thoughtful, action-oriented builders who care deeply about people and organizational culture and who believe great companies are intentionally designed through both systems and experiences.
What You’ll Do
Act as our culture carrier, translate company values into tangible programs, rituals, and moments that employees feel day-to-day; champion what makes our culture distinctly ours and protect it as we scale
Design and run a rolling 12-month employee experience programming calendar, ensuring every month has at least one intentional, meaningful moment that reinforces connection, belonging, and company pride
Own end-to-end production of monthly All Hands; from storytelling arc and run-of-show to speaker prep and post-event feedback; ensure every session sends people away more aligned than they arrived
Lead planning and execution of company offsites, team events, and office presence programming - designed experiences employees want to show up for, not mandated ones
Own the swag strategy end-to-end; sourcing, vendors, quality bar, and distribution cadence; new hire kits, milestone gifts, event giveaways, and seasonal moments that feel personal, not transactional
Drive operational excellence across all programs by building the systems, calendars, and workflows that enable consistent delivery at scale; own the EX budget (events, swag, offsite, recognition) and manage it with rigor
Measure what matters; own engagement metrics, run pulse surveys, synthesize findings into clear recommendations, and build a feedback loop that continuously improves what we ship
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of experience in employee experience, people programs, internal communications, or program management in high-growth environments
Proven track record of designing and delivering high-quality, scalable employee programs and experiences - from the whiteboard concept through successful adoption
Strong program and project management fundamentals: you can hold a complex calendar of overlapping initiatives, manage dependencies, flag risks early, and execute with precision
Exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for quality - you care about how things feel as much as how they function
Experience owning company-wide moments such as All Hands, large-scale events, or company offsites
Strong communication and storytelling skills - able to translate strategy into clear, compelling employee-facing experiences and leadership-facing narratives
Ability to build strong relationships and influence stakeholders across all levels without formal authority
You excel in using data, feedback, and engagement metrics to inform decisions and improve programs
Resourceful, adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguity within a fast-paced, scaling environment
What Will Set You Apart
Experience building or scaling an employee experience or culture function from the ground up in a high-growth company
Background in operationally complex environments - manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or similarly mission-driven organizations
Experience designing onboarding programs, recognition frameworks, or company-wide engagement strategies that measurably moved the needle
Strong eye for brand, design, and employee-facing physical experiences - you know what great swag, great events, and great environments look and feel like
Experience managing vendors, events production, or logistics at scale (500+ person events)
Familiarity with employee engagement tools, survey platforms (e.g., Lattice, Culture Amp), or HRIS systems
Certifications or training in program management (PMP, PMI-ACP) or organizational development
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is 130,000 - 180,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k

Design overhead material movement where floor conveyance or AMRs are the wrong tool: bridge cranes, gantries, hoists, lift assists, below-the-hook tooling, safe zones, and operator workflow.
Own traffic and lift-zone management: intersections, charging zones, docking, crane envelopes, mixed human / robot aisles, pedestrian crossings, suspended-load boundaries, and safety zones.
Integrate AMRs, conveyance, and overhead movement with MES / WMS, PLCs, cell controllers, and crane controls via VDA 5050, OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, and discrete / safety-rated handshakes where appropriate.
Simulate (AnyLogic / FlexSim / Emulate3D / Plant Simulation) to validate throughput, WIP, aisle layout, charging locations, crane coverage, lift zones, and safety constraints before buying hardware.
Partner with cell-level MEs on pickup / dropoff / lift interfaces: dunnage, presentation, hard stops, rigging points, sensors, clearances, and recovery after failed transfers.
Build the material-flow standards and runbook every future factory inherits.
Bachelor's in ME, EE, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or related.
3+ years deploying AMRs / AGVs, conveyance, overhead material-handling equipment, or hybrid material-flow systems in a production environment.
Has personally commissioned at least one fleet (MiR, OTTO, Fetch, Zebra, Geek+, 6 River), one full conveyance run (Hytrol, Dematic, Intralox, Daifuku), crane / gantry / hoist cell interface, or similar production material-flow system.
Working knowledge of VDA 5050, OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, PLC handshakes, and MES / WMS integration.
Safety fluency for mixed pedestrian / robot aisles, lift zones, suspended loads, and operator recovery workflows.
Simulation reps (AnyLogic / FlexSim / Emulate3D / Siemens Plant Simulation) or equivalent layout / throughput modeling.

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.
Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.
Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.
For this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

The Role:
In this role you'll define the technical direction for the infrastructure platform powering automated manufacturing across multiple factory sites. You'll shape the architecture spanning cloud, edge, and factory-floor systems, setting the standards, patterns, and engineering culture that the entire organization builds on. You'll move fluidly between strategy and implementation: one day driving a multi-cluster Kubernetes architecture decision, the next pairing on a Terraform module that makes it real. This role demands someone who has simplified complex systems at org scale, built platforms that engineers love to use, and grown the people around them. Not just shipped impressive infrastructure, but made everyone else's infrastructure better too.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform/OpenTofu
Build and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS in cloud, K0s/K3s at the edge)
Build CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
Develop reusable infrastructure patterns: Terraform modules, Helm charts, CUE schemas
Architect networking between sites, edge devices, and cloud
Implement monitoring and observability with Prometheus/Grafana and Datadog
Support edge computing and IoT device deployments on factory floors
Drive build-vs-buy decisions and technology evaluations
Establish engineering standards and best practices
Represent infrastructure in cross-functional architecture reviews
Make architecture decisions under ambiguity and document them as ADRs
Identify systemic operational gaps and drive automation that eliminates recurring toil
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response
Write clear documentation and runbooks
What We’re Looking For
10-15+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering
Expert-level infrastructure design across cloud, containers, and networking
Can go from architecture whiteboard to production implementation, and has done it repeatedly
Deep Terraform/IaC skills with module development and testing experience
Production Kubernetes experience including troubleshooting, scaling, and multi-cluster patterns
Strong security instincts: threat modeling, least privilege, compliance fundamentals
Track record of building reusable patterns that other engineers adopt
History of reducing complexity, not just adding capability
Strong documentation and communication skills
Comfortable mentoring teammates and sharing knowledge
What Will Set You Apart
Experience defining infrastructure strategy and technical direction for an engineering org
Track record of driving platform adoption across multiple teams without direct authority
Background operating at scale: multi-site deployments, 20+ consuming teams, or similarly demanding environments
History of mentoring senior engineers into technical leaders
Deep experience with architecture trade-offs in hybrid cloud/edge environments
Demonstrated ability to simplify systems and retire tools that no longer serve the org
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $250,000 - $320,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future.

The Role:
In this role you'll define the technical direction for the infrastructure platform powering automated manufacturing across multiple factory sites. You'll shape the architecture spanning cloud, edge, and factory-floor systems, setting the standards, patterns, and engineering culture that the entire organization builds on. You'll move fluidly between strategy and implementation: one day driving a multi-cluster Kubernetes architecture decision, the next pairing on a Terraform module that makes it real. This role demands someone who has simplified complex systems at org scale, built platforms that engineers love to use, and grown the people around them. Not just shipped impressive infrastructure, but made everyone else's infrastructure better too.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform/OpenTofu
Build and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS in cloud, K0s/K3s at the edge)
Build CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
Develop reusable infrastructure patterns: Terraform modules, Helm charts, CUE schemas
Architect networking between sites, edge devices, and cloud
Implement monitoring and observability with Prometheus/Grafana and Datadog
Support edge computing and IoT device deployments on factory floors
Drive build-vs-buy decisions and technology evaluations
Establish engineering standards and best practices
Represent infrastructure in cross-functional architecture reviews
Make architecture decisions under ambiguity and document them as ADRs
Identify systemic operational gaps and drive automation that eliminates recurring toil
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response
Write clear documentation and runbooks
What We’re Looking For
8+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering
Demonstrated ability in infrastructure design across cloud, containers, and networking
Can go from architecture whiteboard to production implementation, and has done it repeatedly
Deep Terraform/IaC skills with module development and testing experience
Production Kubernetes experience including troubleshooting, scaling, and multi-cluster patterns
Strong security instincts: threat modeling, least privilege, compliance fundamentals
Track record of building reusable patterns that other engineers adopt
History of reducing complexity, not just adding capability
Strong documentation and communication skills
Comfortable mentoring teammates and sharing knowledge
What Will Set You Apart
Deep hands-on experience with Terraform module architecture and testing
Background building CI/CD platforms, not just pipelines
Experience with edge or IoT infrastructure in manufacturing, defense, or robotics
Track record of reducing infrastructure complexity, not just adding to it
History of building patterns that other teams adopted organically
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $200,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
Flexible vacation policy
