By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Hadrian's factories run on tight IT. If a laptop, login, or line-side device is down, work stops. As an IT Systems Administrator, you own the platforms and services that hold the factory together. You design, deploy, and harden the systems the shop floor and the rest of IT run on every day. This is a factory-focused role. You will help spin up new factory sections, partner with factory and platform teams to deploy Kubernetes nodes and line-side services, and jump in fast when something goes down. You will also build the AI tooling and internal tools that make the service desk faster and free up the team from doing the same thing twice.
What You'll Do
Spin up new factory sections from an IT perspective. Rack gear, cable, image endpoints, provision identity and access, and hand over clean documentation to the site team.
Partner with factory, platform, and infra teams to deploy Kubernetes nodes and line-side services.
Own the IT side of the rollout: networking, identity, endpoint config, and monitoring.
Troubleshoot when services go down. Own the first hard triage on the IT side, work incidents in real time with platform and networking teams, and lead the follow-up so the same fire does not start twice.
Build AI tooling and internal tools for the service desk. Wire chatbot skills into our real systems, build agent assist, and script the boring parts so Techs and Analysts move faster.
Own our core platforms end to end: Okta, Microsoft 365, Box, Jira, MDM, and the tools that plug into them.
Design and build identity, access, and lifecycle flows. Set up SSO, SCIM, groups, and least-privilege patterns that scale with the factory footprint.
Automate the boring stuff. Write scripts and integrations that cut manual work for Technicians and Analysts.
Partner with Security, Infrastructure, and DevOps on hardening, logging, and compliance across the factory IT stack.
Mentor Technicians and Analysts. Review their tickets, share patterns, and help them grow.
Own the runbooks, architecture notes, and change records for the systems you run.
What We're Looking For
5 or more years in IT, with at least 2 in a systems admin, IT engineer, or platform role.
Hands-on experience supporting or building services in a factory, warehouse, lab, or other on-site production environment.
Working knowledge of Kubernetes. You have deployed, upgraded, or troubleshot nodes and workloads, even if a platform team owns the cluster.
Strong outage instincts. You can read logs, follow a service from endpoint to backend, and stay calm while people are watching.
Deep hands-on experience with Okta or another SSO, Microsoft 365, and MDM. You have driven a rollout, not just clicked around in the console.
Strong scripting and API skills (Python, PowerShell, JavaScript, or similar). You can read docs, wire up two systems, and leave notes the next person can follow.
Experience building tools or automations that make a service desk faster. AI chatbot skills, agent assist, ticket deflection, or internal admin tools all count.
Solid grasp of identity, access, and endpoint security patterns.
Comfort across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Clear writer. Your Jira updates, runbooks, and design docs are easy to follow.
Calm and steady when things break at 6 a.m. or on a Saturday.
Able to work on-site at our Mesa, AZ factory.
Able to lift up to 50 lbs and move hardware around the factory floor as needed.
What Will Set You Apart
Degree or coursework in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
Prior software engineering work, even at a small scale. You can build the tool, not just spec it.
Experience with Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or another infra-as-code tool for SaaS, endpoints, or Kubernetes.
Networking depth: VLANs, firewalls, VPN, or Wi-Fi in a factory or campus setting.
Familiarity with observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, or Datadog.
Experience with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, or CMMC.
Time spent in a manufacturing or hard-tech environment.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $100,000 - $149,000 (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

As Hadrian grows, we are opening new training areas, standing up new training teams, piloting new training programs and planning the training facilities for the factories we have yet to open. The Workforce Training Coordinator helps build all of that. You will work alongside the people designing our training to turn a new program, team or space into something that runs: planning what each needs, lining up the people, equipment and materials, and having it ready when training begins.
For now, this is a building role. You will coordinate in-person pilot programs at our Los Angeles facility, support new training teams as they stand up, and plan training spaces with the teams designing our upcoming factories. As those programs and sites ramp, the role will grow into maintaining the scheduling, logistics and day-to-day execution that keep training running.
You will coordinate in-person pilot programs in Los Angeles, bringing together participants, trainers, space, equipment and materials, and capturing what each pilot needs so it can run again at scale. You will support new training teams as they stand up, making sure they have the spaces, materials, schedules and access they need to deliver their programs from the first day. You will plan the training facilities for upcoming factories with our facility and workplace teams, defining what each training space needs and tracking it through to readiness before the first cohort arrives. Along the way, you will build the schedules, trackers and checklists that the programs will run on, keep training records accurate, and flag risks early. As programs and sites ramp, you will take on the ongoing scheduling and logistics that keep training running across our sites.
2+ years in a coordination, project coordination, logistics or operations support role.
Experience helping launch something new, such as a program, team, space or site, and getting it ready on time.
Experience managing schedules and resources for multiple people or projects at once.

This is a full-stack role—spanning application code, cloud, Kubernetes, identity management, and cutting-edge operational technology on the factory floor. You’ll work with innovative systems, some being developed here for the first time, including manufacturing and OT environments that few security engineers have encountered.
Join us as a founding member of a rapidly growing security team. Instead of inheriting legacy choices, you’ll establish the standards, best practices, and tools that will scale our security from the ground up. You’ll tackle challenges end-to-end—learning unfamiliar systems and designing solutions that make secure practices the default. If you’re curious, thrive in ambiguity, and want to chart new territory, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact.
What You’ll Do
Own security end-to-end across the whole stack — application code, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes workloads, identity and authorization, and the factory-floor and operational-technology systems that produce real parts.
Scale security through automation. Build the agentic tooling and automation loops — AI-driven checks, paved-road patterns, self-enforcing guardrails — that let coverage grow with what you build rather than with headcount.
Dig into unfamiliar systems — new tech we're adopting and manufacturing systems few people understand — map how they actually work, identify where the real risk lies, and design controls that fit the way Hadrian builds.
Turn compliance into engineering. Build the practical foundations for CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171 and the ITAR boundary as controls that hold up under audit — not paperwork beside the system.
Respond when it matters. Investigate, contain, and drive incidents to resolution, then turn each one into a systemic fix and a better default.
What We’re Looking For
Ship the fix, not just the finding. You write code (Go, Python, or similar) and solve problems by building the guardrails and tooling — SDKs, CLIs, CI/CD checks, and patterns — that make it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong one, rather than filing a ticket for someone else.
4+ years in security engineering, software engineering, or infrastructure/platform engineering, with real hands-on security ownership somewhere in there.
Fluency with agentic systems. Familiarity with agentic loops and task delegation — building with or on LLM agents and automation
You move fast and learn faster. You take an under-specified mission, decide where to start, make sound calls under uncertainty, and ramp on something unfamiliar quickly
You weigh risk against innovation — and say so. You make the risk-aversion versus innovation trade-off explicit on real decisions, so the business chooses deliberately rather than defaulting to \"no.\"
A track record of deleting controls or process — retiring the checks that shouldn't exist and proving the automated replacement held.
Genuine breadth and curiosity. You move between application security, cloud and Kubernetes security, identity/authorization, and networking — and you actively want to understand how a new layer works, down to the details.
What Will Set You Apart
GCC High administration or migration experience
Security experience in manufacturing or OT environments
Familiarity with ITAR/EAR and CUI marking and handling requirements
Ability to mentor and grow a team. As security scales here, you can set technical direction and level up the engineers who join around you.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
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 Analyst 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.
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
Equity
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, 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.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
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
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.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $173,000 - $321,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
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.

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.\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n - 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\n\n - Own Hadrian's authentication stack: SSO, MFA, OIDC/SAML integrations, and service-to-service auth across AWS, GCP, and future cloud environments\n\n - Build fine-grained access control systems (RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC) that scale across internal engineering teams, factory systems, and external API partners\n\n - Develop frameworks, APIs, and CLI tools that automate credential provisioning, rotation, and policy enforcement for both internal teams and external API consumers\n\n - Build identity and access models for machine-to-machine communication across factory floor systems, Kubernetes workloads, and cloud services\n\n - Partner with Security to ensure IAM systems meet compliance and audit requirements; troubleshoot complex identity and access issues across distributed systems\n\n - 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\n\n - Build tooling, SDKs, and documentation that make it easy to integrate with IAM correctly and hard to do so incorrectly\n\n - Set IAM standards across the engineering org and act as the domain expert on access-sensitive architecture decisions\n \n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - 8–12+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years of focused experience in identity, authentication, or authorization systems at scale\n\n - Deep, hands-on expertise in modern auth protocols: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, and SCIM\n\n - Strong understanding of access control models — RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC — and the ability to make sound architectural tradeoffs between them\n\n - Experience designing IAM systems across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)\n\n - Security-first mindset: you understand threat modeling, risk assessment, and least-privilege principles, and you embed security throughout the SDLC\n\n - Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar; track record of writing high-quality, maintainable code\n\n - Ability to set technical direction independently, write clear design docs, and drive alignment across teams\n\n - Comfort working alongside a PM counterpart — you can divide technical and product ownership clearly and collaborate effectively\n\n - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience\n \n\n\nWHAT WILL SET YOU APART\n\n - Experience building IAM systems that serve external developer ecosystems — not just internal users\n\n - Experience building identity systems for non-human entities: service accounts, workload identity, machine certificates, Kubernetes service accounts\n\n - Familiarity with policy-as-code frameworks (OPA, Casbin, or similar)\n\n - Experience with zero-trust network architecture\n\n - Hands-on experience with secrets management platforms (Vault or equivalent) at scale\n\n - Prior experience in aerospace, defense, or manufacturing environments with ITAR or export control considerations\n\n - Experience working alongside a PM on a developer-facing platform product\n \n\n\nGROWTH & TRAJECTORY\n\nThis 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.\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $192,000-$273,500, plus offers equity.\n\nThis 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.\n\n\nBENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES\n\n - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees \n 401k \n\n - Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need. \n\n - Flexible vacation policy \n\n - Equity\n\n \n\n\nITAR REQUIREMENTS\n\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, 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.

Troubleshoot and optimize electrical systems, motor circuits, and power delivery in operational equipment
Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (electro-mechanical preferred) or equivalent experience
5-10+ years designing and deploying automated industrial equipment
Proficiency programming on different industrial control platforms (Beckhoff TwinCAT and/or Siemens S7 preferred)
Direct exposure to industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, PROFINET, OPC-UA, ADS, etc.)
Working knowledge of automated equipment safety systems and protocols (TwinSAFE, SIMATIC Safety, FSoE, PROFIsafe, etc.)
Hands-on experience with industrial robot programming and control (Fanuc, ABB, or KUKA)
Demonstrated ability in industrial motion control (servo tuning, VFD configuration, axis coordination)
Ability to design and troubleshoot electrical systems for equipment (24VDC through 480VAC)
Strong collaborative skills working effectively with mechanical, software, manufacturing engineers, and build technicians
A forward-looking, object oriented approach to industrial software development
Modern software revision control & CI/CD practices (Git, Copia, Jenkins, etc.)
Experience with relational and time-series databases (Postgres, MySQL, etc.)
Ability to program in a variety of modern software languages (Python, JS, Rust, C#, etc.)
Exposure to machine vision systems for robotic guidance, metrology, or quality inspection
Deep understanding of various core manufacturing technologies (pneumatics, hydraulics, welding, machining, assembly, etc.)
A taste for fast-paced environments, aggressive goals, and bringing fresh ideas to attack unique manufacturing challenges

The Role
The Construction Project Manager leads the strategic effort to launch new manufacturing facilities at Hadrian, driving construction execution with the rigor and ownership mindset of an engineering leader: systematic, schedule-focused, and driving outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of construction management and factory development, ensuring what gets built matches what production actually needs. This role also acts as the main point of communication between external architects/general contractor groups and internal Hadrian engineering groups. It requires a dynamic leader who is constantly finding ways to make forward progress through uncertainty and take calculated risks. Ultimately, this role partners closely with engineering to intake requirements and translate them into a built reality, on schedule and on budget.
What You'll Do
Facility Launch Leadership: Own the end-to-end launch of new manufacturing facilities, from early planning through turnover. Set the strategy, intake requirements, sequence the work, and keep the project moving toward production readiness.
Field Execution & Contractor Oversight: Serve as the day-to-day Owner's Representative on active construction sites. Translate Hadrian requirements to executable facility designs. Hold General Contractors and subcontractors accountable to schedule, quality, and sequencing. Identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
Schedule & Problem Solving: Own construction scheduling - managing the critical path and any blockers. Apply first-principles thinking to recover lost time and protect delivery milestones. The way Hadrian launches factories is phased – we introduce the 1st phase of production while construction is still active in other areas. So a dynamic, production-first schedule needs constant attention and realignment.
Requirements Partnership: Intake facility requirements from engineering, often driven by production equipment selection and operational flow. Drive engineering requirements or provide clear signal when they are blocking progress or pushing schedule. Push back on requirements that are driving unnecessary cost, complexity, or time to the construction project.
Change Management & Documentation: Manage RFIs, submittals, pay applications, and change orders. Proficient in Procore for change order and drawing management, and familiar with Bluebeam for markups and document control. We have a separate team that will maintain a digital twin / CAD layout of the factory – work closely with them to make sure we are always building to the latest & greatest facility design revision.
Design Feedback: Participate in design reviews for current and future phases. Translate field conditions into constructability and sequencing feedback before they become costly problems.
Commissioning & Turnover: Sequence inspections, testing, and commissioning to avoid downstream delays. Support documentation and turnover packages for regulated manufacturing environments.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, or relevant STEM field, or 8+ years of hands-on field experience in lieu of degree.
3+ years in construction management, capital project execution, manufacturing facilities development, or equivalent project management experience.
Experience launching or standing up new manufacturing or production facilities, ideally in environments with engineering and production complexity similar to Hadrian.
Direct field ownership of projects with GC or subcontractor oversight.
Proficiency in Procore or equivalent.
Willingness to travel up to 50%.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience in high-quality-regulated or high-consequence industries (nuclear, energy, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing).
Background bridging construction execution and manufacturing operations, especially launching production facilities from the ground up.
Familiarity with Lean construction or pull planning methodologies.
Exposure to design-for-construction or design-for-operations efforts.
Experience working on expedited timelines or fast paced industries.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $106,000 - $181,000 (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.

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 $175,000 - $285,000 (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.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world. As we win new programs and stand up new factories, the workforce question gets decided early, usually before a contract is signed and almost always before anyone has validated whether the labor assumptions hold. Getting that wrong means delayed milestones, unmet contractual obligations, and a workforce that cannot ramp to meet production. Getting it right is a prerequisite for every program we take on.
We are looking for a Workforce Programs Manager to own the scoping of workforce for new Hadrian programs end to end. This is the person who sits with the sales and federal teams while a deal is still being shaped, reads the statement of work, and translates it into a labor model, a headcount plan, a training strategy, and a clear build-versus-partner decision. It is a new function. You are the first hire in it, and it is tied directly to our program and factory expansion roadmap.
You will build the labor models that tell us what a program actually costs in people. You will design the training strategy for capabilities we have never run before, including regulated programs like NAVSEA-compliant welder workmanship and new NDT certification tracks. You will own the framework for what Hadrian builds internally versus what we source through partners, and you will manage the institutional partnerships that follow from that decision. You will be the forward-looking input to the Workforce Development organization, working with the team on what is coming so they can scale ahead of demand instead of reacting to it.
The right person has been in the room where program commitments are made and understands what those commitments mean for the workforce before anyone else does. They are equally comfortable in a business development review with a prime contractor, building a headcount model in a spreadsheet, and walking a community college president through what a partnership would require. They default to building capability internally and treat partnerships as a deliberate tool, not a first response.
What You'll Do
Program Workforce Scoping
Embed with the sales and federal teams during program pursuit to scope workforce requirements before commitments are finalized
Read and interpret statements of work, contract terms, and program milestones, and translate them into executable workforce plans
Identify the labor, training, and certification obligations a program creates, and surface the risks and gaps while there is still time to address them
Labor Modeling and Headcount Planning
Build labor models and headcount plans for new programs and capability expansions, covering Factory Technician, Weld Technician, and NDT Technician roles as well as the indirect and support headcount programs require
Validate that labor assumptions in deal and operational models are internally consistent and flow through to real headcount outputs
Own the workforce-cost view of a program and defend it to finance, operations, and program leadership
Training Strategy for New Capabilities
Design the training and certification strategy for capabilities Hadrian has not run before, including regulated programs such as NAVSEA welder workmanship and new NDT method tracks
Map external certification and audit requirements into the training plan so compliance is built in from the start
Define cohort timing, trainer ratios, and lead times from hire to certified, working backward from program readiness dates
Build-versus-Partner Strategy and Partnerships
Own the framework for determining whether a workforce need is best met by building internally or sourcing through an external partner, with a default toward insourcing
Manage the portfolio of institutional partnerships that follow from that decision, including community colleges, trade schools, universities, veteran programs, and high school pathways
Represent Hadrian in partner negotiations, MOU development, and ongoing relationship management, and hold partners to defined quality and output standards
Treat partnerships as foundational pre-employment pipeline tools, not a substitute for building Hadrian's own capability
Workforce Org Readiness
Work closely with the Director of Workforce Development to ensure the Workforce organization is staffed and structured to scale with the program portfolio
Provide the forward-looking inputs the WFD org needs to hire, build curriculum, and stand up training operations ahead of program demand
Maintain visibility for internal stakeholders into the workforce pipeline across all active and pursued programs
What We're Looking For
7+ years in workforce planning, labor modeling, program management, or business development, with demonstrated experience translating program or contract requirements into operational workforce plans
Background in or strong familiarity with manufacturing, defense, or government contracting environments
Track record of building headcount or labor models for new programs or capability expansions, where the output was an executable plan rather than a strategy document
Experience in customer-facing or federal program work, including interpreting a government SOW and presenting a workforce plan to a customer
A business and commercial mindset: you understand what Hadrian is signing up for when a deal closes, and you can quantify it
Strong cross-functional communication, with the ability to represent workforce realities to program and factory leadership and translate them back to institutional partners
Comfort operating where the playbook is still being written
Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Workforce Development, Public Policy, or a related field; advanced degree a plus; equivalent experience considered
What Will Set You Apart
Defense business development or proposal development experience with a workforce or labor component
Familiarity with NAVSEA, SUBSAFE, or similar regulated certification and audit frameworks
Experience standing up training programs in regulated manufacturing environments
Background in advanced or precision manufacturing
Experience with workforce development grants, government funding programs, or public-private partnerships
Familiarity with community college systems and dual-enrollment or early college program design
A genuine point of view on what manufacturing workforce development should look like for the next generation, grounded in what programs actually require rather than how it has always been done
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Define and maintain program planning artifacts: WBS, integrated master schedules (IMS), risk registers, and EVM reporting.
Lead process qualification efforts — owning parameter development cycles, establishing production baselines, and ensuring traceability from process inputs to qualified output standards.
Drive automation and subsystem integration across the AM production cell: laser and scanner systems, powder and gas handling, recoater and z-stage, thermal management, safety interlocks, and control systems connectivity.
Establish and continuously improve machine monitoring and reliability programs
Serve as the primary technical and programmatic interface for aerospace and defense customers and partners — leading program status briefings and reviews with clear, decision-ready communication.
Serve as the connective tissue across sales, supply chain, and engineering: systems, materials & process, applications, software, and quality — identifying and resolving execution risks early to maintain program health and delivery commitments.
Manage CapEx budget for AM facility buildouts and coordinate with contractors and internal stakeholders. Advocate for strategic investments in AM equipment, facility requirements, process automation, and infrastructure.
Partner with sales on program shaping, proposal development, BOE generation, and DFARS/ITAR-compliant delivery frameworks.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS:
5+ years of experience in technical program management within aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing environments — with a track record of delivering hardware-intensive programs on time.
Direct, hands-on experience with metal additive manufacturing: process development, equipment qualification, or production industrialization.
Proven ability to take complex manufacturing systems from development through production-grade reliability — not just track the people doing it.
Strong cross-functional coordination skills across engineering, operations, supply chain, and software in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments.
Ability to communicate program status, risks, and decisions crisply to both senior technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
Familiarity with NIAR qualification frameworks or experience guiding AM programs through third-party process certification and audit readiness.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
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.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
What You’ll Do
Focus on building scalable, automated solutions that ensure seamless deployments, security configurations, and efficient operational workflows for our end-users.
Own, administer, and optimize MDM platforms (Fleet DM, Intune, Workspace ONE) to enforce configuration and drive self-healing by writing OS-level scripts and lightweight tools that resolve recurring user-impacting issues (disk pressure, certificate expiry, drift, broken agents) at the source instead of via tickets.
Proactive Response. We want to gather telemetry data and analytics to develop an understanding of device lifecycles. We want to prevent end-user disruption by understanding when and how to act.
Partner with Security, IT, and Infrastructure to translate compliance requirements (CMMC) into enforceable, code-managed baselines.
Build dashboards and alerts that measure end-user experience as an SLO, not a helpdesk metric.
What We’re Looking For
Ownership. You treat the fleet as a product, take incidents personally, and close the loop with automation rather than a runbook. Strong scripting in Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
Scalability. Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management: Ansible and Terraform (or equivalents like Chef, Salt, Puppet, Pulumi).
Device Management. Working knowledge of at least one major MDM (Fleet DM, Intune, Jamf, Workspace ONE) and its API surface.
Security Remediation. Practical experience with patch management, vulnerability remediation, and endpoint hardening on both macOS and Windows.
What Will Set You Apart
Strong computer science fundamentals. You can reason about systems from the operating system up, demonstrating durable and sustainable solutions.
Experience building self-healing or auto-remediation platforms (remote actions, osquery + response, custom agents). Exposure to OT (Operational Technology) systems.
Comfort operating in an SRE culture: SLOs, error budgets, and blameless postmortems applied to the end-user experience.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $175,000 - $285,000 (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.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Forward Deployed Engineers embed on enterprise customer programs and do whatever it takes to make them succeed.
Sometimes that means providing connective tissue: configuring and integrating Opus, Hadrian's software and robotics platform, for the specific needs of a program. Just as often it means building new products at the edge, including ones the customer didn't know to ask for. You'll drive the full loop from discovery to deployment, with no layers between you and the customer.
The best of what you build won't stay bespoke. The products you create at the edge often become part of Opus, which makes this one of the sharpest sources of new product discovery at Hadrian.
This is not a customer success or deployment-support role — you'll spend most of your time building. The team is early and the people who join now will define what it becomes.
What You’ll Do
Work a program end to end — from the first ambiguous conversation through discovery, build, deployment, and iteration. You stay on it from the messy start to running in production.
Communicate across the full stakeholder range — customer leadership, program managers, and the operators and engineers on both their team and Hadrian's — translating technical constraints into decisions non-technical stakeholders can act on.
Partner with the teams building Opus to go deep where a program needs it — architecting the integrations, data models, and configuration that let the platform run against a customer's real systems and production reality.
Build net-new software to make programs succeed — standalone applications, custom workflows, and integrations that solve problems Opus doesn't yet cover. Some stays bespoke to one program; some becomes part of the platform.
Ship fast and iterate. Get something working into users' hands early rather than perfecting in isolation.
Turn field learnings into platform direction. Feed concrete requirements back to the Opus teams and help decide when a one-off solution should graduate into the platform.
What We’re Looking For
Strong builder with high ownership — comfortable going 0 to 1 and shipping in ambiguous environments where no one hands you the spec.
AI-native, and relentless about it. We're looking for ridiculously high-pace, high-agency engineers who use AI to compress everything — discovery, prototyping, execution. You can show us concretely how AI already makes you multiples faster, and you're hungry to push it further.
Comfortable across the whole stack — everything from UI/UX work to designing backend systems, reaching for whatever technology best fits the problem rather than defaulting to what you know.
Strong product instincts. You think about what to build, not just how to build it.
Experience working directly with customers or end users, translating ambiguous needs into concrete, shipped solutions.
Communication range. You can engage operators and program managers on the factory floor and senior program stakeholders in the same week, and translate complex technical constraints into terms that drive non-technical decisions.
Driven by the mission and the tempo. You get energized by the impact you're having on the programs you work on, and you care deeply about delivering at the pace our customers need.
What Will Set You Apart
Founder or founding-engineer experience — you've taken a new product zero to one.
Prior forward-deployed, solutions engineering, or technical consulting experience — you've built directly against messy customer reality before.
Domain background in aerospace, defense, or manufacturing — or anywhere hardware and software have to meet.
A visible body of work — a strong GitHub presence or a portfolio of projects you've shipped outside of work.
Logistics
This role is based out of our Los Angeles (Torrance) or San Francisco Bay Area office. You'll periodically travel to spend time on-site with customers and operators — enough to understand their reality firsthand — but this is not a travel-heavy or long-deployment role.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $223,000 - $359,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Role Summary
Hadrian is looking for a Manager, Build Engineering to lead the team that takes new products from zero to one on a dedicated customer program. You will own new product introduction end-to-end — from first article through qualification, ramp, and transition into standard production — and be accountable for the build outcomes of every engineer on your team.
This role sits at the center of the factory's cross-functional web. A new product doesn't reach one without Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Software, Materials & Processes, and Test all pulling in the same direction, and it's on you to keep those dependencies from becoming your engineers' problem to solve build by build. You will own the relationship expectations between your program's Build Engineers and every function that supports them, resolving constraints before they hit the floor.
This is a working manager role. You will build, coach, and level up a team of Build Engineers while staying close enough to the floor to make a real-time technical call or step in yourself during a high-priority build.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and grow a team of Build Engineers dedicated to a specific customer or program.
Own program-level new product introduction (NPI) outcomes, from first article through stabilized production.
Tie together the work of individual Build Engineers into one coherent execution plan — setting sequencing, prioritization, and risk mitigation across the program.
Partner across Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Production/Manufacturing Engineering, Software, Materials & Processes, and Test to unblock constraints before they impact the build.
Serve as the primary escalation point for build issues within the program, resolving problems related to drawings, tolerances, tooling, materials, and process flow in real time.
Coach, develop, and level up Build Engineers on the team; own staffing and leveling decisions.
Represent the program in cross-functional planning, reviews, and leadership updates.
Assess build and manufacturability risk at the program level and drive mitigation plans to protect schedule and quality.
Drive lessons learned across builds and transition stabilized processes into standard production.
Support engineering changes by evaluating program-level execution impact and aligning the team accordingly.
Required Qualifications
6–10+ years of experience in build, production, or manufacturing engineering, including hands-on experience with new product introduction (NPI) or zero-to-one manufacturing efforts.
2+ years of experience leading or managing a team of engineers in a manufacturing environment, or a demonstrated track record of informal technical leadership.
Demonstrated success coordinating across engineering, supply chain, software, and production functions to deliver complex or first-of-kind builds.
Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, BOMs, and process requirements.
Comfort operating hands-on on the factory floor as well as managing and prioritizing at the program level.
Ability to make sound decisions under schedule pressure with incomplete or evolving information.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to align technicians, engineers, and leadership around a single execution plan.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience owning a product or program from concept/prototype through production ramp at a high-growth manufacturing or hardware company.
Background in precision manufacturing, machining, assembly, or inspection within aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical industries.
Exposure to test engineering, materials & processes, or capability engineering functions.
Experience managing a team through frequent design or priority changes.
Familiarity with ERP/MES/PLM systems and digital work instruction tools.
Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement experience.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

Role Summary
Hadrian is looking for a Manager, Build Engineering – Commodities to lead the team that owns how our commodity parts get made across machining, tube and pipe, and sheet metal. You will own new product introduction for these commodities end-to-end, from first article through qualification, ramp, and transition into standard production, and you will be accountable for the build outcomes of every engineer on your team.
Commodity parts feed nearly every product we build, so your team's work shows up across the whole business. Your team owns new product and new process introduction for these parts end-to-end. That means setting how they flow through the factory, defining the processes they need, and working across Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Tooling, Quality, and Test to bring them to rate. You will set one standard for how build plans, process definitions, and work instructions are written across all three commodities. Decisions made during NPI set the cost, lead time, and quality of these parts for their life, and the processes your team introduces become capabilities Hadrian uses on the programs that follow.
This is a working manager role, and the team is being built now. You will hire, coach, and level up Build Engineers across three disciplines while commodity cells come online. You will prove out processes and first articles at an existing factory before transferring them into our new factory in Cherokee, Alabama, and you will stay close enough to the floor to make a real-time technical call or step in yourself during a high-priority build.
Key Responsibilities
Build and lead a team of Build Engineers across machining, tube and pipe, and sheet metal, and own hiring, staffing, and leveling decisions for the team.
Own commodity-level new product introduction (NPI) outcomes, from requirements definition and subscale development through first article and stabilized production, for every part your team supports.
Make sure your team interprets and defines product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contracts before build plans are set.
Set a common standard for product requirements definition, build plans, high-level process definitions, BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions across all three commodities, and for how they are managed in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems.
Tie the work of individual Build Engineers into one coherent execution plan, setting sequencing, prioritization, and risk mitigation across commodities and the product programs they serve.
Make sure Capability Engineering receives complete, stable process definitions early enough to select equipment that meets rate and quality requirements.
Own make/buy recommendations across commodities, balancing in-house cell capacity against supplier capability with Supply Chain and Quality.
Drive shared development work across the team, such as subscale development articles, weld joint qualification (PQR/WPS), fixturing, and datum strategy, so each commodity doesn't solve the same problem separately.
Partner with Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Tooling Engineering, Quality, and Test to unblock constraints before they impact the build.
Serve as the primary escalation point for commodity build issues, resolving problems with drawings, tolerances, tooling, materials, and process flow in real time.
Lead the transfer of qualified processes and first article builds from development into new production cells, keeping ownership explicit at each handoff.
Represent the commodities team in program reviews, cross-functional planning, and leadership updates.
Drive lessons learned across builds and transition stabilized processes into standard production.
Required Qualifications
6–10+ years of experience in build, production, or manufacturing engineering, including hands-on experience with new product introduction (NPI) or zero-to-one manufacturing efforts.
2+ years of experience leading or managing a team of engineers in a manufacturing environment, or a demonstrated track record of informal technical leadership.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Hands-on depth in at least one of machining, tube and pipe, or sheet metal fabrication, and working knowledge of the other two.
Strong ability to interpret and define product requirements from customer specifications, engineering drawings, GD&T, and contract requirements.
Experience structuring BOMs, work orders, and work instructions in PLM, ERP, or MES systems, including engineering change and configuration management.
Demonstrated success coordinating across engineering, supply chain, quality, and production functions to deliver complex or first-of-kind builds.
Ability to make sound decisions under schedule pressure with incomplete or evolving information.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to align technicians, engineers, and leadership around a single execution plan.
Able to work on-site at our factory and travel regularly to our Cherokee, AL factory, up to 25% of the time.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience owning a product or program from concept/prototype through production ramp at a high-growth manufacturing or hardware company.
Background in precision manufacturing, machining, assembly, or inspection within aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical industries.
Exposure to test engineering, materials & processes, or capability engineering functions.
Experience managing a team through frequent design or priority changes.
Familiarity with ERP/MES/PLM systems and digital work instruction tools.
Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement experience.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Global Product drives manufacturing capability and platform development across Hadrian. We work externally with customers and internally with leads across Hadrian's programs, platforms, and capabilities to build our cross-company roadmap. In this role you will both set strategy and personally drive execution to ensure we deliver outcomes. This is a senior, technical role with high autonomy and accountability, reporting directly to the VP of Product and Engineering.
What You'll Do
Embed directly with customers and program teams. Spend time on the front lines of our programs to understand what it takes to make them successful. Be fluent in our full capability set so you can support program scoping and spot the gaps we'll need to bridge — then, as we contract the program, carry those requirements back so they flow to the platform and capability teams and get reflected in the roadmap.
Own and evolve the product roadmap for the company. Decide which manufacturing and platform capabilities Hadrian builds next, in what order. Program and customer needs are one input; so is proactive development to get ahead of where the company is going. These are the calls that define what Hadrian can make and for whom.
Drive delivery across the business. Make the prioritization and resourcing calls when demands compete — the trade-offs and sequencing decisions that determine what gets done and what waits. Keep every team moving toward the same result. Individual teams own execution in their domain; you own that the business delivers as a whole.
Turn process into products. This team doesn't just set strategy and ship process — it builds products to do the work. For example, Nexus, Hadrian's internal tool for planning and execution tracking.
Take new products from zero to one. With visibility across the whole business, Global Product is often first to see where a net-new product or capability needs to exist — and takes it from zero to one:, building the case, shaping what it should be, and driving it into existence.
Spot what's coming before it's escalated. Stay plugged in across teams broadly enough to spot emerging risks and opportunities before they're formally escalated — a resourcing gap forming in one area, a capability need surfacing before a program is even scoped. With visibility across the whole business, Global Product is often the first to see it coming.
What We're Looking For
Technical depth in a core domain. Real technical expertise in at least one of Hadrian's core domains — advanced manufacturing, hardware, or technology — with the range and curiosity to build genuine fluency in the others. Strength across more than one is a major signal.
Systems-level thinking. You see across competing opportunities and constraints and understand how a decision in one area creates downstream consequences in others.
Influence and organizational navigation. You build trust and credibility across teams you don't formally manage, and know when to push and when to defer. You can operate as a close peer to program, capability, and platform leads — coordinating on scope and priorities while respecting clear lane boundaries, rather than competing for the same territory.
Product taste and judgment. You have a strong instinct for what's worth building — and what isn't. You can weigh customer demand, factory-floor reality, and where the company is headed, and make the call on where to point our effort.
A bias toward driving outcomes. You set strategy and own that it lands — building the plan, running the complex cross-functional effort, and keeping commitments from slipping. You make the hard prioritization calls when demands compete and you're comfortable saying no to protect what matters most.
Comfort working directly with customers. You can sit with enterprise customers on their hardest programs, scope what it will take, and translate what you hear into what our teams need to build.
Demonstrated leadership across complex systems. A track record of leading delivery across complex hardware and software systems.
Deep mission alignment. You care about the mission and are highly motivated to rebuild America’s industrial base.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

The Role:
As our Tech Lead overseeing Offensive Security, you will build and lead Hadrian’s offensive security capability from the ground up. Hadrian’s software-defined, ITAR-controlled factories are a high-value target, and your job is to find what an adversary would find first — across our manufacturing software, robotics and OT, cloud, corporate systems, physical devices, and AI. This is a hands-on principal role for someone who has done elite red-team work and wants to own an entire offensive function.
What You’ll Do
Build and run Hadrian’s offensive security function: red-team operations, penetration testing, and adversary emulation across software, robotics/OT, cloud, and physical devices.
Perform reverse engineering and vulnerability research on firmware, embedded controllers, and third-party components in our manufacturing environment.
Develop AI-driven offensive tooling to scale coverage, and assess the security of Hadrian’s own AI and autonomy systems.
Drive findings to remediation with engineering and the blue team, run purple-team exercises, and measure risk reduction over time.
Represent Hadrian’s security posture to customers, auditors, and DoD stakeholders.
What We’re Looking For
Deep, hands-on red-team and penetration-testing experience at a top-tier engineering organization (e.g., Block, Stripe, Anthropic, Google, AWS).
Strong reverse engineering skills (Ghidra, IDA Pro, or Binary Ninja) and a track record of finding and weaponizing real vulnerabilities.
Proficiency building offensive tooling in Python, Go, or C/C++ and leveraging AI to accelerate offensive work.
Ability to operate fully autonomously — set strategy and own outcomes without a team beneath you at the start.
Must be a U.S. person under ITAR (see requirements below).
What Will Set You Apart
Hardware, embedded, or OT/ICS security experience (JTAG/UART, firmware extraction, industrial protocols).
Recognized external presence — talks at DEF CON, Black Hat, or Recon, and published research or CVEs.
Experience attacking or securing AI and agentic systems.
Background in aerospace, defense, robotics, or manufacturing.
Experience standing up a red team or offensive program from zero.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
As Head of Qualification, you will be the technical lead for Hadrian's part qualification work for our defense customers, including Department of War and U.S. Army programs. Our customers come to us with legacy sustainment parts that have incomplete or outdated technical data or no reliable supply source, and they need those parts qualified to be produced again to support the warfighter. You will own that process, from first look at the technical data through development of a qualification package the government accepts, working alongside engineers, Hadrian’s programs team, and software teams to get there. This is a hands-on engineering role: you will work the technical problems yourself, and your credibility will come from having done this kind of engineering before.
Lead Hadrian's qualification activities with our military customers: own the pipeline from intake through government acceptance, and set the standard for how new parts, source, and advanced manufacturing techniques get qualified.
Do the engineering yourself when the part needs it, e.g., DFM reviews, process planning, and lead cross-functional teams to get parts qualified on time.
Act as the technical interface for qualification issues and operational blockers, and drive them to resolution.
Serve as Hadrian's technical counterpart to DoW customer program offices, depots, and engineering staff, etc., making and defending engineering determinations on parts, specs, and equivalency, and translating government requirements, TDPs, and quality standards into executable qualification and manufacturing plans.
Identify, advocate for and develop new internal capabilities based on recurring qualification needs and customer feedback.
Design and implement scalable qualification processes, including feedback loops with software teams, to support operational excellence and continuous improvement.
Engineering degree (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or similar) and significant hands-on design or manufacturing engineering experience, including recent work you did yourself.
A track record of engineering decisions that held up when challenged by another engineering organization, such as a customer, prime, or government authority.
Experience with technical data packages, drawings and GD&T, military specifications, and defense quality requirements (e.g., AS9100, FAI, source inspection).
Someone capable of thriving in a fast-paced startup environment, but who understands and can push through the DOW’s typical pace of work.
Customer-facing or program management experience is a plus, but not a substitute for technical depth.
Prior military service or civilian DoW experience is a plus.
For this role, the target salary range is $151,000 - $225,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
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 an Instructional Designer 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.

Drive sensor fusion strategy across LiDAR, structured light, RGB, and depth cameras; collaborate with hardware teams on sensor selection and calibration pipelines
Establish rigorous practices for the team: data collection and labeling pipelines, model training and evaluation workflows, deployment practices, and validation criteria across simulation and real-world environments
Represent perception in cross-functional design reviews and planning; engage with hardware vendors and research collaborators where relevant
Continuously evaluate state-of-the-art research; make deliberate, justified decisions about when and how to incorporate advances into production systems
What We’re Looking For
10+ years of software engineering in computer vision, robotics perception, or autonomous systems, with a track record of technical leadership at Staff or Principal level (or equivalent scope)
Expert level command of 3D computer vision: point cloud processing, depth estimation, stereo and structured light systems, multi-view geometry, and/or LiDAR-based algorithms in production
Strong machine learning foundations: model architecture, training infrastructure, and production deployment, with the judgment to know when and how to apply learned approaches versus classical methods
Experience in manufacturing, logistics, or other applied robotics environments. Familiarity with the reliability and safety constraints that production deployment demands beyond the lab
Experience building and deploying real-time perception systems under hard latency and reliability constraints
Strong proficiency in C++ and Python; demonstrated ability to write production quality code and hold a high bar in technical review
Proven ability to define architecture across a domain, make and communicate high-stakes technical decisions, and build alignment across teams and organizational boundaries
What Will Set You Apart
M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field with a concentration in computer vision, machine learning, or perception
Hands-on experience with sensor fusion techniques including multi-modal calibration, temporal alignment, and uncertainty quantification across sensor modalities
Familiarity with model optimization for edge deployment: quantization, distillation, TensorRT, or equivalent
Publications, patents, or significant open-source contributions in computer vision, robotics perception, or machine learning

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
We're hiring a Manufacturing Engineer with deep CNC machining expertise to join our team at the FX facility in Torrance, CA. You'll join a group of roughly twenty engineers and SMEs specialized across manufacturing capabilities — sheet metal, tube & pipe, and more — and bring dedicated machining depth at a moment when it matters most: our machining capacity and process maturity are directly on the critical path for one of Hadrian's highest-priority programs.
This is a process development and qualification role, not a machine operation role. You'll define machining processes from CAM strategy through first-part-off and drive them to capable, repeatable production — turning tough titanium and Inconel parts into documented, validated processes. You'll be the machining voice in capital equipment decisions, supporting SMEs through capex selection, and you'll partner with the factory development team as new capability is installed, commissioned, and brought online. It's a role for an engineer who combines hands-on machining judgment with data-driven rigor (DOE, SPC, capability studies) and wants their fingerprints on both the parts and the machines we buy — all in a fast-moving, high-mix, low-volume environment.
What You’ll Do
Lead CNC machining process development and research end to end — machining strategy, CAM/toolpath direction, cutting parameters, workholding and fixturing, and in-process probing — for complex, tight-tolerance aerospace and defense parts in a high-mix, low-volume environment (5-axis strongly preferred; mill-turn a plus), with a focus on steel, titanium and Inconel.
Qualify processes to capable, repeatable production: first-article builds, process capability studies (Cp/Cpk), SPC, and DOE-driven parameter optimization.
Serve as the CNC subject-matter expert supporting the capital equipment (capex) selection process — defining requirements and runoff criteria, evaluating machine tools, vendor assessment and capability studies, and factory acceptance testing (FAT).
Support the factory development team as new machining capability comes online — providing machining expertise through equipment installation, commissioning, and machine bring-up from first-part-off to fully ramped and stabilized production.
Provide Design for Machinability (DFM) feedback and tolerance definition to design and engineering teams, and drive cycle-time and cost-down improvements against aggressive program milestones.
What We're Looking For
4+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in CNC machining processes in aerospace & defense, precision manufacturing, medical device, or consumer electronics environments (a BS in Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering is great; equivalent hands-on experience is just as valued).
Deep multi-axis expertise: 3–5-axis simultaneous milling and turning/mill-turn, with CAM proficiency (e.g., hyperMILL, NX CAM, Mastercam) and the judgment to direct programming strategies and review toolpaths even when you're not the primary programmer.
Hands-on experience machining titanium, Inconel, or other difficult-to-machine alloys — practical command of cutting tools and coatings, speeds and feeds, tool-life management, and thermal/distortion control.
Strong fundamentals in GD&T (ASME Y14.5), workholding/fixture design, inspection, and process validation — with a demonstrated data-driven method (SPC, DOE, process capability analysis) behind yield and process-change decisions.
Ability to operate autonomously in a fast-moving, high-mix environment: you own workstreams end to end, navigate ambiguity, and communicate clearly with machinists on the floor, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
What Will Set You Apart
Capital equipment qualification experience: machine runoffs, vendor bring-up, capability studies, and factory acceptance testing — including greenfield buildouts or overseas equipment qualification.
Process development pedigree at scale — consumer electronics CNC (e.g., Apple MDE-style programs), space/propulsion machining, or medical device machining — with rigorous parameter and process documentation.
Large-format machining and/or mill-turn programming and process development experience.
Entrepreneurial ownership: machine-shop startup or buildout, 0-1 process launches, or products and businesses you built on your own initiative.
Automation and data skills: macro programming (Heidenhain/Fanuc), in-process or automated metrology, tool-life/load monitoring, or production data analysis.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $126,000 - $219,000 (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.

The Role
Technical Data Intelligence has the mission of making the world’s engineering data legible to automation. Ingesting high variance engineering design data in the form of engineering drawings and CAD models is crucial to assess part and assembly manufacturability, plan build processes, plan factories, and drive manufacturing process automation. This team includes both machine learning engineers and fullstack software engineers, and the product is tightly integrated with model development.
You will build and manage a team of machine learning engineers and software engineers focused on solving this problem. The solutions will be a mix of agent development, classical ML development, and systems for tracking, editing, and mutating this data. Your focus is on hiring, growing, and supporting a world class team. Ability and desire to go hands on will be necessary to help the team and stay in tune with what is possible as ML and software engineering rapidly change.
What You'll Do
Own the people leadership of your engineers: hiring, onboarding, mentorship, career growth, and performance.
Stay technically hands-on as a player-coach: participate in design reviews and contribute directly to the work when it helps the team move faster or clears a critical path.
Set technical direction and where we invest headcount, in partnership with the engineers and technical leads who drive architecture and modeling decisions.
Build and maintain the evaluation and annotation tooling the team depends on: gold datasets, accuracy metrics, and review loops where engineers correct model output and feed it back into the system.
Work across ML and software engineering so that model development and the product ship together.
Ensure engineers are engaged, growing, and set up to do their best work.
What We're Looking For
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading machine learning engineering teams in production, with strong technical depth and experience in machine learning, computer vision (detection/segmentation), multimodal image+text models, LLM based systems, and/or data engineering before that.
Strong judgment on organizational design: how to structure a team, allocate headcount across projects, and balance depth vs. breadth as the stack grows.
Production deployment ownership: you've shipped ML systems to production and been responsible for their health, including accuracy, cost, and latency.
Experience building or leading teams that build LLM or VLM based agents, and designing evaluations for non-deterministic systems.
A track record of running a healthy team: clear expectations, direct feedback, and a strong sense of ownership among your engineers.
Excellent communication and cross-functional partnership skills: you can align engineers, technical leads, and leadership.
What Will Set You Apart
Strong sense of connecting technical work and product development to business outcomes to understand what matters and what to say no to.
Heavy interest in manufacturing: you either have past exposure to it or are excited to learn as much about it as possible from experts here and help others do the same. This is core to our culture.
A track record of scaling a team through a period of fast headcount growth.
Experience mentoring engineers to grow into broader technical leadership roles.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $299,000 - $359,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
We embed Forward Deployed teams on Hadrian’s largest, most critical programs with the U.S. Government, the Armed Forces, and major defense primes. The Forward Deployed team works alongside the Program team from scoping to execution.
Forward Deployed bends our product to fulfill customer needs. Sometimes that involves extending Opus, Hadrian’s AI-driven manufacturing autonomy platform, other times it involves taking a new product zero to one to make a program successful. Everything the Forward Deployed team learns working at the edge with our customers is fed back to our platform teams to improve Hadrian’s product for all customers.
Recent projects have included standing up Factories-as-a-Service for the Armed Forces and multiple primes, extending Opus into new manufacturing domains such as energetics, and taking a product that was built for a single program into a $B+ product line.
The Role
As Director, you lead the Forward Deployed team on one or more programs and own its technical outcomes. You’ll get to run the technical side of a program larger than most startups ever get, working directly with the government, customer’s, and Hadrian’s leadership.
The team is early and scope is rapidly growing with Hadrian. Directors will help scale the Forward Deployed team itself and be the tip of the spear on multi-billion-dollar programs:
Own the technical roadmap and delivery. Take the program from the first ambiguous conversation to running in production, decide what Opus covers, what gets built, and what we say no to, and hold the team to a very high execution bar. The program hits rate, quality, schedule, and cost in part because the software and systems behind it work; you own that part.
Bring program learnings on platform teams. Share program learnings at Hadrian to improve the product for all customers and decide which Forward Deployed products should become part of Opus.
Own the executive relationship on the technical side. Be the primary technical contact for customer program leadership, government stakeholders, and prime partners. Run technical reviews, have the hard conversations about scope and schedule yourself, and make the call when scope, schedule, and platform leverage pull against each other and the commercial stakes are real.
Build and lead the team. Hire and grow the engineers, product managers, and designers on your program. You set the standard for how they work, and they bring you their hardest scoping calls.
Stay hands-on. Early in a program that can mean building the v0 yourself. Later it means reviewing what your team ships closely enough to ensure it meets Hadrian’s quality bar.
What We're Looking For
Highly commercial technical leaders with excellent product judgement.
You have demonstrated history lead engineering and product teams and scaling a product from zero to one.
You are strong with external and internal executives. You have owned senior customer relationships and made commitments on behalf of a company that you then had to deliver on.
You have product taste. You know what’s worth building and what good looks like for the user, and you’ve shipped end to end enough times to back that up.
You are hands-on technical You are just as comfortable supporting your team with technical. You are just as comfortable supporting your team with architecture and review as you are taking your own idea from design to delivery.
You are AI-native, and relentless about it. You use AI to compress everything from discovery to execution, you can show us concretely how it already makes you multiples faster, and you’ve rebuilt how your whole team works around it.
You have hired builders into ambiguous roles and gotten them productive fast.
You are driven by the mission and the tempo. Rebuilding the industrial base matters to you, and you want to deliver at the pace our customers need.
What Will Set You Apart
Founder or founding-team experience, especially if you ran customer relationships and business decisions while still building.
Background in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or anywhere hardware, software, and operations meet.
Forward deployed or solutions leadership at a product company.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

We embed Forward Deployed teams on Hadrian’s largest and most critical programs with the U.S. Government, the Armed Forces, and major defense primes. The Forward Deployed org works alongside programs and engineering teams on everything from scoping to execution.
Forward Deployed adapts our product to fulfill customer needs. Sometimes that involves extending Opus, Hadrian’s AI-driven manufacturing autonomy platform; other times, it involves taking a new product from 0 to 1 to make a program successful. Everything the Forward Deployed team learns working on the front lines with our customers is fed back to our engineering teams to improve Hadrian’s product for all customers.
Recent projects have included establishing Factories-as-a-Service (FaaS) for the Armed Forces and several major primes, expanding Opus into new manufacturing sectors such as energetics, and growing a product line originally developed for a single program into a programs valued at over $1b.
As a Senior Director, you lead the Forward Deployed team across one or more programs and are responsible for their technical outcomes. You will oversee the technical aspects of a program larger than most startups ever experience, working directly with government representatives, customers, and Hadrian’s leadership teams.
The team is in its early stages, and the scope is rapidly expanding with Hadrian. You will play a key role in scaling the Forward Deployed team and leading multi-billion-dollar programs.
Own the technical roadmap and delivery end‑to‑end. Drive programs from ambiguous first conversations to production deployment—defining scope, determining what gets built, and making clear, decisive calls on what we ship.
Share program learnings across the business to improve the product and determine which Forward Deployed products are shipped to both current and future programs and customers.
Executive ownership: serve as primary technical owner for customer program leadership, government stakeholders, and prime partners. Lead technical reviews, oversee discussions regarding scope and scheduling, and drive technical decisions across programs.
Build and lead the team. Hire and grow engineers, product managers, and designers across programs. You set the standard for how they work.
Remain hands-on as programs evolve—build the early foundation, then drive quality, set the bar for excellence, and ensure the team delivers to that standard.
Highly commercial technical leaders with excellent product judgment.
You have a demonstrated history leading engineering and product teams and scaling a product from 0-1.
Executive‑level stakeholder management. You have owned executive level customer relationships and made commitments on behalf of a company that you then had to deliver on.
You have product taste. You know what’s worth building and what good looks like for the user, and you’ve shipped end-to-end enough times to back that up.
Hands on technical leader. You are just as comfortable supporting your team with architecture and review as you are taking your own idea from design to delivery.
AI-native and relentless about it. You use AI to compress everything from discovery to execution, you can show us concretely how it already makes you and your teams run 5x faster.
Track record of building highly productive teams in ambiguous enviorments.
You are driven by the mission and the tempo. Rebuilding the industrial base matters to you, and you want to deliver at the pace our customers need.

Everything the Forward Deployed team learns working on the front lines with our customers is fed back to our engineering teams to improve Hadrian’s product for all customers.\n\nRecent projects have included establishing Factories-as-a-Service (FaaS) for the Armed Forces and several major primes, expanding Opus into new manufacturing sectors such as energetics, and growing a product line originally developed for a single program into a programs valued at over $1b.\n\n \n\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nAs a Senior Director, you lead the Forward Deployed team across one or more programs and are responsible for their technical outcomes. You will oversee the technical aspects of a program larger than most startups ever experience, working directly with government representatives, customers, and Hadrian’s leadership teams.\n\nThe team is in its early stages, and the scope is rapidly expanding with Hadrian. You will play a key role in scaling the Forward Deployed team and leading multi-billion-dollar programs.\n\n - Own the technical roadmap and delivery end‑to‑end. Drive programs from ambiguous first conversations to production deployment—defining scope, determining what gets built, and making clear, decisive calls on what we ship.\n\n - Share program learnings across the business to improve the product and determine which Forward Deployed products are shipped to both current and future programs and customers.\n\n - Executive ownership: serve as primary technical owner for customer program leadership, government stakeholders, and prime partners. Lead technical reviews, oversee discussions regarding scope and scheduling, and drive technical decisions across programs. \n\n - Build and lead the team. Hire and grow engineers, product managers, and designers across programs. You set the standard for how they work.\n\n - Remain hands-on as programs evolve—build the early foundation, then drive quality, set the bar for excellence, and ensure the team delivers to that standard.\n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - Highly commercial technical leaders with excellent product judgment.\n\n - You have a demonstrated history leading engineering and product teams and scaling a product from 0-1.\n\n - Executive‑level stakeholder management. You have owned executive level customer relationships and made commitments on behalf of a company that you then had to deliver on.\n\n - You have product taste. You know what’s worth building and what good looks like for the user, and you’ve shipped end-to-end enough times to back that up.\n\n - Hands on technical leader. You are just as comfortable supporting your team with architecture and review as you are taking your own idea from design to delivery.\n\n - AI-native and relentless about it. You use AI to compress everything from discovery to execution, you can show us concretely how it already makes you and your teams run 5x faster.\n\n - Track record of building highly productive teams in ambiguous enviorments.\n\n - You are driven by the mission and the tempo. Rebuilding the industrial base matters to you, and you want to deliver at the pace our customers need.\n\n\nWHAT WILL SET YOU APART\n\n - Founder or member of a \"founding-team\"\n\n - Experience owning customer relationships and business decisions.\n\n - Background in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or anywhere hardware, software, and operations intersect.\n\n - Forward-deployed or solutions leadership at a product company.\n\n\nBENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES\n\n - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees \n 401k \n\n - Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need. \n\n - Flexible vacation policy \n\n - Equity\n\n \n\n\nITAR REQUIREMENTS\n\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, 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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role:
Hadrian builds autonomous, scalable manufacturing to strengthen the national security supply chain. As Program Manager, customer deployments, you’ll scope, execute, and ultimately own the high-impact customer programs and factory stand-ups necessary to enable Hadrian’s mission to reindustrialize defense and aerospace.
You’ll turn ambiguous customer problem sets into structured analyses, program strategies, and business cases that drive go/no-go decisions and execution. Applying first-principles thinking, you’ll produce the executive-ready deliverables that move programs forward: customer proposals, pricing analyses, execution plans, and schedules. You’ll also run and execute these programs with direct P&L responsibility.
You’ll work directly with the CEO and senior leaders, connecting shop-floor reality, executive priorities, and government opportunities to define and launch new programs across the U.S. defense industrial base. We’re looking for someone who can own outcomes and can seamlessly move from a conversation with a C—suite customer to making sure your colleagues complete their badge paperwork.
What You’ll Do
Program Development & Scoping
Define new programs and their early execution phases alongside the CEO and senior leaders
Run customer discovery, working meetings, and site visits to gather unstructured data and shape programs
Surface cost, schedule, and delivery risks early, and drive the mitigation and execution plans
Own factory and production-line stand-ups end to end — capital plan, long-lead equipment, site readiness, workforce ramp, and the reviews that clear a line to start producing
Strategic Problem Solving & Business Analysis
Drive high-impact initiatives that accelerate Hadrian’s growth across aerospace and defense
Build quantitative models that turn operational and customer problems into roadmaps, investment cases, and ROI frameworks
Connect manufacturing performance data to business priorities and government program needs
Bring structure and decisions to ambiguous, high-stakes manufacturing and execution challenges
Support proposal development and capture management, including for follow-on business (e.g., RFP submissions, Statement of Work development)
Own program financials: budget, cost-to-complete, and margin, with a clear forecast of where each program lands
Work with contracts, quality, and legal to keep programs inside their contractual and regulatory obligations, and flag early where contract terms, export rules, or security requirements drive cost and schedule
Cross-Functional Execution & Delivery
Drive execution across engineering, operations, supply chain, and software
Own cross-functional workstreams end to end — scope, schedule, risk, and stakeholder alignment
Stand up and scale PMO systems (e.g., Work Breakdown Structures, Integrated Master Schedules, Earned Value Management)
Run the operating rhythm: recurring reviews, milestone and dependency tracking, and program dashboards
Carry programs from qualification and first-article approval through full rate production and handoff to steady-state operations
Executive Communication & Stakeholder Leadership
Build and deliver executive presentations, business cases, customer proposals, and internal program materials
Synthesize technical, operational, and strategic inputs into clear narratives
Lead program reviews, status updates, and risk reporting
Act as the primary point of contact for customer program offices, including on site at customer facilities, and position Hadrian for follow-on work
What We’re Looking For
Experience: 6+ years in management consulting, federal programs, manufacturing, or operations/strategy roles, ideally within aerospace, defense, or industrial environments. You’ve owned programs or workstreams, not just supported them.
Education: Bachelor’s in Business, Economics, Operations, Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree is a plus.
Travel: Willingness to travel 20–40% domestically to customer and manufacturing sites.
A&D Familiarity: Direct work in aerospace and defense manufacturing — with Primes, OEMs, Tier 1/2 suppliers, or large industrial programs. Cross-functional experience across Operations, Finance, Engineering, Program Management, or Business teams is a plus.
Communication: Strong written and verbal skills. You build executive-grade PowerPoint independently and present to senior internal and external stakeholders on your own.
Ownership & Ambiguity: You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments — proactive, organized, and able to bring structure to complex problems without being told how.
Eligibility: U.S. person status required. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance is a plus.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $199,000 - $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:
As a Tooling Technician at Hadrian, you'll own tooling fabrication and modification tied to new product introduction, working autonomously as we ramp up internal tooling builds across our growing manufacturing programs. Tooling is trending to be an early blocker on this ramp, so you'll be operating on program-critical timelines from day one — partnering shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering to both modify existing tools and design and fabricate new ones. You'll join a small team that's planned to triple in size over the next six months, giving you real influence over how the function scales.
What You’ll Do
Fabricate and modify tooling in direct support of new product introduction across our manufacturing programs.
Partner with engineering to help develop and design new tools from the ground up.
Operate welding, water jet, laser tracking, manual machine shop (mills, lathes), and general assembly equipment as needed to support builds.
Maintain and iterate on existing tooling as part designs and requirements evolve.
Help scale tooling processes and practices as the team grows 3x over the next 6 months.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of experience in tooling fabrication, spanning both modification of established tools and fabrication of new tools.
Hands-on experience with welding, water jet operation, laser tracking, manual machine shop equipment, and general assembly.
Ability to operate autonomously with minimal oversight on program-critical timelines.
Comfort collaborating directly with engineering on new tool development and design.
Strong troubleshooting instincts and a bias toward unblocking the program quickly.
What Will Set You Apart
Direct experience where tooling was a critical-path item on a program ramp.
Experience helping stand up or scale a tooling function from a small team.
Cross-trained across multiple fabrication processes beyond welding and water jet.
A track record of mentoring less experienced technicians on tooling fabrication.

Tooling is trending to be an early blocker on this ramp, so you'll be operating on program-critical timelines from day one — partnering shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering to both modify existing tools and design and fabricate new ones. You'll join a small team that's planned to triple in size over the next six months, giving you real influence over how the function scales.\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\n - Fabricate and modify tooling in direct support of new product introduction across our manufacturing programs.\n\n - Partner with engineering to help develop and design new tools from the ground up.\n\n - Operate welding, water jet, laser tracking, manual machine shop (mills, lathes), and general assembly equipment as needed to support builds.\n\n - Maintain and iterate on existing tooling as part designs and requirements evolve.\n\n - Help scale tooling processes and practices as the team grows 3x over the next 6 months.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n\n - 6+ years of experience in tooling fabrication, spanning both modification of established tools and fabrication of new tools.\n\n - Hands-on experience with welding, water jet operation, laser tracking, manual machine shop equipment, and general assembly.\n\n - Ability to operate autonomously with minimal oversight on program-critical timelines.\n\n - Comfort collaborating directly with engineering on new tool development and design.\n\n - Strong troubleshooting instincts and a bias toward unblocking the program quickly.\n\nWhat Will Set You Apart\n\n - Direct experience where tooling was a critical-path item on a program ramp.\n\n - Experience helping stand up or scale a tooling function from a small team.\n\n - Cross-trained across multiple fabrication processes beyond welding and water jet.\n\n - A track record of mentoring less experienced technicians on tooling fabrication.\n\nCompensation\n\nFor this role, the target salary range may vary based on experience.\n\nThis 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.

Select and stand up the coating line's support team, define the operator training and certification matrix, and execute train-the-trainer so production and maintenance fully own the line post-launch
Solve yield and throughput issues during process maturation and formally hand the line to production
What We're Looking For
Hands-on aerospace/defense MRO coatings experience: MIL-SPEC/CARC and AMS-spec coatings, corrosion control, surface prep and stripping, masking, first-article inspection, and full documentation/traceability
Proven, applied experience with NFPA 33/86/70/30/409 and OSHA 1910 as they apply to paint operations — hazard classification, ventilation and interlock design review, and AHJ coordination and permitting
Track record writing equipment specifications, managing vendor selection, and running factory/customer acceptance programs
Experience standing up teams via train-the-trainer, with the ability to operate autonomously across code compliance, equipment engineering, and cross-functional coordination
Comfort working on the shop floor daily alongside equipment engineering, commissioning, troubleshooting, and inspection activities
What Will Set You Apart
Experience launching a paint, powder, or mixed-coatings line from facility bring-up through steady-state production in a defense, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing environment
NADCAP and/or AS9100 quality-system exposure
PLC/controls fluency sufficient to review interlock and SCADA logic directly with controls engineers
Direct experience negotiating fire-protection or insurance-carrier acceptance requirements with an AHJ
History of building and certifying trainers who went on to independently run the line
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

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
As a Recruiter at Hadrian, you'll play a critical role in scaling the teams that power our growth from the engineers building our automation platform, to the factory teams delivering on throughput and quality, to the business functions that drive revenue and operations. This is not a traditional recruiting role: you'll work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where strong partnerships with leaders, sharp sourcing instincts, and sound judgment matter every day.
You'll join a growing Talent team that is collaborative, mission-driven, and execution-oriented, partnering closely with leadership to shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, and how Hadrian shows up in the talent market.

Technical Recruiter: Owns hiring for software engineers, product, designers, and other technical talent
Business Recruiter: Owns hiring across GTM and G&A functions
Manufacturing Recruiter: Owns recruiting across manufacturing operations
Own full-cycle recruiting for your assigned function, from intake through offer
Partner with hiring managers and leaders to define role requirements, success profiles, and hiring priorities
Build and execute sourcing strategies to attract high-quality, diverse talent
Run efficient, high-signal, compliant interview and selection processes
Deliver an exceptional candidate experience aligned with Hadrian's culture and values
Track hiring performance and use data to identify bottlenecks and improve outcomes
Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and leaders, providing market insight and recommendations
Contribute to broader Talent initiatives, including employer branding and process improvement
5-8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience
Experience closing complex offers, including negotiation across competing compensation and equity packages
A strong communicator who builds trust with candidates and stakeholders
Data-informed, organized, and proactive in managing competing priorities
Thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments where priorities evolve quickly
Passionate about candidate experience and building strong, high-performing teams
Experience recruiting in technical, manufacturing, or hardware-software environments
Startup or high-growth company experience
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is: $105,000 - $225,000 (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.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
You will be at Hadrian's HQ in Torrance, CA. Execs, engineering, design, program teams, and visiting customers all work out of our Torrance campus. As IT Lead, you own the health of the team that keeps corporate IT running for our west coast operations, with a secondary lens on our factory operations.
You will lead a small team of Technicians, Analysts, and Systems Admins. Two things sit at the center of the job: technical ability and leadership.
Corporate IT is your main focus. Factory IT is your secondary partnership: you back up the site IT teams, keep our tools consistent between HQ and the floor, and make sure the two sides feel like one company.
Lead the IT team day to day at HQ. Set priorities, clear blockers, and get your hands dirty so the queue keeps moving and the projects keep landing.
Build and evolve our AI chatbot workflows. Design intents, wire up integrations to Okta, Microsoft 365, Box, Jira, and our internal systems, and keep the flows tuned as the business changes.
Keep a live pulse on ticket flow across HQ and the factory. Watch volume, categories, and repeat requests, and turn what you see into automation, chatbot skills, self-service, or new runbooks.
Own executive service and white-glove support. Make sure execs, board members, and visiting VIPs get fast, quiet, and reliable help every time they are on campus or on the road.
Help the team run live AV for all-hands, podcasts, and events. Own the conference rooms, all-hands spaces, and event AV. Set up, test, and run the show so nothing on stage or on Teams is a surprise.
Partner with factory IT as a secondary focus. Back up site IT during rollouts, incidents, and audits, and keep our identity, endpoint, and ITSM setup consistent between HQ and the factory.
Coach Technicians, Analysts, and Systems Admins. Teach them how to think in workflows and automations, how to handle exec support with care, and how to run AV without a script.
Partner with Security, Infrastructure, DevOps, Facilities, People Ops, and Production leaders. Speak for IT in planning conversations and translate their needs into work the team can pick up.
Own our vendor and license footprint. Negotiate, right-size, and track spend.
Handle the hard escalations. Be the person people call when something big is on fire, and lead the post-mortem after.
Hire. Screen, interview, and close strong candidates as the team grows.
7 or more years in IT, with at least 2 leading a team or a major program.
Strong background in corporate IT at a HQ or campus environment. You have supported execs, engineering, and business teams, and you know how a headquarters is different from a shop floor.
Hands-on track record building AI chatbot workflows and ticket deflection flows in platforms like Serval, Moveworks, or similar. You have shipped flows that measurably cut ticket volume.
Strong instinct for reading ticket data. You can look at a queue and tell what should be automated, what should be documented, and what should be pushed back on.
Real experience with executive and white-glove support. You know how to move fast without making noise, and how to teach a team to do the same.
Hands-on AV experience with conference room gear such as Crestron, Q-SYS, Logitech, or similar. You have set up rooms, tuned audio, and fixed AV under time pressure.
Strong technical base. You have run a service desk, administered core SaaS platforms (Okta, Microsoft 365, MDM, ITSM), and shipped automation or integrations yourself.
Track record of running an IT function that scales: SLAs, on-call, change management, asset lifecycle, and clean handoffs.
Comfort partnering with a factory or field IT team as a secondary customer, even if HQ is your primary.
Sharp written and verbal communicator. You can brief an exec, coach a new hire, and write a clear post-mortem in the same week.
Steady judgment. You know when to move fast, when to slow down, and when to say no.
Able to work on-site at our Torrance, CA HQ and surrounding locations, with occasional travel.
Able to lift up to 50 lbs and move hardware or AV gear around the campus and event spaces as needed.
Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
Prior software engineering, scripting, or DevOps background. You can build the automation, not just spec it.
Certifications such as Crestron CTS, AVIXA CTS, or Q-SYS Level 1/2.
Experience running IT across both a corporate HQ and a manufacturing site.
Time spent in aerospace, defense, or another regulated environment.
Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, or CMMC.
Experience building an IT team from a handful of people to a real function.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $151,000 - 181,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
As our Senior Identity Engineer, you will own workforce and workload identity end-to-end — SSO, MFA, the joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, privileged access, secrets, and service/machine identity — across corporate, cloud, and factory systems that handle export-controlled technical data. You will build an automation-first, least-privilege identity program that shrinks our largest attack surface while keeping engineers fast. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role on a small, high-leverage security team in Los Angeles.
What You’ll Do
Design, implement, and operate our IdP stack (e.g., Okta, Entra, Google Workspace, Auth0, or Zitadel) — SSO, SCIM provisioning, and phishing-resistant MFA — and build the systems around it.
Build identity systems at scale that put OAuth 2.0 / OIDC / SAML and modern authorization models (RBAC and relationship-based access control) to work in production.
Own cloud identity end-to-end — Azure service principals, AWS IAM, and workload/service identity — and tie those identities cleanly to the underlying infrastructure.
Work cross-functionally to help other teams meet their identity needs, and automate the access lifecycle (joiner-mover-leaver) and reviews.
Partner with Detection & Response and Compliance/FSO so identity telemetry is detectable, actionable, and audit-ready.
What We’re Looking For
You can build. Strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping identity systems at scale — not just configuring a vendor tool or leaning on AI-assisted coding.
Real command of core identity concepts — OAuth 2.0 flows, OIDC, SAML, RBAC, and relationship-based access control (ReBAC) — and the ability to design systems that exploit these protocols well.
Hands-on depth with one or more IdPs (Okta / Entra / Google Workspace / Auth0 / Zitadel), since day-to-day is implementing, designing, and integrating these platforms.
Cloud identity depth — Azure service principals, AWS IAM — and a clear grasp of how those identities map to real infrastructure.
The autonomy and urgency to own the identity domain end-to-end on a small, high-leverage team with minimal direction.
What Will Set You Apart
Fine-grained authorization at scale (ReBAC with OpenFGA / Zanzibar-style systems) built and run in production.
Identity engineering for OT/manufacturing or other regulated, controlled environments.
Large-scale passkey/FIDO2 or PAM (CyberArk/Teleport) rollouts, and secrets management with HashiCorp Vault.
Experience building on a small, high-automation team where output-per-engineer is the measure; detection-engineering and ITAR-aware access design.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Hadrian's People team builds the systems that let us hire, grow, and keep the people reindustrializing America. As we open new factories and launch new capabilities, how we pay people becomes one of the biggest levers we have to attract and retain talent, and our workforce doesn't fit a standard compensation playbook.
As our Compensation Manager, you'll own Hadrian's compensation strategy and build the framework that holds all of that together. You'll be equal parts strategist and practitioner: setting our comp philosophy, building job architecture and pay structures, running comp cycles, and building the tools that help Business Leaders, Recruiting, and Finance make fast, confident pay decisions. You'll partner closely with People Partners, Recruiting, Finance, and leadership, and you'll be the person who keeps us ahead of the market instead of reacting to it.
Own Hadrian's compensation strategy and philosophy, building a competitive, scalable framework that covers hourly production, salaried, GTM, and executive roles.
Build and maintain our job architecture and career frameworks, including leveling, job families, and skills-based pay structures.
Conduct market benchmarking and modeling using the right peer groups for each talent market, from aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing to top AI and tech companies.
Set the cadence for refreshing our comp bands and own that process end-to-end, so our ranges never lag the market, including as we open sites in new labor markets.
Own annual and off-cycle comp planning, including merit, promotion, and equity refresh cycles, and stay hands-on through execution.
Partner with Recruiting on offer decisioning, building the guidance and tools that help hiring managers and recruiters put together competitive, defensible offers quickly.
Advise on sales and GTM compensation design, including OTE structuring, and partner with leadership on executive compensation and equity frameworks.
Build models, dashboards, and reporting that surface what matters, like pay equity, offer competitiveness, and retention risk, and use them to drive better decisions.
Turn compensation data into a story leaders can act on, clearly explaining the reasoning behind pay decisions and structure to executives and hiring managers.
6+ years of compensation experience with real ownership of program design and comp cycles, not just an analytical role.
Command of compensation fundamentals, including job matching, market pricing, leveling and job architecture, and cyclical programs.
Experience building comp programs for both hourly and salaried populations, including pay practices like shift differentials, overtime, and multi-state pay compliance.
A track record of building benchmarking approaches and peer groups that hold up under scrutiny, and the judgment to know when the standard playbook doesn't fit.
Deep Excel or Google Sheets fluency (modeling, lookups, INDEX/MATCH, etc.) and the ability to turn messy data into insights the business can actually use.
Fluency in sales compensation, including OTE design, bonus structuring, and the tradeoffs that come with them.
Experience designing and managing equity programs, with a strong understanding of private vs. public company equity frameworks.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to take a dense comp model and explain it simply to a senior leader or a first-time hiring manager.
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where you're building structure in real time.
Compensation experience across both manufacturing and tech companies, and an understanding of how to build one program that works for the factory floor and the engineering org.
Experience building skills-based pay structures, career frameworks, or job architecture from the ground up.
A creative, outside-the-box approach to comp strategy. You've designed programs that lead the market in a space where there's no clear peer group or established playbook to follow.
Experience with executive compensation, especially in a pre-IPO or rapid-scaling environment.
Background in aerospace, defense, or other regulated industries.
Experience with HRIS and comp planning tools like Rippling, Pave, or similar.
For this role, the target salary range is 200,000 - 260,000 (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.

• Material Level I / SUBSAFE material control — procurement flow-down, receipt inspection, identification, segregation, storage, movement, and disposition of L1/SS material and its remnants, per NAVSEA 0924-062-0010 and applicable customer requirements.
• Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) — establish and audit the records package (chemical, mechanical, and performance test data; certifications; traceability) that proves conformance and ensure OQE is complete before material is released or delivered.
• Certification boundary integrity — define what falls inside the SUBSAFE boundary for each part, and ensures controls, documentation, and personnel qualifications are applied accordingly.
• Procedures and work instructions — author and maintain SUBSAFE / L1 procedures (material handling, cleanliness, traceability, non-conforming material, escapes), integrated with Hadrian’s AS9100D quality management system.
• Non-conformance and escapes — control non-conforming SUBSAFE material, drive root-cause and corrective action, and own the escalation path to Central Quality and the customer.
• Audit and qualification readiness — prepare for and support NAVSEA and customer audits and the activity qualification and authorization process (NAVSEAINST 4855.34), and own internal SUBSAFE audits.
• Supplier and receiving controls — flow SUBSAFE / L1 requirements to suppliers, verify certifications at receipt, and build out receiving capability to handle SUBSAFE material as volume ramps.
• Training — qualify Hadrian personnel who handle SUBSAFE material and build the workforce awareness the program depends on.
• 5+ years in quality within a defense, marine, nuclear, or aerospace manufacturing environment, including direct SUBSAFE and/or Material Level I responsibility.
• Working command of SUBSAFE requirements and the governing NAVSEA documentation (0924-062-0010; NAVSEAINST 4855.34), OQE, controlled-material handling, traceability, and cleanliness.
• Experience building or running material-control and non-conformance processes in a regulated, audited environment.

The Role
We're hiring our first Manager of Sales & Operations Planning to establish the S&OP function and build the team behind it. You'll design and lead a data driven planning framework that aligns customer demand, supply capability, financial objectives, and operational execution and, critically, determines where across our sites each part is manufactured to best balance capacity, capability, cost, and delivery.
The Manager will influence across the executive leadership team and work cross-functionally with Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, Finance, Quality, Engineering, and Program Management to drive enterprise alignment, improve forecast accuracy, reduce volatility, and strengthen execution discipline. This position will have direct report(s) and will be accountable for establishing standard work, governance, analytics, and performance management across the SIOP process.
This is equal parts builder and operator. In the first year you'll define the process, select and implement the tooling, and hire the team who will run it at scale to provide a credible answer to \"can we commit to this, and what does it cost us?\"
What You'll Do:
Build & Lead the S&OP
· Build and implement a scalable S&OP process from the ground up across all platforms and sites.
· Establish enterprise wide S&OP governance, cadence, standard work, and decision making forums.
· Partner with executive leadership to align demand, supply, sales, capacity, and financial plans.
· Lead monthly S&OP reviews and ensure clear accountability for actions, owners, and outcomes.
· Build and leverage analytics, dashboards, and reporting tools to drive fact based decision making.
· Establish key S&OP metrics, including schedule adherence, performance, past due, capacity utilization, sellable capacity, network load balance, and supply risk.
· Use data to drive executive-level visibility to trends, risks, constraints, trade offs, and the decisions required to keep plans realistic and executable.
· Serve as a key integration point between commercial priorities, operational capability, and capacity.
Network Planning & Site Allocation
Own the site allocation strategy. Determine which site manufactures each part, balancing capacity, capability, lead time, and customer requirements across the network.
Build and maintain a network level view of load and capacity across all sites, and dynamically balance demand against available capacity to maximize throughput and on time delivery.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
We're hiring our first Sr. Manager of Production Planning & Scheduling to own the factory side execution. Where our S&OP function decides where and whether we can build across the network, you own how and when it actually gets built on the floor. You'll own discrete operational scheduling, job sequencing and priority, and the daily/weekly rhythm that ensures on-time delivery (OTD) and sets the factory up for success.
This role reports to our Operations leadership and drives a consistent scheduling methodology across the network, while partnering closely with each site General Manager on execution. Your scheduling and planning team members will support the sites day-to-day (dotted-line to the GM) while you own the standards, methodology, and rigor centrally.
This is a builder and owner role. While the team is built out, you'll be hands-on developing the scheduling methodologies, communication rigor, and visual management that don't exist yet, and turning them into standard work. You'll be the person the floor, Program Management, and leadership rely on for a clear, credible answer to \"what are we running, in what order, and are we going to hit the date?\"
You'll partner tightly with the S&OP function, translating network-level allocation and capacity plans into an executable factory schedule — and feeding real execution signal back up to highlight and drive capacity improvements.
What You'll Do:
Own Production Scheduling & Execution
· Own discrete production scheduling and job sequencing across work centers to maximize on-time delivery and throughput.
· Own work order release to the floor and control what work is released and when.
· Set and manage priority and milestone dates, establish clear, transparent rules for what runs when, and make the trade-off calls when priorities conflict.
· Own data integrity for schedules and dates in the system, and maintain and drive accurate MRP schedules so plans, priorities, and downstream commitments can be trusted.
· Build the daily/weekly scheduling cadence and standard work that keeps the floor aligned, from shift-level execution to weekly look-ahead.
· Translate S&OP network allocation and capacity plans into an executable, sequenced factory schedule.
· Partner closely with the site General Manager to align on priorities, sequencing, and daily execution serving as the GM's right hand for turning the plan into on-time output.
· Establish the system and cadence for tracking work order progress through the floor, monitors status against milestone dates, surfaces at risk jobs early, and drives rapid recovery on exceptions.
Drive OTD & Factory Performance
Own on time delivery as a primary metric track it, root cause misses, and close the gaps.
Ensure the factory is set up for success: materials, tooling, capacity, and priorities aligned ahead of the work, not discovered at the machine.
Highlight and drive capacity improvements — surface constraints and bottlenecks from real execution data and partner with Operations and Engineering to resolve them.
Feed execution signal (actual cycle times, constraints, attainment) back to S&OP to sharpen capacity models and sellable-capacity commitments.
Build Methodology, Rigor & Visibility
Develop the scheduling methodologies and logic from the ground up, sequencing rules, buffering, prioritization frameworks and codify them as standard work applied consistently across sites.
Establish communication rigor: the meeting cadence, escalation paths, and reporting that keep the floor, the GMs, and leadership on the same page.
Build the visual management schedules, boards, dashboards, and status views that make factory status, priorities, and risks obvious at a glance.
Establish key scheduling metrics: OTD, schedule adherence, past due, work center utilization, and cycle time performance.
People Leadership
Lead, coach, and develop a team of production planners and schedulers as the function scales, including team members embedded at and dotted lined to the sites.
Build organizational capability through talent development, standard work, training, and performance management.
Foster a culture of accountability, urgency, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
· Proven experience in production planning, scheduling, or shop floor operations management in a discrete manufacturing environment.
· Deep understanding of production scheduling, sequencing, priority management, master scheduling, capacity/constraint analysis, and OTD drivers.
· Hands on experience with scheduling/ERP/MES systems and strong analytical and data visualization skills.
· Experience leading teams and developing planning/scheduling talent.
· Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to drive urgency and accountability on the floor.
· ERP/MRP expertise work order lifecycle, MRP mechanics, and maintaining schedule/date data integrity at scale.
Education & Experience Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Business, Engineering, Finance, or related discipline preferred.
5+ years of progressive experience in production planning, scheduling, or manufacturing operations.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
What You'll Do
Machine Connectivity Across the Fleet: Build and own the connectivity layer across the AM fleet — PC-based machine control systems, PLC-based subsystems, and vendor interfaces alike — including the log, file, and tag-level extraction required where no standard interface exists.
Canonical Data Model and Schema Governance: Own the schemas, tag dictionaries, naming conventions, units, and versioning that let one integration pattern scale across platforms and sites. Govern schema change so downstream consumers do not break.
Pipelines and Storage: Design, build, and operate the telemetry and build data pipelines — transport, stream processing, buffering, and persistence into relational and time-series storage — with the uptime, backfill, and data integrity guarantees that qualification evidence depends on.
Machine State Models and OPUS Integration: Own how a machine reports what it is doing, how work is dispatched to it, and how each build record ties to part, powder lot, machine, and operator for end-to-end traceability.
Requirements and Interface Baseline: Define the interface, control, and data requirements; flow them down to OEMs and to internal engineering; verify what is delivered against them; and hold the change-controlled interface control documents — state models, command semantics, telemetry dictionaries, alarm and error handling, and version history — so every integration is specified before it is built, reproducible across machines and sites, and enforceable with vendors as their platforms and firmware evolve.
Supplementary Instrumentation: Instrument what the OEM does not expose. Specify and integrate supplementary sensing, edge compute, and data acquisition where native machine data is insufficient for process monitoring or engineering investigation.
OT Network and Controller Accreditation: Partner with IT and Security to get machine controllers onto a compliant network — segmentation, remote access, patch and firmware change paths, and controller accreditation under NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC.
Safety State Integration: Integrate machine and cell safety state into the control and platform layer, and validate interlock behavior against aerospace and defense production requirements, in coordination with the Automation & Robotics Engineer and site EHS.
Commissioning and Acceptance Support: Support commissioning, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) from a controls and connectivity standpoint, ensuring each machine meets the Hadrian integration standard before production release.
Build Preparation Toolchain Handoff: Support the build preparation and slicing toolchain integration path — the handoff from build preparation software into machine execution and back into the manufacturing record — in partnership with Application Engineering and the software team.
OEM Technical Relationships: Establish and maintain OEM relationships covering interface and data access, controller and firmware change management, calibration hooks, and serviceability — including holding vendors to the agreed interface requirements through platform and firmware changes.
Qualification Data Foundation: Supply the data integrity, audit trail, and configuration control support the System Qualification Engineer needs for installation and operational qualification, and that Materials and Process and Application Engineering need for performance qualification.
Structured Problem Solving: Lead structured problem-solving on integration, connectivity, and data anomalies using 8D, 5 Whys, and corrective action driven to verified closure.
What we're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Mechatronics, or related field.
5+ years connecting production manufacturing equipment to higher-level software systems — MES, SCADA, historian, or equipment and data platforms — with direct hands-on ownership of the integration rather than oversight of an integrator.
Hands-on fluency with industrial machine communication: OPC-UA and MQTT, plus at least one PLC platform at the tag and program level. Siemens S7 and TIA Portal strongly preferred; PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or Modbus equivalents considered. Working familiarity with MTConnect and REST APIs.
Demonstrated ability to integrate proprietary or undocumented OEM interfaces — working out log formats, file drops, and vendor data access where no standard protocol is available.
Strong database engineering: relational schema design and SQL fluency, plus practical experience with time-series or historian storage for high-rate machine data. Schema migration and versioning experience required.
Experience designing and operating data pipelines in production — message transport, stream or batch processing, and monitoring of the pipeline itself.
Working proficiency in Python or equivalent for integration, parsing, and data tooling, with version control and code review discipline.
Experience implementing or validating safety interlock systems in a production manufacturing environment.
Demonstrated ability to define technical interface and data requirements, flow them down to equipment vendors and internal engineering teams, verify delivered systems against them, and keep change-controlled interface documentation current as those systems evolve.
Ability to work on site full time in Torrance, California, and to travel to Hadrian deployment sites and OEM facilities — up to 25% [CONFIRM].
Must be a U.S. person for ITAR purposes — a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or otherwise eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience with metal additive manufacturing equipment — LPBF controller architecture, laser and scanner control, or in-process monitoring.
Experience integrating equipment into MES or factory data platforms in aerospace or defense production.
Experience with AM process data: in-situ monitoring, melt pool sensing, layer imaging, or scanner and galvanometer telemetry.
Experience with OT network architecture and security in a regulated or defense manufacturing environment, including NIST SP 800-171 or CMMC.
Exposure to polymer AM platforms alongside metal.
Familiarity with aerospace and defense AM qualification data requirements — AMS7032, US Navy, or NIAR/NCAMP.
Experience supporting installation and operational qualification from a controls and data integrity perspective.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

This is a dual-front role built for someone with 15-20+ years inside the defense budget process. The core of the job is shaping the budget build inside the Pentagon and OMB, and engaging the process by which Congress sets the defense topline — a process driven heavily by congressional leadership, Armed Services Committee leaders, and the Budget Committees. This role also requires close fluency in how funding is actually spent once it's appropriated — apportionment, allocation, obligation, and execution. Particular depth on how the organic industrial base is managed and funded, how the National Defense Stockpile is managed, defense working capital funds, and the reprogramming process is also desired.
Appropriations Committee engagement and NDAA authorization requests are owned day to day by the Head of Government Relations - Federal Legislative; this role supports that work rather than leading it. Because this role's core relationships — Pentagon and OMB budget staff, Armed Services Committee and Budget Committee leadership, and the comptroller community — cross executive and legislative branches, it reports directly to the SVP, Public Policy. On Appropriations Committee engagement and NDAA authorization requests, this role works in a dotted-line partnership with the Head of Government Relations - Federal Legislative, supporting rather than owning those relationships. Similarly, this role will closely collaborate with the Head of Government Relations – Executive Branch, especially at the White House offices.
This is an individual contributor role to start, built for someone who can operate through expertise, judgment, and relationships rather than headcount. As the budget and execution portfolio matures, the scope is expected to grow — potentially into a small team — but this is not a role that starts with people management built in.
Budget Build & Topline Strategy
Own Hadrian's engagement on how the President's Budget request is built inside the Pentagon and OMB, before it ever reaches Congress.
Build and hold relationships with congressional leadership and the leadership of the House and Senate Armed Services and Budget Committees — the offices most responsible for setting the defense topline — distinct from the appropriations process itself.
Bring a fluent understanding of the distinction between mandatory and discretionary spending and how the reconciliation process can affect the defense topline, translating that distinction into clear implications for Hadrian.
Support the Head of Government Relations - Federal Legislative on Appropriations Committee engagement, on NDAA authorization requests, congressional oversight and and testimony prep, as a dotted-line partner; represent Hadrian on budget-build and topline matters directly.
Translate the federal budget calendar — President's Budget rollout, markups, topline agreements, continuing resolutions — into concrete, timely guidance for the CEO, SVP, the Federal sales lead, and Hadrian's executive team.
Execution-Year Budget Management
Bring deep fluency in how funding actually moves once appropriated — apportionment, allocation, obligation, and execution — and use that fluency to anticipate rather than just react to funding shifts affecting Hadrian.
Understand closely how the organic industrial base is managed and funded, and flag where Hadrian's factories and public private partnership plans intersect with those investment decisions.
Understand closely how the National Defense Stockpile is managed and funded, and where it bears on Hadrian's business.
Own oversight of defense working capital funds and the reprogramming process — including above- and below-threshold reprogramming and the omnibus reprogramming action — especially how to influence reprogrammings prior to submission to the congressional defense committees.
Operate proactively, not reactively: identify and help Hadrian seize opportunities during the year of execution, and surface and mitigate risk before it becomes a problem.
Budget Intelligence & Internal Advisory
Partner with the Federal sales and capture teams to make sure budget-build, topline, and execution-year intelligence directly informs pursuit strategy, pricing, and timing on Hadrian's federal opportunities.
Prepare board- and investor-facing materials on federal budget risk and opportunity exposure as needed.
This role is an individual contributor to start. As the portfolio grows, it may expand into building and leading a small team — this role is expected to help define what that function looks like, not inherit it fully formed.
15+ years alternating between the legislative and executive branches of the defense budget process, as well as an understanding of how these processes influence the defense industries’ business decisions and legislative engagement.
Direct, hands-on ownership of the defense reprogramming review process — including omnibus reprogramming actions — and oversight of defense working capital funds, the organic industrial base, and the National Defense Stockpile, not just familiarity with how those programs work on paper.
A track record of driving institutional change that only works with sustained relationships across the Pentagon and the Hill — the kind of multi-year advocacy that, for example, helped push the Department toward audit readiness.
A level of recognized subject-matter authority such that outside institutional reviews of the defense budget process — for example, the PPBE Reform Commission — have sought your input directly.
Experience translating a defense contractor's long-range business plan into federal fiscal-policy advocacy.
A track record of being the person budget staff, defense committee staff, and financial managers call first — someone whose read of the budget, the policy, and the politics behind it is trusted at face value on both sides of the branch divide.
Deep, working familiarity with the congressional budget committees, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Government Accountability Office, and the Congressional Research Service (CRS), and how their analysis shapes appropriations and NDAA outcomes.
Fluent in the distinction between mandatory and discretionary spending and in how the reconciliation process works, including its potential effects on the defense topline.
Close, standing relationships across the military comptroller community — the kind built over a career, not assembled for a single engagement.
Fluency in turning dense budget detail into clear, actionable intelligence for company executives, including knowing where to find execution and obligation rate data and how reprogramming actually moves through the system.
Deep understanding of defense financial management regulations and the PPBE process from the inside.
Comfortable operating with real independence and exercising judgment on what's binding, what's advisory, and what needs to go to the SVP directly.
A relentless, genuine focus on Hadrian's mission: rebuilding American industrial capacity and the workforce that runs it.
Proactive and collaborative, with a sense of levity that makes the work better without ever letting up on the bar for excellence.
Currently practicing as a registered federal lobbyist, or immediately eligible to register.
Holds or can obtain a national security clearance.
An advanced degree in business administration, public administration, or a related field is a plus.
For this role, the target salary range is $224,000 - $260,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Technical Program Managers (TPMs) exist to make cross functional and cross organizational work land. A TPM owns the outcome across teams that do not report to each other, holds the dependencies nobody else is holding, and makes progress visible without pushing reporting overhead onto the teams doing the work. TPMs are not just stenographers or status chasers, but end-to-end problem solvers from discovery -> execution. As a jack or jill of all traits, TPMs get the job done no matter the hurdles in their way.
As the Infrastructure TPM, you will own the programs that span capacity, reliability, identity, builder tools, and corporate IT. Your partners are Infrastructure Engineering, IT, Security, and the factory and engineering teams that depend on them. You will join a small TPM function that is still defining how it works. From managing capacity to transforming our AI development process, you will be at the heart of platform initiatives that improve the company’s operations.
Capacity: Own the capacity process from forecasting through ordering to provisioning, across factories, offices, and engineering.
Reliability: Mature the reliability program: incident management, RCA reviews, and action item tracking across the company.
Builder tools: Drive adoption of the builder tool suite that puts AI into how Hadrian designs, writes, reviews, and ships software.
Identity and access: Own account, access, and device lifecycle as headcount and sites grow.
Function building: Help define what TPM means at Hadrian, leading by example.
5+ years in technical program management, including several owning infrastructure programs at the scale of a domain rather than a workstream inside one.
Hands-on experience with hardware procurement and provisioning.
Experience driving programs end-to-end from 0 → 1. You are not just a facilitator, but a complete owner end-to-end.
Strong written communication favoring asynchronous updates over synchronous meetings.
Able to influence without authority across functions and teams both within and external to your domain.
Able to balance planning with long lead times with company-wide strategic pivots.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Willingness to travel. New locations are being spun up, and site walks may be necessary to understand hardware needs.
Knows how to uplevel themselves using AI without dumping slop on their stakeholders.
Knows how to bring efficiency over process for process' sake. Doing this requires a broad toolkit vs always bringing a hammer regardless of the problem context.
Experience in mixed hardware/software environments such as aerospace, defense, automotive, semiconductor, or another regulated, high-precision manufacturing environment.
Extreme comfort with ambiguity and minimal direction. You balance analysis paralysis with data gathering and ask questions as you go to ensure you are working on the right work in the right way.
Technically fluent enough to influence design discussions in the domain (kubernetes, networking, pipelines, etc).
For this role, the target salary range is $164,000 - $243,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
We're looking for a hands-on qualification engineer who can take additive manufacturing systems from installed equipment to qualified, production-released capability. The core of this role is IQ and OQ: authoring and executing the protocols that prove out our metal and polymer printers, qualifying the software and firmware toolchain that drives them, and building the qualification data packages our Army, Navy, and aerospace prime customers audit against. Performance qualification (PQ) sits with Materials & Process and Application Engineering — this role gives them a qualified machine and a defensible data baseline to build on. Based in Torrance, CA with travel to the sites where our machines land, including Red River Army Depot in Texas.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Qualification Execution and Ownership: Author, execute, and close out IQ and OQ protocols for all AM systems — metal powder bed fusion, polymer platforms, and supporting equipment — with documented traceability from installation through production release. Support Materials & Process and Application Engineering on PQ by supplying the qualified equipment baseline, protocol structure, and machine capability data their performance qualifications rest on. Own the qualification impact assessment for every engineering change.
Commissioning, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), and Site Acceptance Test (SAT): Execute the Hadrian FAT and SAT playbook for incoming AM equipment, adapting it to the conditions of each receiving site — from Torrance to government depot facilities — coordinating OEM field engineers and driving open items to resolution before production release.
Software and Firmware Qualification: Qualify the AM software toolchain — build prep and slicing, simulation, machine firmware, data management — including version control, change management, and regression testing on every revision. Maintain configuration control across the fleet and partner with IT and Security on accreditation of networked machine controllers under NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC.
Metal and Polymer Platform Qualification: Qualify both metal and polymer platforms, adapting protocols to the distinct subsystems, failure modes, environmental controls, and acceptance criteria each technology demands.
Capability Studies and Statistical Rigor: Design and run machine capability and equivalence studies — build repeatability, machine-to-machine and layer-to-layer consistency, positional effects across the build plate, and Cpk analysis against drawing tolerances.
Metrology System Qualification for AM: Qualify the metrology systems that generate acceptance evidence — CMMs, structured light and laser scanning, dimensional CT, surface texture. Own gauge R&R and MSA, calibration traceability, and equipment acceptance per ISO 10360. Establish datum and fixturing strategy for as-built AM surfaces and qualify scan-to-CAD comparison methods.
Material and Feedstock Qualification: Partner with Materials & Process on powder and polymer lot acceptance, reuse and recycling controls, storage and handling per AMS7002, and witness coupon strategy. Support safe powder handling with EHS, including combustible dust (NFPA 484) and inert gas controls.
Data Packages, Audits, and Customer Interface: Build and defend qualification data packages satisfying Army/TACOM and DLA source approval, US Navy, NIAR/NCAMP, AMS7032, ISO/ASTM 52920, and prime requirements — including first article testing and TDPs per MIL-STD-31000. Serve as qualification interface to depot and government stakeholders, DCMA, and Nadcap and prime auditors.
Operator and Personnel Qualification: Define and maintain operator training, certification, and requalification records across Hadrian sites, meeting Nadcap AC7110/14 and customer audit expectations.
Structured Problem-Solving and Corrective Action: Lead structured problem-solving on qualification failures and process escapes using 8D, 5 Whys, and fishbone, driving CAPA to verified closure.
Cross-Functional Execution: Partner tightly with AM, Materials & Process, Manufacturing Engineering, Software, Quality, and Operations to keep protocols executable and scalable, feeding lessons learned from each deployment site back into the Hadrian qualification standard.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS:
Direct experience qualifying metal AM equipment to AMS7032, ISO/ASTM TS 52930, ISO/ASTM 52920, or NIAR/NCAMP and US Navy AM requirements.
Experience supporting PQ alongside materials, process, or application engineering teams.
Experience measuring as-built additive surfaces and performing scan-to-CAD comparison.
Defense depot, government-owned facility, or A&D production environment background; Nadcap AC7110/14 or AS9100 experience.
Familiarity with government part qualification pathways — Army/TACOM or DLA source approval, first article testing, TDP development per MIL-STD-31000.
Experience standing up qualification from scratch at a new site rather than inheriting a mature system.
COMPENSATION:
For this role, the target salary range is $150,000 - $220,000 (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.

","descriptionPlain":"HADRIAN - MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE\n\nHadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.\n\n\nFollowing our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.\n\n\nBacked by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.\n\n\nIf you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.\n\n\n\nWe're looking for a hands-on qualification engineer who can take additive manufacturing systems from installed equipment to qualified, production-released capability. The core of this role is IQ and OQ: authoring and executing the protocols that prove out our metal and polymer printers, qualifying the software and firmware toolchain that drives them, and building the qualification data packages our Army, Navy, and aerospace prime customers audit against. Performance qualification (PQ) sits with Materials & Process and Application Engineering — this role gives them a qualified machine and a defensible data baseline to build on. Based in Torrance, CA with travel to the sites where our machines land, including Red River Army Depot in Texas.\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES:\n\n - Qualification Execution and Ownership: Author, execute, and close out IQ and OQ protocols for all AM systems — metal powder bed fusion, polymer platforms, and supporting equipment — with documented traceability from installation through production release. Support Materials & Process and Application Engineering on PQ by supplying the qualified equipment baseline, protocol structure, and machine capability data their performance qualifications rest on. Own the qualification impact assessment for every engineering change.\n\n - Commissioning, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), and Site Acceptance Test (SAT): Execute the Hadrian FAT and SAT playbook for incoming AM equipment, adapting it to the conditions of each receiving site — from Torrance to government depot facilities — coordinating OEM field engineers and driving open items to resolution before production release.\n\n - Software and Firmware Qualification: Qualify the AM software toolchain — build prep and slicing, simulation, machine firmware, data management — including version control, change management, and regression testing on every revision. Maintain configuration control across the fleet and partner with IT and Security on accreditation of networked machine controllers under NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC.\n\n - Metal and Polymer Platform Qualification: Qualify both metal and polymer platforms, adapting protocols to the distinct subsystems, failure modes, environmental controls, and acceptance criteria each technology demands.\n\n - Capability Studies and Statistical Rigor: Design and run machine capability and equivalence studies — build repeatability, machine-to-machine and layer-to-layer consistency, positional effects across the build plate, and Cpk analysis against drawing tolerances.\n\n - Metrology System Qualification for AM: Qualify the metrology systems that generate acceptance evidence — CMMs, structured light and laser scanning, dimensional CT, surface texture. Own gauge R&R and MSA, calibration traceability, and equipment acceptance per ISO 10360. Establish datum and fixturing strategy for as-built AM surfaces and qualify scan-to-CAD comparison methods.\n\n - Material and Feedstock Qualification: Partner with Materials & Process on powder and polymer lot acceptance, reuse and recycling controls, storage and handling per AMS7002, and witness coupon strategy. Support safe powder handling with EHS, including combustible dust (NFPA 484) and inert gas controls.\n\n - Data Packages, Audits, and Customer Interface: Build and defend qualification data packages satisfying Army/TACOM and DLA source approval, US Navy, NIAR/NCAMP, AMS7032, ISO/ASTM 52920, and prime requirements — including first article testing and TDPs per MIL-STD-31000. Serve as qualification interface to depot and government stakeholders, DCMA, and Nadcap and prime auditors.\n\n - Operator and Personnel Qualification: Define and maintain operator training, certification, and requalification records across Hadrian sites, meeting Nadcap AC7110/14 and customer audit expectations.\n\n - Structured Problem-Solving and Corrective Action: Lead structured problem-solving on qualification failures and process escapes using 8D, 5 Whys, and fishbone, driving CAPA to verified closure.\n\n - Cross-Functional Execution: Partner tightly with AM, Materials & Process, Manufacturing Engineering, Software, Quality, and Operations to keep protocols executable and scalable, feeding lessons learned from each deployment site back into the Hadrian qualification standard.\n\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS:\n\n - Direct experience qualifying metal AM equipment to AMS7032, ISO/ASTM TS 52930, ISO/ASTM 52920, or NIAR/NCAMP and US Navy AM requirements.\n\n - Experience supporting PQ alongside materials, process, or application engineering teams.\n\n - Experience measuring as-built additive surfaces and performing scan-to-CAD comparison.\n\n - Defense depot, government-owned facility, or A&D production environment background; Nadcap AC7110/14 or AS9100 experience.\n\n - Familiarity with government part qualification pathways — Army/TACOM or DLA source approval, first article testing, TDP development per MIL-STD-31000.\n\n - Experience standing up qualification from scratch at a new site rather than inheriting a mature system.\n\nCOMPENSATION:\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $150,000 - $220,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).\n\nThis 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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
In this role, you’ll translate the electrical needs of our production equipment into real, permitted, built facilities. You’ll shape early power and electrical requirements driven by equipment selection and operational flow, inform site selection, and lead electrical schematic design through to construction. You’ll be Hadrian’s primary point of contact with our external Architect and General Contractor partners communicating requirements, driving coordination between disciplines, reviewing and verifying drawings, and resolving electrical design issues before they reach the field.
This is a role for someone who makes forward progress through ambiguity, takes smart calculated risks, and treats schedule and budget as real design constraints. Ultimately, you’ll partner closely with engineering to intake requirements and turn them into a built reality on schedule and on budget.
Electrical Requirements Partnership: Intake electrical facility requirements from engineering, often driven by production equipment selection and operational flow. Lead the development of the electrical scope simultaneously, from initial concept evaluations to the completion of construction drawings for permitting and on-site execution, ensuring a smooth translation from design to real-world field conditions.
Schedule & Problem Solving: Strategically identify critical path items relating to the electrical design, procurement, and construction phases. Manage the critical path and any blockers. Apply first-principles thinking to recover lost time and protect delivery milestones.
Design Collaboration: Collaborate closely with manufacturing, construction, facilities, and cross-disciplinary teams to address end-user requirements, resolve integration challenges, and coordinate electrical systems against architectural, structural, and mechanical designs so everything stays compatible with the design intent.
Design Feedback: Participate in design reviews for current and future phases. Translate field conditions into constructability and sequencing feedback before they become costly problems.
Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Professional licensure (PE preferred), or clear progress toward it.
5+ years of experience in electrical facility or building-systems design.
Experience designing for new manufacturing or production facilities, ideally in environments with engineering and production complexity comparable to Hadrian’s.
Working knowledge of electrical codes and standards (e.g., NEC/NFPA 70, IBC) and power distribution for industrial facilities.
Proficiency with Procore or an equivalent construction management platform.
Willingness to travel up to 25%.
Experience in highly regulated or high-consequence industries (nuclear, energy, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing).
Excellent interpersonal skills for interfacing with diverse engineering disciplines, stakeholders, and external partners to foster collaborative problem-solving.
Practical knowledge of field installation methods, means, and materials, including troubleshooting real-world constructability issues and adapting designs for on-site efficiency.
Exposure to design-for-construction or design-for-operations efforts.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
At Hadrian, the workplace is a critical enabler of speed, focus, and execution. As the company grows rapidly across multiple locations, we need an experienced leader who can design, build, and scale the workplace services function that supports our teams. This role focuses on the environments where our people work every day, including offices, shared spaces, physical security, and non machine related workplace infrastructure at manufacturing sites.
We are hiring a Workplace Operations Manager to establish and lead the workplace services function at Hadrian. This role is responsible for setting strategy and overseeing the programs and vendors that keep our workplaces running smoothly.
This is a critical role for someone who can operate at the systems level, move fast, and create structure while the company is scaling aggressively.
Vendor & Service Management
Own vendor relationships: Manage the day-to-day performance of janitorial, reception, food & beverage, pantry, waste management, and other outsourced service partners.
Hold partners to SLAs: Set clear scopes of work and service-level expectations, and enforce them through regular check-ins, site walkthroughs, and performance reviews.
Source and onboard vendors: Support RFPs, vendor selection, contracting, and onboarding as services scale across sites.
Be the escalation point: Serve as the first call when a service issue arises and drive it to fast resolution.
Workplace Experience & Daily Operations
Keep the workplace running: Ensure the space is clean, stocked, staffed, and guest-ready every day so employees and visitors have a seamless experience.
Run the F&B and pantry programs: Oversee catering, pantry stocking, and food & beverage offerings, balancing employee experience against cost.
Own front-of-house: Ensure a professional, welcoming reception and visitor experience.
Manage waste & sustainability: Oversee waste, recycling, and compost programs and keep them compliant and efficient.
Budget, Standards & Performance
Manage budgets and invoices: Track service budgets, review and approve vendor invoices, and flag variances early.
Measure and improve: Build simple metrics on cost, quality, and satisfaction, and use them to continuously raise the bar.
Standardize and document: Create repeatable playbooks, SOPs, and service standards so quality holds consistent as the company grows.
Partner cross-functionally: Work with the Director of Workplace Services, People, EHS, and Security to align operations with business needs.
Office Fitouts & FF&E
Represent Workplace Services in design and construction meetings: Sit in with architects, general contractors, subcontractors, and project managers to represent operational and end-user needs throughout fitout projects.
Own FF&E execution: Help drive furniture, fixtures & equipment selection, placement, and installation from planning through delivery and setup.
Coordinate on-site logistics: Manage delivery scheduling, staging, and vendor access so installations land on time and in the right sequence.
Track scope and punch lists: Keep FF&E registers, installation schedules, and punch lists current, and follow issues through to closeout.
Ensure day-one readiness: Confirm spaces are fully outfitted, functional, and move-in ready before handoff to employees.
Manage purchase orders: Create, track, and reconcile POs for vendor services and FF&E — ensuring accurate coding, timely approvals, and clean matching against invoices and receipts.
Operations experience: 5+ years in workplace services, facilities, hospitality, or operations, including day-to-day oversight of outsourced services.
Vendor management: Proven track record holding service providers (janitorial, F&B, reception, waste, or similar) accountable to scopes of work and SLAs.
Financial ownership: Experience with service budgets, PO creation and reconciliation, and invoice review against contract pricing.
People & partner leadership: 2+ years leading teams and/or managing vendor performance.
Fitouts & FF&E: Comfort in design/construction meetings and coordinating furniture, fixtures & equipment through installation; ability to read construction drawings a plus.
Systems: Proficiency with MS 365 (Excel) and a work-order/CMMS or ticketing platform.
Service mindset: Strong communication, organization, and the ability to juggle competing priorities.
You've built from zero, not just maintained: You've stood up workplace or vendor programs from scratch and scaled them across a fast-growing or multi-site footprint — comfortable with ambiguity and a rapidly moving environment.
You bridge the shop floor and the front of house: You can deliver a white-glove experience for executives and VIP guests while being equally at home on an active manufacturing floor — fluent in PPE, safety, and production cadence.
You operate with mission and discretion: You're energized by Hadrian's mission to reindustrialize American aerospace and defense manufacturing, and you bring the confidentiality and visitor-security awareness that a defense-adjacent facility demands.
For this role, the target salary range is 140,000 - 165,000 (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.

As Director, you lead the Forward Deployed team across one or more programs and are responsible for their technical outcomes. You will oversee the technical aspects of a program larger than most startups ever experience, working directly with government representatives, customers, and Hadrian’s leadership teams.
The team is in its early stages, and the scope is rapidly expanding with Hadrian. Directors will play a key role in scaling the Forward Deployed team and leading multi-billion-dollar programs.
Own the technical roadmap and delivery. Take the program from the first ambiguous conversation to running in production; decide what Opus covers, what gets built, and what we say no to; and hold the team to a very high execution bar. The program hits rate, quality, schedule, and cost, in part because the software and systems behind it work; you own that part.
Bring program learnings to platform teams. Share program learnings at Hadrian to improve the product for all customers and decide which Forward Deployed products should become part of Opus.
Own the executive relationship on the technical side. Be the primary technical contact for customer program leadership, government stakeholders, and prime partners. Run technical reviews, have the hard conversations about scope and schedule yourself, and make the call when scope, schedule, and platform leverage pull against each other and the commercial stakes are real.
Build and lead the team. Hire and grow the engineers, product managers, and designers on your program. You set the standard for how they work, and they bring you their hardest scoping calls.
Stay hands-on. Early in a program, that can mean building the v0 yourself. Later, it means reviewing what your team ships closely enough to ensure it meets Hadrian’s quality bar.
What We're Looking For
Highly commercial technical leaders with excellent product judgment.
You have a demonstrated history leading engineering and product teams and scaling a product from zero to one.
You are strong with external and internal executives. You have owned senior customer relationships and made commitments on behalf of a company that you then had to deliver on.
You have product taste. You know what’s worth building and what good looks like for the user, and you’ve shipped end-to-end enough times to back that up.
You are hands-on technical. You are just as comfortable supporting your team with architecture and review as you are taking your own idea from design to delivery.
You are AI-native and relentless about it. You use AI to compress everything from discovery to execution, you can show us concretely how it already makes you multiples faster, and you’ve rebuilt how your whole team works around it.
You have hired builders into ambiguous roles and got them productive fast.
You are driven by the mission and the tempo. Rebuilding the industrial base matters to you, and you want to deliver at the pace our customers need.
What Will Set You Apart
Founder or founding-team experience, especially if you managed customer relationships and business decisions while still building.
Background in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or anywhere hardware, software, and operations intersect.
Forward-deployed or solutions leadership at a product company.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Much of the technical data behind US defense systems is decades old: scanned paper, hand-marked prints, and drawings that were never turned into 3D models. Hadrian is building a team to turn that data into modern, manufacturing-ready models and drawings. Customers can then keep their systems running, and those parts can be quoted, made at Hadrian, or procured.
The team supports multiple defense programs that need this work now. The first priority is a large, multi-year technical data migration for a defense customer. The team works alongside Hadrian's software to convert each technical data package and confirm it is right before it goes to the customer.
As Director, you build and run that operation, growing it from a small founding team into a large organization. You report to the Senior Director of Central Quality and NPI.
Build the operating model for each program, starting with the migration: the standard workflow, the training, and the quality controls that confirm each package matches its source data before it goes to the customer.
Work with the software team so the process and the automation tools improve together, and the manual effort per package keeps falling.
Plan and run the hiring ramp: sourcing, location, training, and retention.
Balance capacity across programs, track throughput and quality against each program's schedule, and fix the bottleneck.
Hire and develop the leaders who run the team day to day.
Meet each program's data-handling rules while keeping the quality call.
How Success Is Measured
Throughput. Technical data packages delivered each month against each program's plan.
Quality. Share of packages the customer accepts on first submission, and errors found after delivery.
Ramp. Hires on plan, time for a new hire to reach full output, and retention.
The Team
You start with a small team of engineers and specialists who define the process. Headcount rises quickly as the migration ramps and more programs come on, and the team is expected to divide into separate groups.
Conversion Engineers. Define the process, work with the software team on the automation, and check the work.
Conversion Specialists. Convert technical data packages using Hadrian's software, and check the output.
CAD Modelers. Build 3D models from 2D drawings when no model exists, for programs across Hadrian.
Built and ran a high-volume technical operation, such as production, engineering services, or drawing conversion, and grew it to 50 or more people.
Hired and trained people quickly, and kept them engaged in repetitive work.
Runs an operation on throughput and quality data.
3+ years leading other leaders.
Enough engineering-drawing depth to own the quality bar, including GD&T and model-based definition.
You raise problems early and make decisions without waiting for full consensus.
Engineering or STEM degree, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Built a team from the ground up at a startup or a fast-growing company.
Ran a large legacy-to-modern technical data or PLM migration, including the team and its throughput.
Worked alongside a software team to automate a manual engineering process.
Teamcenter or CATIA experience.
Naval, submarine, or federal technical data program experience.
For this role, the target salary range is $200,000 - $240,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Hadrian is building and expanding factories and offices across the country. We're looking for a Technical Field Engineer to be the hands-on lead who gets a new site ready for people to work. You'll stage and install infrastructure hardware, kit out offices with workstations and conference rooms, configure AV systems and Windows and Linux devices, and manage low-voltage and electrical vendors on site, spotting mistakes and directing corrections before we accept the work.
You'll work as a pair with our IT Infrastructure Project Manager, Site Buildouts. The PM owns requirements, design, budget, vendor contracts, and the overall schedule. You own execution on the ground: getting hardware installed, managing the trades day to day on an active construction site, and proving that what was designed actually works. You're the PM's eyes and hands on site, and what you learn in the field shapes the standards for the next build.
You'll also work closely with our infrastructure and network engineers. They configure the network and server equipment; you rack, power, cable, and patch it, give them hands on site during turn-up, and know enough networking to help find and fix problems fast. You'll also work alongside Factory Development as machinery goes in, and with the central IT and helpdesk teams who will run the site after handoff.
We expect you to automate what you can. You'll write scripts to make device setup repeatable, and use AI tools every day to work faster and smarter.
This is a full-time, hands-on, travel-heavy role based at our Torrance, CA HQ or our Mesa, AZ factory. It reports to David Chen, Director of IT.
What You'll Do
Deployment Planning & Staging
Turn an approved design and bill of materials into a hands-on deployment plan: install sequence, staging, and cutover steps
Receive, inventory, and stage hardware; image and prepare workstations and devices before they go to site
Manage shipping and receiving of IT materials across sites and keep asset inventory accurate
Installation & Office Kit-Out
Rack, mount, and power network and server equipment in MDFs and IDFs, including UPSs and PDUs, and support infrastructure and network engineers on site as they configure and bring it online
Patch and connect network, server, endpoint, and AV hardware over copper and fiber, following port maps and labeling standards
Kit out offices: install workstations, monitors, docks, printers, and peripherals so people can sit down and work on Day 1
Configure and deploy Windows and Linux devices, including workstations, shop-floor PCs, and kiosks, using Hadrian's MDM and provisioning tools
Install, configure, and test conference room and AV systems (Teams Rooms, Logitech, Crestron, Q-SYS, or similar)
Work with integrators and Security to install and connect cameras, access control, and other security devices
Line up daily deployment work with Factory Development as machinery is installed
On-Site Vendor Management & Inspection
Manage low-voltage and electrical vendors on site day to day: watch work as it happens, spot mistakes early, and direct corrections in the field within the scope the PM has set
Inspect the final work of cable technicians and electricians before acceptance: terminations, labeling, cable dressing, fiber and copper test results, rack grounding, UPS and rack power, and outlets at workstations and equipment
Log deficiencies on a punch list and verify fixes before sign-off
Serve as the on-site IT point of contact between PM site visits, coordinating daily with trades and integrators on access, sequencing, and handoffs
Flag anything that changes scope, cost, or schedule to the PM in real time, with photos and notes
Validation & Go-Live
Validate connectivity, wireless coverage, AV, and endpoints with the network and infrastructure engineers
Troubleshoot drops, patching, PoE, and basic connectivity issues, and escalate configuration issues to the right engineer
Enforce Hadrian's security tooling on deployed devices (EDR, MDM, and IAM), and support CMMC Level 2 and CUI handling at applicable sites
Provide hands-on support at go-live and through the first weeks of operation, then hand off cleanly to local and central IT
Automation & AI
Write and maintain PowerShell, Bash, and Python scripts to automate device provisioning, configuration, and post-install validation checks, and keep them version-controlled in Git
Use AI tools in your daily work to write and debug scripts, troubleshoot issues, and draft runbooks and documentation faster
Field Documentation
Capture field data as you build (photos, red-lines, rack elevations, port maps, and device records) so the PM can finalize the as-built record in Confluence
Write and maintain deployment runbooks and playbooks, and feed field lessons back into the PM's standards and templates
What We're Looking For
6+ years of hands-on IT deployment, field engineering, or desktop and AV support experience
Hands-on experience racking, mounting, powering, and patching equipment in MDFs, IDFs, or data centers
Strong knowledge of Ethernet (Cat6/Cat6A) and fiber (single-mode and multimode) cabling, connectors, patching, and testing
Working knowledge of power for IT: UPSs, PDUs, circuits, and outlet and receptacle types
Understanding of how low-voltage and electrical trades do their work, enough to spot mistakes, direct corrections, and inspect and accept their work
Comfortable navigating an active construction site safely, with experience managing vendors on site
Able to read blueprints and construction and low-voltage drawings, install to plan, and red-line changes
Solid networking knowledge (VLANs, DHCP, DNS, PoE, and Wi-Fi) and the ability to troubleshoot connectivity and work closely with network engineers
Experience configuring and imaging Windows and Linux devices, and managing endpoints with Intune, Mosyle, or FleetDM, plus familiarity with Okta and EDR tooling
Solid scripting skills in PowerShell, Bash, and Python. You've automated real deployment or provisioning work, not just run other people's scripts
Comfortable with Git for version control and Visual Studio or VS Code for writing and debugging code
Use AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot) as part of your daily workflow, with good judgment about checking outputs and following data-handling rules
Experience setting up and configuring conference room and AV systems
Experience kitting out offices: workstations, peripherals, printers, and meeting rooms
Strong field documentation habits: photos, red-lines, rack elevations, and runbooks
High degree of independence and ownership. You raise issues early and drive them to resolution without waiting to be asked
Comfortable operating as a mobile extension of a distributed team
Manufacturing or industrial environment experience strongly preferred
What Will Set You Apart
Experience standing up greenfield sites or new offices
Experience deploying IT for manufacturing or production lines (OT, shop-floor devices) alongside machinery installs
Hands-on experience with access control, video surveillance (VMS), and building sensor platforms such as Verkada or Genetec
Certifications such as CompTIA A+ or Network+, AVIXA CTS, Crestron or Q-SYS, BICSI Installer or Technician, or FOA CFOT
Prior work as a low-voltage technician, cable installer, or electrician
Experience building AI-assisted workflows or agents to automate IT tasks
Aerial lift or forklift certification, or OSHA 10/30
CMMC, ITAR, and CUI handling experience
Physical & Operational Requirements
Based at our Torrance, CA HQ or Mesa, AZ factory, with extensive travel to sites, roughly 50%+ depending on project phase
Ability to lift and move networking and IT equipment (~50 lbs), climb ladders, and work from lifts
Comfortable working in data centers, equipment rooms, active construction zones, and manufacturing floors, wearing required PPE and following site safety rules
Occasional after-hours and weekend work during go-lives and cutovers
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $124,000- $174,000 (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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
We are seeking a hands-on Facility Engineer to support the construction, equipment installation, commissioning, startup, and long-term operation of a large-scale advanced manufacturing facility.
This position will serve as a key technical interface between Facilities, Construction, Engineering, equipment teams, contractors, and operations. The Facility Engineer will provide field-level engineering oversight of facility infrastructure and utility installations while ensuring systems are installed safely, correctly, and in accordance with design requirements and company standards.
During the facility startup phase, a significant portion of this role will focus on supporting equipment move-in, coordinating utility requirements, inspecting contractor installations, verifying installation quality, resolving field issues, and ensuring systems are ready for commissioning and production.
As the facility transitions into full operation, the position will shift toward system ownership, reliability, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and capital project support.
Key Responsibilities
Provide engineering oversight for facility infrastructure and critical utility systems supporting manufacturing operations.
Support equipment move-in and installation by coordinating facility utility requirements, connection points, schedules, contractor activities, and system readiness.
Review and verify contractor installation of process water, compressed air, industrial gases, plumbing, HVAC, mechanical piping, and other facility utility systems.
Identify installation deficiencies before systems are placed into service and coordinate corrective actions with contractors and project teams.
Participate in system walkdowns, punch-list development, commissioning, startup, testing, and turnover activities.
Support construction-to-operations turnover and ensure appropriate documentation, drawings, equipment information, and maintenance requirements are captured.
Coordinate closely with electrical, mechanical, controls, construction, manufacturing, and equipment engineering teams.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
This person leads execution of Hadrian’s capital markets activity, with a primary emphasis on debt capital markets. They will translate Hadrian’s operational and financial needs (new factories, machine capex, working capital, and growth) into well-structured, executable financing transactions across both corporate and asset-backed contexts, and drive those transactions from structuring through diligence, negotiation, and close. They will own relationships with banks, private credit funds, and other debt capital providers, and partner closely with the CFO, SVP of Capital Markets, Treasury, FP&A, and Legal to align financing strategy with liquidity planning, capital allocation, and long-term planning. The role is explicitly outward-facing and execution-focused, operates comfortably in non-standard situations where Hadrian’s model does not fit traditional corporate lending frameworks, and will grow into building out the capital markets function as Hadrian’s financing cadence scales.
What You’ll Do
Lead end-to-end execution of debt transactions (credit facilities, term loans, private credit, equipment and facility financing, and structured debt) from initial structuring through diligence, negotiation, and closing.
Structure financing solutions across corporate and asset-backed contexts, tailored to Hadrian’s operating model, including equipment finance, receivables facilities, sale-leasebacks, project-level debt, and government-backed loans.
Own lender engagement and process management: build and manage relationships with banks, private credit funds, and institutional lenders; run competitive financing processes and coordinate diligence.
Lead term sheet negotiation, documentation, and closing in partnership with Legal, outside counsel, and finance leadership, with a clear point of view on pricing, covenants, security, and flexibility trade-offs.
Drive speed, certainty, and flexibility in capital access by proactively developing financing capacity and options ahead of need.
Partner with the CFO, SVP of Capital Markets, Treasury, and FP&A to align financing strategy with liquidity planning, cash forecasting, capital allocation priorities, and the operating plan.
Own the capital structure, debt capacity, and credit / downside models that underpin financing decisions, and set the standard for the team’s analytical work.
Present financing strategy and recommendations to the CFO, SVP of Capital Markets, Exec team, and Board; prepare lender and investor materials for live processes.
Oversee lender reporting and credit agreement compliance (compliance certificates, borrowing base and covenant calculations), and manage ongoing amendments, waivers, and upsizes.
Monitor debt and equity capital markets across A&D, industrials, and defense tech to benchmark Hadrian’s terms and identify windows of opportunity.
Mentor and develop analysts and associates on the team, and help build out the capital markets function as it scales, including future rating agency engagement and public-market readiness.
6–8+ years of experience in leveraged finance, debt capital markets, private credit, project finance, investment banking or structured finance, or in a corporate-side capital markets role.
Significant experience executing debt transactions end to end, including structuring, diligence, documentation, and closing.
Strong understanding of credit analysis, capital structures, and lender dynamics, including pricing, covenants, security packages, and key credit agreement terms.
Experience working directly with banks, direct lenders, and private credit funds, and the ability to independently drive complex, external-facing processes under tight timelines.
Advanced financial modeling skills with a focus on credit and downside analysis.
Strong judgment in structuring and negotiating complex transactions, with the presence to represent Hadrian in front of lenders, investors, and the Board.
High ownership and accountability for external execution, a bias toward action, and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving situations.
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.
Experience in structured or asset-backed financing (e.g., equipment finance, receivables facilities, project-based debt, sale-leasebacks).
Experience in capital-intensive or operationally complex industries (e.g., aerospace, defense, manufacturing, infrastructure).
Familiarity with government contracting environments (FAR, CAS, DCAA, contract types) and how they shape cash flow and credit profile.
Familiarity with government financing programs (e.g., DoD Office of Strategic Capital, DPA Title III, state and local incentives) and how they fit into a capital stack.
Experience with equity, convertible, and hybrid instruments, and evaluating debt vs. dilution trade-offs.
Experience building or scaling a capital markets or treasury function at a high-growth company.
An established network across the bank, private credit, and defense / space / manufacturing investor ecosystem.
For this role, the target salary range is $200,000 - $230,000 (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 a team that converts decades-old technical data, scanned and hand-marked prints and the requirements behind them, into model-based definition. Hadrian's software does much of the conversion, and engineers review and complete what it produces.
As a Manufacturing Engineer, MBD, you do this work by hand on the hardest packages. What you learn shapes the software and the process the team runs on. Senior engineers in this role set the definition standard and work with the software team on what the tool must handle.
Work through customer packages across welding, assembly, NDT, and machining requirements, and author them onto the model as linked MBD.
Review what Hadrian's software produces, correct it, and report each class of error to the software team.
Help define the standard workflow and its quality checks, so a larger team can run the work in the software.
Review other engineers' output against the definition standard.
Train the engineers and specialists who join the team.
3+ years of industry experience in CAD modeling, with work centered on drawings and product definition: MBD authoring, drawing checking, or legacy-data conversion.
Reads messy legacy prints across welding, assembly, NDT, and machining callouts, including weld and NDT symbols per AWS A2.4, and resolves ambiguity against the specifications and engineering reports the print references.
GD&T to ASME Y14.5 and MBD/PMI to Y14.41, enough to author a definition that manufacturing and inspection can work from directly.
Experience in Teamcenter or a comparable PLM system, including assembly structure, part numbering, and release workflows.
Can review another engineer's work and turn a recurring error into a check that prevents it.
Deep Teamcenter experience, including how product definition is structured and governed in it.
Wrote requirements that a software team built against, as the tool's expert user.
CATIA or NX experience, including a legacy-to-PLM migration such as CATIA to Teamcenter.
Defined a process that a larger team then ran, in a fast, low-process environment.
Submarine, naval, or defense-program drawing experience.

What You'll Do
As Hadrian's first product marketer you will drive how the market understands what we build and the impact it has. You'll work closely with Brand, Federal, Sales, Recruiting, and Hadrian leadership. This is a new function that you will have the opportunity to help shape from the ground up.
Set the positioning for every Hadrian offering: what we call it, who it’s for, and why it beats the alternatives. Embed with our engineers and customers until you can make the technical case to a customer’s engineering team as well as their executives.
Translate technical differentiation into mission impact. Write the copy and make the media that show what our offerings do and why they matter. Find the proof in schedule, quality, and throughput, keeping positioning connected to customer results.
Equip every team that carries Hadrian's story with the narratives, competitive positioning, and product demos they need. Run win/loss reviews with Sales and share what you learn with Product to sharpen the story.
Build the product marketing team: hire the specialists who join you, and develop a bench of design, video, and writing contractors you can call on.
What We're Looking For
You've defined positioning and go to market for technically complex products. For most people that means 8+ years, but we care more about what you've owned than how long you've been doing it. You learn complex systems quickly and turn them into clear, credible narratives. Engineers trust your technical explanations, whether they work here or at a customer. Your path may run through product marketing, technical marketing, engineering, or technical design.
You use AI every day to move faster on research, writing, design, and production. Be ready to walk us through a workflow you rebuilt with AI and what it changed.
High agency builder. You've been first or early in a function, found what was missing, and built it without waiting for a brief. You have a portfolio of work you personally made and can tell us which parts were yours.
Driven by the mission and the tempo. Rebuilding the industrial base matters to you, and you care about shipping at the pace our customers and teams need.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, robotics, or industrial hardware, including selling to government customers or large primes.
You write sharp copy and design strong slides, diagrams, and product graphics yourself, and you have the taste to direct designers and video editors when the work calls for a specialist.
A background in engineering, industrial design, or technical design.
A track record of content and positioning you can tie to business outcomes, such as pipeline, closed deals, or hires.
Video editing, motion design, or 3D skills.
Experience hiring contractors and growing a team around your work.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

The Role
The Manufacturing Engineer - Factory Development plays a critical role in advancing our manufacturing capabilities through strategic project management, system building, and innovative problem-solving. This individual is tasked with identifying and tackling high-priority operational and technical challenges, deploying systematic solutions, and driving the introduction of new processes and assets to support rapid scaling of production. This role demands a combination of technical expertise, project management acumen, and an unwavering commitment to uncovering true, pragmatic solutions that address the root of problems.
What You’ll Do
Project Execution: Take ownership of critical projects from inception to completion. This involves diving into complex operational or technical challenges, conducting thorough analysis, and deploying effective solutions. Projects will vary from current operational optimizations to the resolution of intricate technical issues requiring robust solutions.
Root Cause Analysis: When faced with complex problems, perform detailed root cause analysis to understand the underlying issues. Lead the team towards implementing real, sustainable solutions rather than temporary fixes. This requires a systematic approach to problem-solving and a deep technical understanding of manufacturing processes.
System Building: Play a pivotal role in identifying areas within the factory that require immediate systematic improvements. Lead the development of early, pragmatic solutions that not only address current operational inefficiencies but also lay the groundwork for future software development. By creating these initial solutions, you will provide valuable insights that directly inform the direction and priorities of longer-term technological advancements.
Asset and Process Introduction: As part of our rapid scaling efforts, lead the redesign of existing processes and the introduction of new processes and assets. This entails full process design and implementation to significantly increase production rates and introduce capabilities previously unavailable.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, or a relevant STEM field.
In lieu of a degree, at least 5 years of leadership experience in a high-intensity production environment may be considered.
Hands-on manufacturing experience, with a strong preference for those who have led meaningful projects.
Experience in developing and implementing production processes/systems in a high-growth environment.
Proven track record of project execution in a manufacturing setting.
Demonstrated proficiency in solving deep technical or operations problems.
Ability for occasional travel up to 35% of the time.
What Will Set You Apart
Demonstrated experience with Lean and Six Sigma methodologies.
Experience applying software approaches (SQL, VBA, Python, etc.) is a plus.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
We are in search of senior sales and customer business development professionals with the drive to build strong, value-driven relationships with market leaders that support our growth objectives.
This role reports to the Director of Sales and calls for an experienced strategic enterprise seller — someone with a substantial track record in high-level, strategic sales roles at manufacturing companies who embraces the value of planning, process, and execution against company and customer goals. This person is naturally driven to develop value-based relationships with customer executives, to build and execute co-developed strategic growth plans, and to work cross-functionally with both internal teams and customer stakeholders to deliver against those plans.
Hadrian has strong access to stakeholders at Space and Defense primes, and a clear path to turn proof-of-concept manufacturing at the business-unit level into transformation programs at the corporate executive level. We start with executives who champion strategic supply-chain change, then work throughout the organization to define value, co-develop strategic growth plans, and execute.
Success in this role depends on fluency in how Aerospace and Defense suppliers are qualified and onboarded. The right candidate understands the requirements and cadence behind AS9100 certification, quality audits, and business assessments; the handling and compliance demands of ITAR; and the qualification gates that govern new work, including First Article Inspections (FAIs) and Production Part Approval Processes (PPAPs). They are comfortable navigating multi-year commitments and the contractual flowdowns that accompany defense programs, and they can speak credibly to these topics with both customers and internal teams.
Greenfield opportunity with customers that currently spend $100M–$3B annually at existing vendors we are disrupting
Ability to sell two “products” where we have fundamental speed and cost advantages over legacy competitors
Strong brand awareness and market momentum with natural industry tailwinds
A highly energized, driven, and team-oriented company culture
Equity incentives
An opportunity to help strengthen America’s supply chain and readiness
A proven track record in high-level, strategic sales roles at manufacturing companies, with the technical credibility to build trust around custom, build-to-print, precision manufacturing
Working knowledge of Aerospace and Defense qualification and onboarding — AS9100, quality audits and business assessments, ITAR, First Article Inspections, PPAPs, multi-year commitments, and contractual flowdowns
Experience developing and closing multi-million-dollar contracts with Space and Defense primes and their suppliers
A working model of cross-functional customer planning and process-based strategic enterprise selling
Demonstrated experience working cross-functionally with internal and external stakeholders — from executive leaders to buyers, quality, and design engineers, and across a customer’s own supply-chain, program, and quality organizations
Deep working knowledge of supply chain and precision manufacturing — sufficient to earn technical trust with engineers and executives alike
Hardware, services, and/or infrastructure sales background
High EQ and IQ, with the ability to grasp real customer pain points and opportunities and construct a plan to solution and execute against them
Ability to drive multi-year engagements with customers (e.g., start with one division, then three, then the entire company)
Enjoys a fast-paced, high-expectation environment
A true team player, driven by creating customer and company impact
Strong industry relationships that will support your success at Hadrian
Strong technical acumen and prior experience selling digital, Cloud, ERP, or other large transformation programs into Space / Defense primes
Founder mentality
High EQ
For this role, the target salary range is 175,000 - 215,000 (actual range may vary based on experience) in addition to commission and equity.

By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Growth Finance owns the economics of how Hadrian wins work. We sit at the front end of every program — pricing the pursuit, shaping the deal, and structuring the partnerships and joint ventures that get new capacity off the ground with our commercial and government customers. The Associate is the analytical center of that work. You'll build the model behind a pursuit from a blank sheet: unit economics, capacity and capex requirements, rate and margin structure, and the returns case that determines whether we bid, at what price, and on what terms. You'll pressure-test your own assumptions before anyone else gets the chance, and you'll be expected to have a view — not just a spreadsheet — on whether a program is worth pursuing.
Beyond the model, you'll help structure the vehicles. That means partnership and JV economics, term sheets, waterfall and downside mechanics, and the diligence behind counterparties we're considering taking risk with. You'll write the memo that goes to leadership, and you'll defend it in the room.
This is a small team with a short path to owning deals outright. The work available to you scales with what you demonstrate rather than with tenure. You will work directly with the executive leadership team at Hadrian on some of the company’s most important strategic initiatives.

The Role
Hadrian's Physical Security team protects the people, factories and export-controlled work behind Hadrian's growth. We are opening new factories and facilities at a rapid pace, and every one of them needs security systems designed, built and commissioned to a single standard, so each new site is a standard package and not a new project.
You will own the technology behind Hadrian's physical security program: access control, video surveillance and the systems around them, from security input on construction drawings through installation, commissioning and day-to-day administration. You'll set the standards, run several site builds and platform migrations at the same time, and hold integrators to the work. You'll partner closely with IT, Facilities, Information Security and the Facility Security Officer, and report to the Director of Physical Security. This is an individual contributor role based on site in Torrance, CA, San Francisco, CA or Mesa, AZ, with travel up to 30% to Hadrian sites.
What You’ll Do
Deliver security systems for every new facility on time, from security design input on construction drawings through install and commissioning, working with architects, general contractors and integrators.
Write and own the security systems standards by site type, including door hardware and commissioning requirements, and confirm every system works before a site opens.
Lead the migration of multiple sites to a single enterprise access control platform, and select and roll out a new video management system across every site.
Manage security integrators and systems vendors across several builds at once, holding them to scope, schedule and standard.
Administer and integrate access control, video, visitor management and mass notification systems so they are easy to monitor and ready to support investigations.
Partner with IT, Information Security, Facilities and the Facility Security Officer on networked devices, door schedules and controlled-area requirements.
What We’re Looking For
7+ years designing, deploying or managing enterprise physical security systems, including access control and video management platforms, whether in house or at a security integrator.
Hands-on experience deploying and administering Lenel across an enterprise, multi-site environment.
Experience on construction projects, including reading drawings and working with architects, general contractors and integrators.
A record of holding integrators and contractors accountable, including rejecting work that does not meet spec.
Experience writing system standards, specifications and commissioning procedures that others build to.
Working knowledge of networking and comfort partnering with IT and Information Security teams.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience leading an access control platform migration across multiple sites.
Experience with PSIM platforms or perimeter detection systems.
Aerospace, defense or manufacturing site experience, including designing export-controlled areas.
PSP certification.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Hadrian is looking for a Build Engineer, Large Scale Machining to own how our largest machined parts get made, including castings, forgings, plate weldments, and hull-scale structures. You will own each part from the first design review through qualification, ramp, and handoff to standard production. You are the bridge between the product and Capability Engineering: you interpret the product requirements, drive DFM, establish the build flow and sequence, and hand Capability Engineering a well-defined machining problem to solve.
You will own new product and new process introduction for large machined parts end-to-end. Large parts are where precision gets hard: tight features are spread across multiple setups, and a datum scheme has to survive stress relief, flips, and weld. You set how each part flows through the factory, define the machining processes it needs, and work across Design, Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Tooling, Quality, and Operations to bring it to rate. Decisions made during NPI set the cost, lead time, and quality of these parts for their life, and the processes you introduce become large-format machining capabilities Hadrian uses on the programs that follow.
This role sits on the Build Engineering Commodities team alongside sheet metal and tube and pipe. It is hands-on. You will be at the machine for first parts, and you will own the outcome.
What You’ll Do
Interpret and define product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract requirements, and translate them into machining requirements, critical characteristics, and inspection needs.
Reverse engineer parts and assemblies where technical data is incomplete or legacy, to establish design intent, critical features, and a buildable sequence.
Review models and drawings for machinability at scale, including casting stock allowance, datum structure, tolerance stack across setups, tool and probe access, and distortion risk, and drive changes before design freeze.
Own the end-to-end machining route (rough, stress relief, semi-finish, finish, and inspection), including handoffs to weld, cladding, and assembly.
Set the setup count, where datums are established and carried forward, and where match-machining with mating assemblies is required.
Define the high-level process for each operation (envelope, critical features, material condition, cycle time against rate, and inspection approach) and hand it to Capability Engineering complete and on time.
Define lift points, handling, and part flow through the factory so rigging and logistics can plan around the part.
Own design intent for large-part fixtures, workholding, lift fixtures, and inspection aids, partnering with Tooling Engineering on detailed design and build.
Provide setup sheets, datum schemes, and critical-feature intent to CNC Programming.
Build and maintain BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems, and own engineering change and configuration control as the design matures.
Recommend make/buy decisions, write technical packages for buy parts, and own both paths when a program runs them in parallel.
Plan and execute subscale development articles and full-scale qualification builds, including alternate-material development where it buys down risk, and own first article delivery.
Own disposition and root cause for new-product non-conformances, and drive corrective action into the design, the plan, or the process.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in build, manufacturing, or production engineering with direct ownership of large machined parts (roughly 2 m and up, castings, forgings, or heavy weldments) from requirements through production.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Experience interpreting and defining product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract quality clauses, and translating them into build requirements.
Strong GD&T and tolerance-stack skills across multi-setup parts, with a proven datum strategy.
Working knowledge of large-format machining (horizontal boring mills, gantry and bridge mills, large 5-axis machining centers, and VTLs) and large-part metrology, deep enough to drive DFM and set the build flow.
Experience reverse engineering parts or assemblies from incomplete technical data, legacy drawings, or physical parts.
Experience structuring BOMs, work orders, and work instructions in PLM, ERP, or MES systems, including engineering change and configuration management.
Proficiency in 3D CAD.
Comfort operating hands-on on the factory floor and making sound decisions under schedule pressure.
Able to work on-site at our [site] factory.
What Will Set You Apart
Hands-on experience running or programming large-format machines, including reading and critiquing CNC toolpaths.
Experience with distortion control on large parts, including stress relief sequencing, stock strategy, and thermal effects.
Experience with difficult materials such as Monel and other nickel-copper alloys, stainless steel, dissimilar-metal joints, and cladded surfaces.
Exposure to weld qualification (PQR/WPS) where machined features meet weld joints.
Background in aerospace, defense, naval, or energy programs with first article and customer source inspection.
Experience standing up a new cell or factory while the product was still in development.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

Define casting quality levels by zone and weld repair limits with Design and Quality.
Own the end-to-end casting route, from pattern through pour, heat treatment, cleaning, NDT, weld repair, and dimensional inspection, to the handoff to machining.
Place datums and machining stock so the first machining setup works the first time.
Define the high-level process for each operation (alloy and condition, quality levels, heat treatment, NDT method and acceptance criteria, and cycle time against rate) and hand it to Capability Engineering complete and on time.
Own design intent for patterns, core boxes, and inspection fixtures, each with a clear owner, location, and revision record.
Build and maintain BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems, and own engineering change and configuration control as the design matures.
Bring Hadrian build plans and Opus work instructions into the foundry so casting work is planned and tracked the same way as the rest of the Hadrian network.
Work with Quality, NDT, and metallurgical lab teams to set inspection plans and acceptance criteria to customer and naval requirements.
Recommend which castings we pour and which we buy, write technical packages for buy castings, and assess outside foundries with Supply Chain and Quality.
Plan and execute subscale development articles and full-scale qualification castings, including dissimilar-metal development where the design calls for it, and own first article delivery.
Own disposition and root cause for new-casting non-conformances, and drive corrective action into the design or the process instead of the repair bay.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in build, manufacturing, or casting engineering with direct ownership of large castings from requirements through production.

You are the bridge between the product and Capability Engineering: you interpret the product requirements, drive DFM, reverse engineer the product where the data is incomplete, establish the build flow and sequence, and hand Capability Engineering and the foundry a well-defined casting problem to solve.\n\nYou will own new product and new process introduction for castings end-to-end. Many of the hardest products we build start as a casting, and decisions made at the pattern carry through machining, weld, and final assembly. You set how each casting is made and inspected, define the processes it needs, and work across Design, Supply Chain, supplier foundries, Capability Engineering, Quality, and Operations to bring it to rate. Decisions made during NPI set the cost, lead time, and quality of these castings for their life, and the processes you introduce become casting capabilities Hadrian uses on the programs that follow.\n\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\n - Interpret and define product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract requirements, and translate them into casting requirements, quality levels, and inspection needs.\n\n - Reverse engineer castings and cast assemblies from legacy drawings, incomplete technical data, or physical parts to establish design intent, critical zones, and a buildable sequence.\n\n - Review models and drawings for castability, including wall thickness, section changes, draft, parting lines, datum structure, machining stock, shrinkage and porosity risk, and NDT access, and drive changes before design freeze.\n\n - Hand a well-defined casting problem to Capability Engineering and the foundry's casting design and simulation team, and review gating, riser, and solidification results against the product requirements.\n\n - Define casting quality levels by zone and weld repair limits with Design and Quality.\n\n - Own the end-to-end casting route, from pattern through pour, heat treatment, cleaning, NDT, weld repair, and dimensional inspection, to the handoff to machining.\n\n - Place datums and machining stock so the first machining setup works the first time.\n\n - Define the high-level process for each operation (alloy and condition, quality levels, heat treatment, NDT method and acceptance criteria, and cycle time against rate) and hand it to Capability Engineering complete and on time.\n\n - Own design intent for patterns, core boxes, and inspection fixtures, each with a clear owner, location, and revision record.\n\n - Build and maintain BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems, and own engineering change and configuration control as the design matures.\n\n - Bring Hadrian build plans and Opus work instructions into the foundry so casting work is planned and tracked the same way as the rest of the Hadrian network.\n\n - Work with Quality, NDT, and metallurgical lab teams to set inspection plans and acceptance criteria to customer and naval requirements.\n\n - Recommend which castings we pour and which we buy, write technical packages for buy castings, and assess outside foundries with Supply Chain and Quality.\n\n - Plan and execute subscale development articles and full-scale qualification castings, including dissimilar-metal development where the design calls for it, and own first article delivery.\n\n - Own disposition and root cause for new-casting non-conformances, and drive corrective action into the design or the process instead of the repair bay.\n\n\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n\n - 5+ years of experience in build, manufacturing, or casting engineering with direct ownership of large castings from requirements through production.\n\n - Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical, Materials, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.\n\n - Experience interpreting and defining product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract quality clauses, and translating them into build requirements.\n\n - Working knowledge of large steel castings (sand molding, heat treatment, weld repair) and casting defects, deep enough to drive DFM and set quality levels.\n\n - Experience reverse engineering castings or cast assemblies from incomplete technical data, legacy drawings, or physical parts.\n\n - Understanding of NDT methods for castings (RT, UT, MT, and PT) and how acceptance criteria flow from product requirements.\n\n - Experience structuring BOMs, work orders, and work instructions in PLM, ERP, or MES systems, including engineering change and configuration management.\n\n - Strong GD&T and 3D CAD skills.\n\n - Experience working on a foundry floor with melt, molding, heat treat, and inspection teams, and with outside foundries on first article approval.\n \n \n\nWhat Will Set You Apart\n\n - Experience with solidification simulation software such as MAGMASOFT, ProCAST, or FLOW-3D CAST.\n\n - Experience with HY-80, HY-100, or other high-yield steel castings for naval programs.\n\n - Experience with Monel, nickel-aluminum bronze, stainless steel, or other difficult alloys.\n\n - Experience with dissimilar-metal joints and cladded surfaces.\n\n - Knowledge of casting weld repair and weld qualification (PQR/WPS).\n\n - Familiarity with NAVSEA casting inspection requirements (T9074).\n\n - Experience standing up a new cell, foundry, or factory while the product was still in development.\n\n\nBENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES\n\n - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees \n 401k \n\n - Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need. \n\n - Flexible vacation policy \n\n - Equity\n\n \n\n\nITAR REQUIREMENTS\n\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, 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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Hadrian is hiring a Head of Strategic Communications to own what the company says publicly and who says it. This is the earned-media and executive-communications engine for the company: press relationships, announcement strategy, message discipline, and the voice the CEO and other leaders bring to every public moment.
You'll report to the SVP, Public Policy, who sets the direction for the company's external affairs and holds the comms slate — the master calendar of everything Hadrian says publicly, sequenced across announcements, launches, executive moments, and policy pushes. Your job is to run Strategic Comms with full ownership of its craft and its team.
You'll work in close partnership with peers across the broader external affairs function: a Brand & Marketing lead who owns owned channels, campaigns, and company events; and Government Relations and Policy leads who carry the company's positions into government offices and the broader policy ecosystem. Voice frameworks you help steward apply across all of these teams.
Media — Reporter relationships, inbound press handling, briefings, and embargo management. You are the person national and trade press call first.
Public Relations — Announcement strategy and execution for major company moments, reactive and issues response, and stewardship of Hadrian's standing narrative in the press.
Copy & Voice — Day-to-day ownership of how Hadrian sounds in earned and executive channels, working within the voice frameworks set at the SVP level. You're the standard-bearer for the function's copy, not the sole writer of everything.
Speeches & Public Comms — Executive speeches, talking points, prepared remarks, and Q&A prep. You are the primary support for Hadrian's CEO and other executives in public settings.
Internal Communications (in partnership with HR) — HR owns internal distribution and the employee relationship; you supply the message and voice that keep thousands of technicians and engineers across Hadrian's factory network aligned with the company's direction and momentum.
Team Leadership — Build and manage a team capable of carrying this workload without you in the room for every piece of work. Strategic Comms is currently load-bearing and under-resourced; part of this role is fixing that.
External Partners — Select, manage, and hold accountable the agencies, PR firms, speechwriters, and other outside consultants who extend the team's capacity. You set the brief, own the budget and performance of these relationships, and ensure external work meets the same bar as work produced in-house.
15+ years of communications experience in tech, defense, aerospace, or a related field, with real fluency in how each of those worlds talks to the press, to government, and to itself
Demonstrated experience managing a team, including external consultants and agencies — you've hired and developed direct reports, and you've also run agency and freelance relationships with a clear brief, budget, and accountability for results
A relentless focus on mission — you understand why reindustrializing the United States matters and can translate that conviction into a story that lands with reporters, policymakers, and the public
Executive presence and judgment — comfortable advising a CEO in high-stakes moments, with the instinct to know when something is genuinely sensitive versus when it isn't
Sharp writing and editing instincts, and the ability to hold a company's voice steady across dozens of moving pieces
Proactive and collaborative — you propose into the external affairs and internal communications calendars rather than waiting to be handed work, and you build real partnerships with peers who own adjacent pieces of the story
Willing to travel — regularly, and often on short notice, to be on the ground for factory visits, executive appearances, and press moments across Hadrian's sites
Ability to obtain a U.S. national security clearance preferred
A sense of levity. You take the mission seriously and yourself less so, without ever letting standards slip
For this role, the target salary range is 210,000 - 250,000 (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.

Role Summary
The Director, Forward Deployed Engineering leads the technical arm of Hadrian's Customer Programs motion. You sit inside Build Engineering and partner directly with the Customer Programs team, owning the manufacturing scoping of new customer engagements: translating what a customer wants into what Hadrian will actually commit to and build.
This role works directly with customers every day. For many of them, you and your team are the face of Hadrian engineering, so how you show up in the room matters as much as the technical answer. The work starts with discovery. Before anything is proposed, you and your team get inside the customer's operation: observing how work actually flows, mapping their processes and constraints, and interviewing the people closest to the problem until you understand what they need, which is often different from what they first ask for.
From there, you shape a solution that maximizes what the customer gets out of the engagement and builds toward where Hadrian is headed. The craft is steering to the answer where the customer's best outcome and Hadrian's direction reinforce each other: high impact, low effort, and built on what we already do well rather than new obligations we then have to invent our way out of.
The intent behind housing this role in Build Engineering is clean accountability: your team scopes what we commit to, and Build Engineering delivers it. That means the commitments you shape have to be grounded in first-principles engineering judgment and a real understanding of the factory, not optimism. You evaluate and understand before you propose or promise.
Key Responsibilities
Represent Hadrian with customers day to day: Own the technical relationship with customer engineering, program, and leadership teams. Run working sessions, present findings and recommendations, handle hard questions and pushback in the room, and follow up with clear, accurate written communication. Every interaction should leave the customer more confident in Hadrian.
Discover before you design: Embed with customers to observe their operations, map processes, constraints, and pain points, and interview stakeholders from the shop floor to program leadership. Build a clear, evidence-based picture of the real need before any solution is on the table.
Shape the solution: Fold what you learn into a solution that maximizes customer output and moves Hadrian toward what we are building. Hold an accurate picture of current capability and roadmap, and steer each engagement to the point where those two goals reinforce each other, favoring existing capabilities over new obligations.
Partner with Customer Programs: Operate on a dotted line to Customer Programs as their forward deployed engineering arm, bringing technical judgment into every engagement from first conversation through commitment.
Lead the forward deployed engineering team: Build, manage, and develop a technical team that engages directly with customers during new program scoping. Set the standard for how the team runs discovery, evaluates opportunities, and communicates with customers in a technical, credible, low-ego way.
Scope new customer engagements: Own the manufacturing scoping of new engagements: review requirements, drawings, specifications, tolerances, materials, and volumes, and define a manufacturing solution that Hadrian can commit to with confidence.
Evaluate before you promise: Bring a first-principles engineering mindset to every engagement. Understand the problem and the constraints before proposing or committing to a solution, so that what we sign up for is real and deliverable.
Hand off cleanly to Build Engineering: Ensure every commitment is scoped so that the Build Engineering organization can deliver it: clear product definition, make-vs-buy posture, process capability requirements, and a manufacturing plan that stands up to execution.
Drive leverage, not one-offs: Recognize recurring customer patterns and turn them into repeatable scoping approaches and reusable solution templates, so the function scales with the business instead of scaling headcount linearly.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, or a related engineering field and 8+ years of manufacturing or manufacturing engineering experience, or 12+ years of that experience without a degree.
3+ years managing technical teams (direct reports).
Experience in a customer-facing technical role (e.g., applications, field or sales engineering, program engineering, or consulting), including presenting technical recommendations to customer engineering and program leadership.
Proven ability to lead a technical team in a customer-facing capacity, translating between customer requirements and manufacturing reality.
Demonstrated ability to run structured customer discovery (site visits, process mapping, stakeholder interviews) and turn it into a defined technical solution.
Strong first-principles engineering judgment: able to evaluate and understand complex requirements before proposing or committing to solutions.
Fluency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, GD&T, and manufacturing process requirements.
Experience scoping or defining manufacturing work: DFM, make-vs-buy, process planning, tooling strategy, or production launch.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in aerospace, defense, maritime, or other high-complexity, high-mix manufacturing environments.
Background spanning both a scaling/startup environment and a mature manufacturing organization.
Exposure to precision machining, castings, forgings, sheet metal, or additive processes across metals and composites.
Experience working alongside sales, program management, or commercial teams on new customer engagements.
Exposure to manufacturing software and automation (MES/ERP, CAM automation, robotics, factory data systems), with a track record of feeding what you learn from customers back into product and automation roadmaps so those capabilities get built ahead of demand.
A track record of building repeatable systems and templates rather than solving each problem from scratch.
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
Equity
To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, 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.

The Role
You will take hard factory automation problems from ambiguity through production, and build the mechanical engineering team that does it with you. Few hardware teams are putting AI into the manufacturing or hardware design loop. We are, and we need leaders who are expert enough to push boundaries, yet humble enough to reinvent their own workflow.
We are looking for leaders who want to build alongside their team, inventing new agentic workflows in a hybrid team of high performers to solve problems that were entirely out of reach even a year ago.
What You’ll Do
Build, lead and grow the mechanical engineering team that designs Hadrian's automation equipment: hiring bar, leveling, mentoring and career growth.
Deliver machines, fixtures, end-of-arm tooling and material handling from concept through build, commissioning and production run-in, and own how they perform on the floor.
Set design standards and run design reviews covering CAD, drawings, GD&T, design for manufacture and assembly, and machine safety, so each new factory builds on the last.
Stay hands-on: review designs, work through fixtures, mechanisms and cell layouts with your engineers, and make the hard technical calls.
Decide what to design in house and what to buy, plan the equipment budget, and hold machine builders, vendors and integrators to the standard.
Partner closely with controls, software, manufacturing and factory operations, and bring new tools, including AI, into how the team designs.
What We’re Looking For
12+ years designing automation equipment, test equipment or production machinery, including several years leading mechanical engineers.
A proven record of delivering automation equipment from concept through commissioning on production lines that run around the clock.
Deep, current mechanical design skills: mechanisms, fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, tolerance stacks, actuator sizing and machine safety.
A record of growing engineers and earning the trust of the technicians and operators who build and run your designs.
You use AI and other new tools in your own engineering workflow and push your team to try new ways of working.
What Will Set You Apart
You grew with a startup as an early mechanical design hire for automation or test equipment and helped build the team.
Systems integrator experience, especially in systems design or concept and quoting teams.
You have standardized equipment across multiple factories or launched equipment for a new factory.
Experience in high-volume manufacturing such as EV, aerospace, defense or medical devices.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
US defense systems run on technical data that is often decades old: scanned paper, hand-marked prints, partial models, and drawings that were never turned into 3D models. A part that exists only on an old drawing is hard to source. That slows how fast the armed forces and our prime customers can sustain and rebuild the systems that use it. Hadrian turns that data into manufacturing-ready models and drawings, so customers can keep their systems running and Hadrian can make or procure the parts.
As a CAD Modeler, you build the 3D models and 2D drawings for naval and aerospace parts, starting from whatever the customer sends. You also build the models and drawings for each manufacturing state (M-state) of a part: the in-process configurations the factory builds and inventories on the way to the final part. Our engineers define each M-state, and you model, draw, and configure it. You own your parts from first model through release and every change after it.
Build manufacturing-ready 3D models from naval prints, aerospace drawings, partial models, and other customer documents, matching the customer's definition feature for feature.
Make the 2D drawings the factory runs on, from your models or the customer's.
Build the models and drawings for each M-state of a part.
Work out conflicting or unclear views against the rest of the drawing.
Keep PLM data correct and structured, and send your parts through the release workflow.
Carry each customer change through the customer geometry and every related M-state across the part family.
Build models that tooling, programming, and inspection teams can use as a base.
Work with manufacturing teams and turn around the model and drawing changes they need.
3+ years building production CAD models and drawings for hardware a factory made.
Expert use of one parametric 3D CAD application, with models the next person can change. NX preferred; CATIA, Creo, or SolidWorks also fit.
Experience building 3D models from complex 2D drawings with no existing model, including internal features that only show in a section view.
Reads and drafts GD&T per ASME Y14.5, weld and NDT symbols per AWS A2.4, and drawings to ASME Y14.100.
Experience releasing parts and controlling changes in a PLM system.
Asks when a drawing cannot answer a question instead of guessing.
Sets their own release schedule across many parts and switches priorities quickly.
Production work in Siemens NX.
Experience with naval or shipyard drawings, customer data packages, and old or hand-drawn prints.
Has modeled and drawn in-process (M-state) configurations that differ from the final customer definition.
Has run a customer change process and an internal change process at the same time.
Background in machined parts, welded assemblies, tooling, and CMM or scan inspection.
Spots when one parametric model can cover a whole family of part numbers, and builds it that way.
For this role, the target salary range is 98,000 - 167,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

What We’re Looking For
High degree of independence and accountability - this role works without a local IT manager to lean on, and needs to be self-reliant, self-driven, and proactive rather than reactive
High degree of ownership - drives issues to resolution without waiting to be asked
Familiarity with networking fundamentals: LAN/WAN, VLANs, firewall administration, Wi-Fi
Endpoint management experience with Intune, Mosyle, or FleetDM
Familiarity with Okta for identity and access management
Comfortable operating as a remote extension of a distributed team
Manufacturing or industrial environment experience strongly preferred
Experience working with military departments or federal agencies
CMMC, ITAR, and CUI handling experience a plus
What Will Set You Apart
Excellent communication and customer service skills
Ability to be self motivated and take initiative without direct instructions
Ability to maintain a high level of professionalism while working on a customer site.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

Your focus will be on velocity, quality, and team self-sufficiency.
You will be the first to master new procedures, working closely with technicians and trainer cohorts to ensure flawless adoption of every process. You will monitor and act on training velocity (time to full crew readiness) and training quality (adherence to standards), closing gaps proactively. Your north star: Every station in your scope runs to standard, every shift, with a self-sufficient team.
What You’ll Do
Lead all training activities for your assigned area, delivering on-the-job instruction and acting as the technical expert.
Work directly with technicians to understand process nuances, pain points, and improvement opportunities.
Master every process in your area and convert new methods into clear, teachable steps.
Train technicians and technician-trainers to ensure consistent, standard execution across all shifts.
Adapt coaching approaches to individual learning styles and support trainees through challenges.
Mentor technician-trainers to promote best practices in training delivery.
Own the full evaluation process, including quizzes, assessments, and progress reporting.
Create and refine evaluation criteria covering both hard and soft skills.
Partner with process designers to define tasks and decision points using structured “if/then” logic.
Maintain up-to-date, version-controlled training content that is always audit-ready.
Ensure returning technicians are aligned with the latest training standards.
Conduct and support training audits to ensure 100% procedural compliance.
Manage a blend of on-the-job and off-the-job training formats.
Collaborate with Learning System Engineers to develop and execute continuous improvement roadmaps.

At least 2 years of experience working in a production / inspection environment
Proven ability to train people with experience ranging from entry level – mid level
Aptitude for rapid learning, reteaching, and influencing process adoption
Ability to independently recognize human patterns (both macro + micro) and provide actionable, objective, and mature recommendations to leadership
What Will Set You Apart
Passionate about training, employee career development, and the Hadrian mission of reindustrializing the nation’s workforce
Training, instructing, or teaching experience in an operational environment
The ability to influence others without direct authority – you will not be a people manager, but your success is directly tied to influencing ability
High emotional IQ – able to self-improve after receiving feedback, provide guidance to trainers, and continuously learn and grow through the role
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $24/hr - $40/hr (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.

By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Hadrian is growing fast, and how we share knowledge, make decisions, and communicate is as much a part of what we’re building as anything on the factory floor. We’re looking for an Internal Communications Partner who sees the organization itself as a product, with every employee as a user, and wants to help design how it works.
You’re AI forward by default. You’ll think about internal content the way a great product team thinks about product documentation: built around real users, held to a high quality bar, and always current. You’ll shape how information gets created, found, and kept up to date across the company, and set the standards and systems everyone else builds on. This is a chance to define what great looks like from the ground up, at a company where the pace and the stakes are high.
You’ll lead the core work of internal comms (announcements, change comms, leadership messaging), and you’ll also build the system underneath it, shaping how Hadrian communicates as it scales.
Own our internal knowledge base as a product. Understand what users need, keep a roadmap and backlog, and organize content around how people look for it, not around our org chart.
Set the standards for internal content (style guides, templates, page types, metadata, and ownership conventions), the same way a docs team sets standards for product documentation.
Run the full content lifecycle from intake to retirement, and build the freshness model behind it: clear owners, review dates, and triggers that flag content when a policy, process, system, or org change makes it out of date.
Tie content updates to the moments that cause change, like launches, policy updates, reorgs, and tool rollouts, so docs ship with the change instead of weeks after it.
Audit and consolidate what we already have. Cut duplicates, retire what's dead, and establish one source of truth for the things that matter.
Stay on top of the latest AI tools for writing, knowledge management, search, and automation. Use them to scale the work, from drafting and personalizing comms to catching stale or conflicting content to building workflows and agents that take manual upkeep off people's plates.
Structure our content so AI assistants and search tools can actually use it well. Partner with our Enterprise Eng/Builder Tools team and system owners on rollouts, and be the person who turns \"we built this\" into \"everyone uses this.\"
Lead change comms and enablement for new tools and ways of working. Build a network of content owners and champions across teams, and make it easy for subject matter experts to keep their own content current.
Partner with leaders on company-wide announcements, change communications, and key narratives.
Simplify our channel strategy so the right information goes to the right place and stays consistent with external messaging.
Measure what's working (search success, freshness, time to find an answer, repeat questions to People and IT, adoption) and use it to decide what to fix next.
5+ years in internal communications, knowledge management, content strategy or operations, technical writing, or product documentation, ideally at a fast-growing tech company.
You've owned a knowledge base, intranet, help center, or documentation set end to end, including its structure, standards, governance, and upkeep, and built process around it that people actually follow.
A product mindset. You think in terms of users, problems, prioritization, and iteration, and you use a few meaningful metrics to decide what to work on.
Hands-on, everyday use of AI tools, plus a track record of bringing new tools into a company and driving adoption across teams or locations. Bonus if you've built your own workflows, automations, or agents.
Strong, clear writing across formats, from a leadership announcement to a how-to page to a two-line Slack update, plus experience with tools like Confluence, Notion, Guru, Glean, or Slack.
Background on a docs, customer support enablement, or product content team, or experience structuring content for AI search and assistants.
Experience in a hardware, manufacturing, or other operationally complex environment.
For this role, the target salary range is 140,000 - 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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Product Engineers at Hadrian are software engineers who own the full product lifecycle, from figuring out what to build to shipping and operating it. You'll work directly with the people running mission-critical manufacturing programs, identify problems worth solving, and turn ambiguous requirements into working software.
Much of the work is 0 to 1. You'll build new products, extend existing systems, and help turn successful prototypes into durable platform capabilities. You'll spend most of your time writing code, primarily in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Go, and Python, but we care more about engineering judgment than familiarity with our stack.
There's no PM handing you a PRD and no layer between you and your users. Product judgment, technical depth, and the ability to move quickly all matter. The team is early, and the people joining now will have significant influence over both our product direction and how the team operates.
No prior aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience required.
What You'll Do
Build and ship full stack products. Take software from an empty repo to production, with real users who depend on it.
Own a product area end to end. Stay on it from the first unclear conversation through design, build, launch, and iteration.
Make and document the technical calls. Choose the architecture, data models, and tradeoffs, and write them down for other engineers.
Do your own discovery. Talk to users, watch how they work, and find the real problem behind the request.
Ship fast, keep quality high, and feed the platform. Get working software to users early, keep code readable and tested, and bring requirements back to the core platform.
What We're Looking For
Deep software engineering experience. You’ve shipped full stack applications, worked in large codebases, and tech led critical projects.
Strong system design skills. You design services, APIs, and data models that hold up as usage grows.
Extreme product intuition and a 0-to-1 track record. You think as hard about what to build as how to build it, and you’re comfortable shipping in unclear environments.
Direct work with users, and clear communication. You turn customer needs into shipped software, explain tradeoffs to any audience, and push back when the ask doesn’t match the problem.
AI native, with a bias to action. You use AI across your whole workflow, can show how it makes you much faster, and care more about the right solution than being right.
What Will Set You Apart
Founder or founding engineer experience. You’ve taken a new product from 0 to 1.
Product ownership without a PM. You’ve owned a product area, or worked as an engineer and PM hybrid.
Operations tooling. You’ve built workflow tools or data heavy applications for operations teams.
Forward deployed experience. You’ve done forward deployed, solutions engineering, or technical consulting work built against messy customer reality.
A visible body of work. A strong GitHub presence or projects shipped outside of work.
Logistics
This role is based out of our Los Angeles (Torrance) or San Francisco Bay Area office. You'll travel now and then to spend time onsite with customers and operators so you understand their work firsthand. This role does not involve heavy travel or long deployments.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $223,000 - $359,000 (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.

About the Workforce Development Team
The Workforce Development team is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of manufacturing talent within a challenging, equitable, and meritocratic environment.
Our goal is to accelerate the maturity and operational effectiveness of Hadrian's factories through targeted training programs.
The team is responsible for developing and managing a comprehensive training system, driving software adoption, standardizing operational processes, and maintaining an integrated training and certification ecosystem.
We are opening a new factory in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and you will be part of the founding training team. Before our first technicians arrive, you will go through their onboarding and training yourself, test it, and help us refine it so the people who follow have the best possible start.
This is a general training role, not tied to a single trade. Deep training experience matters most here. Manufacturing experience is a bonus, and you will learn our production environment through time at our sites in Los Angeles and Arizona and through equipment manufacturer training.
Ahead of our first technician cohort, you will experience the technician journey from onboarding through training and qualification, capture what works and what does not, and give clear feedback that shapes the experience before it goes live. You will help set up the training space and the logistics new starters rely on. You will spend time at our Los Angeles and Arizona sites learning how training runs in production, and attend equipment manufacturer training, sometimes at vendor locations, bringing what you learn back to Alabama. You will contribute to curriculum development and training documentation, and record training in our skills tracking system. As technicians come onsite, you will deliver onboarding, general and safety training across capabilities, support our trade-specific trainers, run evaluations, keep training records accurate and audit-ready, and give trainees day-to-day direction. Throughout, you will own the outcomes of the training you deliver and make recommendations when the program needs them.
Required
3+ years in a training, instructing or teaching role, with a strong track record of training adult learners.
Proven ability to train people from entry level to mid level.
Experience delivering structured training programs, including onboarding, classroom and hands-on instruction, and evaluation.
The ability to learn new content quickly and teach it to standard, including subjects outside your own background.
Experience contributing to training curriculum and documentation, and keeping accurate training records.
The ability to observe how people learn and give clear, objective, actionable feedback on a training program.
A self-starter who manages their own time, travel and priorities with minimal oversight.
Willingness and ability to travel up to 25%, including to Los Angeles, Arizona and vendor locations.
Preferred, not necessary
Manufacturing, production or skilled trades experience; our production environment is learned in role.
Experience standing up training for a new site, program or team.
Experience with instructional design or adult learning methods.
Experience in aerospace, defense or another regulated industry.
A passion for training, career development and rebuilding the nation's manufacturing workforce.

The Role
As the Director, Compliance, you’ll build and lead Hadrian’s compliance program across three areas: export controls, government contracts, and ethics and business conduct. You’ll work alongside engineering, programs, supply chain, and leadership so compliance is built into how we design, buy, build, and sell from day one. You’ll set the policies, controls, and training that keep us compliant. You’ll also be the person who finds a compliant way forward when a rule seems to block the work.
What You’ll Do
Build and lead Hadrian’s compliance program and team, setting the strategy, priorities, and metrics for export, government contracts, and ethics compliance
Own ITAR and EAR compliance, including jurisdiction and classification (J/C) decisions, export licenses and agreements, technology control plans, and foreign person access

Lead cybersecurity compliance with IT and Security, including NIST 800-171 and CMMC
Own the code of conduct, ethics hotline, and internal investigations, plus anti-corruption, conflict of interest, and procurement integrity programs
Work alongside program and engineering teams to build controls into new programs, capabilities, and factory launches from the start
Design classification and review processes that are fast and consistent, using automation and AI where it makes sense
Build and deliver company-wide training on export controls, government contracts, and ethics
Run compliance risk assessments and internal audits, lead corrective actions, and report on program health to leadership
Be Hadrian’s main point of contact with government agencies, customers, and primes on compliance matters
Keep up with regulatory changes and turn them into clear guidance the business can act on
What We’re Looking For
12+ years of compliance experience in aerospace, defense, or another highly regulated industry
5+ years leading compliance teams or programs
Deep hands-on knowledge of ITAR and EAR, including classification, licensing, and technology control plans
Working knowledge of FAR/DFARS, government audits, and NIST 800-171/CMMC
Experience building or running an ethics and business conduct program
Ability to understand engineering and manufacturing well enough to write controls that work on the factory floor
Strong judgment that balances compliance risk with business priorities
Must be a U.S. person, and able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
What Will Set You Apart
Experience building a compliance program from the ground up at a fast-growing defense or hardware company
Experience in manufacturing environments with export-controlled technical data and hardware
Experience with voluntary disclosures, DDTC or BIS matters, or government investigations
Background working on co-production or international defense programs
An active security clearance
A JD, or certifications such as CUSECO, ECoP, or CCEP
A knack for finding compliant ways through regulatory roadblocks instead of just saying no

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Role Summary
Hadrian is looking for a Manager, Build Engineering to lead the team that takes new products from zero to one on a dedicated customer program. You will own new product introduction end-to-end — from first article through qualification, ramp, and transition into standard production — and be accountable for the build outcomes of every engineer on your team.
This role sits at the center of the factory's cross-functional web. A new product doesn't reach one without Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Software, Materials & Processes, and Test all pulling in the same direction, and it's on you to keep those dependencies from becoming your engineers' problem to solve build by build. You will own the relationship expectations between your program's Build Engineers and every function that supports them, resolving constraints before they hit the floor.
This is a working manager role. You will build, coach, and level up a team of Build Engineers while staying close enough to the floor to make a real-time technical call or step in yourself during a high-priority build.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and grow a team of Build Engineers dedicated to a specific customer or program.
Own program-level new product introduction (NPI) outcomes, from first article through stabilized production.
Tie together the work of individual Build Engineers into one coherent execution plan — setting sequencing, prioritization, and risk mitigation across the program.
Partner across Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Production/Manufacturing Engineering, Software, Materials & Processes, and Test to unblock constraints before they impact the build.
Serve as the primary escalation point for build issues within the program, resolving problems related to drawings, tolerances, tooling, materials, and process flow in real time.
Coach, develop, and level up Build Engineers on the team; own staffing and leveling decisions.
Represent the program in cross-functional planning, reviews, and leadership updates.
Assess build and manufacturability risk at the program level and drive mitigation plans to protect schedule and quality.
Drive lessons learned across builds and transition stabilized processes into standard production.
Support engineering changes by evaluating program-level execution impact and aligning the team accordingly.
Required Qualifications
6–10+ years of experience in build, production, or manufacturing engineering, including hands-on experience with new product introduction (NPI) or zero-to-one manufacturing efforts.
2+ years of experience leading or managing a team of engineers in a manufacturing environment, or a demonstrated track record of informal technical leadership.
Demonstrated success coordinating across engineering, supply chain, software, and production functions to deliver complex or first-of-kind builds.
Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, BOMs, and process requirements.
Comfort operating hands-on on the factory floor as well as managing and prioritizing at the program level.
Ability to make sound decisions under schedule pressure with incomplete or evolving information.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to align technicians, engineers, and leadership around a single execution plan.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience owning a product or program from concept/prototype through production ramp at a high-growth manufacturing or hardware company.
Background in precision manufacturing, machining, assembly, or inspection within aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical industries.
Exposure to test engineering, materials & processes, or capability engineering functions.
Experience managing a team through frequent design or priority changes.
Familiarity with ERP/MES/PLM systems and digital work instruction tools.
Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement experience.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role
Test Engineering is a brand new team at Hadrian, built from the ground up with no legacy test framework to work around. As a Test Engineer, you'll be the responsible engineer and technical lead for all proof and functional testing on a large manufacturing program for complex weldments.
You'll set the test strategy for the program and decide what we test, how, and why. You'll use engineering first principles to decide which requirements we meet, exceed, or push back on, and you'll make the calls on cost, schedule, quality, and safety. You'll lead the design of the test equipment, make sure every test is safe, and coordinate the engineers and technicians who build and run it. You'll be on the floor for first articles, hand each test off to production, and set the standards the team carries to the next program.
The program is in its development phase today, and scope will grow as it moves into production. Many of the test capabilities will take 6 to 12 months to build, so the work you do now shapes how the factory runs later. If you like building a test program from an empty floor, leading through your expertise, and owning the outcome, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
Own the test strategy and test plan for every program requirement, from customer spec to final data package
Interpret customer test specs, and negotiate changes when you disagree
Lead the selection, purchase, and integration of hydrostatic, proof, and functional test equipment into the work center. Design custom pressure systems, fixtures, and data acquisition when nothing off the shelf fits.
Own test safety: hazard analysis, stored energy calculations, and engineering controls for every test you stand up
Set the data collection, labeling, storage, and traceability requirements for program testing, and work with our controls, software, and data teams to build the tools
Write test automation, process plans, work orders, and training materials, and set the standard the rest of the team follows
Hand each test off to production with clear accept/reject criteria and trained technicians
Deliver a complete test data package to the customer showing compliance with every agreed requirement
Lead customer reviews and witness tests
Mentor engineers and technicians on pressure testing, test design, and safety
Work with build engineering, factory automation, factory planning, production, and workforce training to keep testing in step with the build. The line should never be waiting on a test result.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, aerospace, or chemical engineering
5+ years in test, launch, controls, integration, or fluid systems engineering
Deep pressure test experience. You've planned, run, and signed off on hydrostatic or proof tests on large, complex hardware.
Strong command of pressure system design: P&IDs, relief sizing, stored energy, and codes like ASME BPVC Section VIII, B31.3, and PCC-2
Experience specifying, installing, and commissioning test equipment and data acquisition systems (NI, Dewesoft, HBK, or similar)
Test automation in Python, LabVIEW, or similar
A record of leading test programs or cross-functional projects from start to finish
Experience making and defending tradeoffs across cost, schedule, quality, and safety with customers and internal teams, and knowing when to change course
Able to travel to other sites and support occasional nights and weekends around test events
What Will Set You Apart
System-level testing on hardware more complex than a single pressure vessel
You've designed, built, and commissioned your own pressure test equipment
You've stood up a new test lab or test capability from scratch
You've built or maintained hydraulic systems
You've led failure investigations and root cause corrective action
You've led or mentored a team of engineers or technicians
Time on console for test or launch operations
A background in auto racing, aerospace testing, or launch
Work in a regulated manufacturing environment with strict reporting and traceability requirements (AS9100, ASME code work, or similar)
5S or a similar program in a high-mix shop
Hosting customer or third-party witness tests
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

By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Test Engineering is a brand new team at Hadrian! As Engineering Manager, Materials Test, you'll build and lead our materials testing capability, working without the constraints of a legacy test framework. You'll run the flagship materials test lab at our Los Angeles HQ and lead the engineers and technicians who work in it.
Our welding, casting, forging, and additive teams all depend on this lab for the data behind their process decisions. Welding has the first needs, and the other teams are growing fast. You'll choose the equipment, set how we collect and store data, and decide how the lab balances work across all of those teams. Once the flagship lab is running, you'll turn it into a package we can stand up at any of our factories on short notice.
There is very little existing structure around materials testing at Hadrian. If you want to build a lab from an empty floor, lead a team through it, and own the outcome, this role is for you.

Write test automation, work instructions, process plans, and technician training
Set priorities across welding, casting, forging, and additive so every team gets on-time, quality data
Own lab safety and quality risks through engineering controls
Work with quality to keep full traceability on every material and test result
Standardize workflows and tools with the rest of the test team
Package the lab so we can deploy it to new factories and programs
Bachelor's degree in mechanical, materials, aerospace, or electrical engineering, or 8+ years of equivalent experience
3+ years designing, buying, or installing test or manufacturing equipment
1+ years leading people. You've managed engineers, technicians, or both.
Hands-on materials testing experience on metals or composites
Working knowledge of ASTM test standards, the equipment used to run them, and when each one applies
Experience writing work instructions and process documentation for a lab or production floor
Able to set technical direction and defend it with teams you don't manage
Able to travel to other sites
You've stood up a new lab or test capability from scratch
You've supervised both engineers and technicians
System-level testing on hardware more complex than materials specimens
Test automation in Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar
Work in a regulated environment with strict traceability requirements (AS9100, ISO/IEC 17025, Nadcap, or similar)
Rolling out a process or capability across multiple sites
5S or a similar program in a high-mix shop
For this role, the target salary range is $126,000 - $180,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

Prepare high-quality lender-, investor-, Board-, and Exec-facing materials, including lender presentations, credit memos, and financing recommendations.
Own recurring lender reporting and credit agreement compliance (compliance certificates, borrowing base and covenant calculations, reporting calendars) in partnership with Treasury and Accounting.
Track debt and equity capital markets across A&D, industrials, and defense tech, maintaining a financing comps database (pricing, leverage, covenants, structure) to benchmark Hadrian’s options.
Evaluate financing for large capital projects (new factories, machine capex) including project-level returns, lease vs. buy, equipment financing, and sale-leaseback alternatives.
Partner with FP&A and cross-functional teams to keep financing models aligned with the operating plan, cash forecast, and corporate financial reporting.
Build and maintain reusable analytical infrastructure (model templates, formatting standards, comp libraries) for the team.
Support relationship management with banks, lenders, and investors, and help prepare for potential future rating agency engagement and public-market readiness.
3+ years of relative experience in a Capital Markets role
Advanced Excel financial modeling: fully dynamic models built from scratch with lookup / index-match / sumifs discipline, clean formatting conventions, and no hardcodes in formula cells.
Credit fluency: leverage and coverage analysis, debt capacity, cash flow and liquidity forecasting, and the ability to defend assumptions to lenders and leadership.
Command of financing instruments and mechanics (e.g., revolvers vs. term loans, ABLs, HY bonds, converts, private credit, preferred equity, warrants) including pricing, covenants, security packages, and key credit agreement terms.
Clear written and oral communication: credit memos, lender presentations, one-pagers, and board-quality deliverables, with the ability to present materials to leadership and work cross-functionally.
High ownership and curiosity, strong attention to detail, and comfort owning deliverables with minimal oversight in a fast-paced, scrappy environment.
Prior DCM, leveraged finance, restructuring, private credit, or corporate treasury / capital markets experience, ideally covering industrials, defense, or deep tech.
Familiarity with A&D and advanced-manufacturing markets and the players in them.
Exposure to project finance and large-scale capital investment analysis (facility buildouts, infrastructure, capex-heavy programs).
Experience reviewing or negotiating credit agreements, term sheets, and commitment papers with high attention to detail.
Familiarity with government financing programs (e.g., DoD Office of Strategic Capital, DPA Title III, state and local incentives) and how they fit into a capital stack.
Working knowledge of defense contracting and government cost accounting (FAR, CAS, DCAA, contract types) and how they shape cash flow and credit profile.
Intermediate accounting knowledge (debt accounting, leases, equity instruments) and comfort building lightweight tooling/automation (e.g., VBA, Python, SQL) to scale analytical work.
A network across the lender, credit investor, and defense / space / manufacturing investor ecosystem.
For this role, the target salary range is $130,000 - $157,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
