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 $91,000 - $109,000 (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.

Hadrian is seeking a Vice President of Partnerships & Capital Markets. The VP of Partnerships & Capital Markets will own end-to-end financial and deal structuring and execution across Hadrian's most strategic external capital market, commercial, and federal initiatives. This role sits at the center of the Company's next phase of scale, spanning three core lanes: (1) complex commercial partnerships and deal structures, (2) debt capital markets, and (3) M&A, in close partnership with the CFO and CEO.
Hadrian is entering a phase where Capital Markets, M&A, and large-scale commercial partnerships are the primary engines of the Company's growth. This role sits at the nexus of high-stakes contract structuring, large-scale debt execution, and corporate development.
Hadrian is standing up this function to manage an accelerating pipeline of multi-billion dollar partnership, capital markets, and M&A transaction opportunities. Within a unique macroeconomic tailwind, as billions in capital are reallocated into this sector, this is a rare opportunity to occupy a high-impact, externally facing seat at a Company reaching a massive inflection point. The deal complexity is high, the transaction sizes are generational, and the outcomes of this role will fundamentally redefine the trajectory of the modern industrial base.
You'll report directly to the CFO and work in lockstep with the CEO on the Company's most strategic transactions.
Structure creative, scalable financing solutions aligned with Hadrian's hypergrowth manufacturing expansion and multibillion-dollar program pipeline.
Lead debt capital markets strategy and execution, including near-term plans to raise large amounts of debt to fund capacity buildout and accelerate growth.
Understand and deploy across the full capital stack, debt, equity, and hybrid structures, optimizing cost of capital, flexibility, and long-term control.
Lead sourcing, structuring, and execution of M&A opportunities that support Hadrian's manufacturing footprint and capability expansion.
Run financial modeling, valuation, and diligence for acquisition targets, working alongside the CEO and CFO from initial thesis through close.
Build the corporate development function's process discipline — decision frameworks, deal templates, and a repeatable playbook for high-velocity execution.
Build and run financial analysis and support negotiation for Hadrian's largest, most complex commercial partnerships with strategic partners.
Architect and negotiate multi-year commercial partnerships, balancing technical specifications, IP protections, and delivery milestones with sophisticated financial incentives.
Operate as a hands-on deal player-coach, able to move seamlessly from board-level narrative to detailed technical diligence and negotiation.
Build a world-class deal desk over time through hiring and mentoring, scaling the function as deal volume grows.
Navigate ambiguity, speed, and scale in high-stakes contracting environments where incomplete information is normal and outcomes matter.
10+ years across senior in-house capital markets, corporate development, investment banking, or structured finance roles within a high-growth, asset-intensive company.
Direct experience leading both debt raises (hundreds of millions to multi-billion-dollar range) and M&A transactions, ideally in support of physical asset or infrastructure buildout at scale.
Proven ability to architect and negotiate complex, multi-party commercial partnerships with government and commercial customers, ensuring contracts are bankable assets that support large-scale debt and equity financing.
Background in sectors requiring innovative capital formation to scale quickly — data centers, energy, industrial automation, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure platforms, or capital-intensive fintech.
Track record of building new financing and deal models rather than operating solely within established, legacy institutions.
Exceptional ability to synthesize complex deal mechanics into clear, strategic narratives for the Board and CEO.
Comfortable personally operating in the details of underwriting, modeling, and contractual mechanics - a true player-coach.
Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple live transactions across capital markets, M&A, and partnerships simultaneously while maintaining precision and forward momentum.
Experience building and developing high-performing deal teams, establishing process discipline without necessary bureaucracy.
Mission-driven, motivated by strengthening U.S. industrial capacity and national security; comfortable operating in high-intensity, high-accountability environments alongside founders.
Moves quickly and can execute with ambiguity.
Able to work directly with C-suite leaders, institutional investors, and government stakeholders.
Mission-driven, motivated by strengthening U.S. industrial capacity and national security.

Support factory launches, machine bring-up, and production stabilization
Focus areas differ across the team. After a year, engineers in this role can typically point to results like:
New manufacturing capabilities shipped into production
A standard adopted across multiple machines, cells, or factories
A previously manual engineering or production workflow that now runs automated
Measurable reductions in the engineering time required to launch new parts
Throughput, quality, or reliability improvements on production cells
A contribution to a factory launch or a major capability deployment
A track record of solving difficult manufacturing problems and building technical systems that hold up in production
Depth in one or two of these areas, with the judgment to work across the rest: machining, manufacturing engineering, automation, robotics, metrology, simulation, tooling, or software for manufacturing
Working knowledge of machining fundamentals, including tooling, workholding, GD&T, inspection, and process validation
The ability to trace a problem across process, equipment, software, and operational causes
Clear written and verbal communication with machinists, engineers, and factory leadership
Multi-axis CNC machining, mill-turn, or production experience with titanium and Inconel
CAM programming in hyperMILL, NX, Mastercam, or similar platforms
Macro programming on Heidenhain or Fanuc controllers
Automated metrology, in-process inspection, statistical process control, load monitoring, or tool life monitoring
Palletized automation, robotic machine tending, or lights-out production
Software and data skills applied to manufacturing, such as Python, version control, and production data analysis
Simulation and modeling, such as cutting dynamics, tap testing, or FEA
Experience in aerospace, defense, semiconductor, medical, energy, or similarly demanding environments
Machines, tools, software, or businesses you built on your own initiative

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
As a Security Engineer at Hadrian, you’ll shape the security of our platform as we expand to serve external customers and partners. You’ll drive the transition to Factory-as-a-Service, with identity, multi-tenancy, and data boundaries at the core. 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.

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:
At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between.
We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying.
If you're energized by complexity, mission-critical work, and the chance to shape the trajectory of a generational company from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you.
As our People Systems Product Manager, you'll be the architect of our People technology stack - setting the roadmap, shaping how our platforms evolve, and making the configuration and integration decisions that determine how effectively our organization runs. You'll work closely with People, Finance, and IT leadership, translating business strategy into scalable systems and turning our people data into a reliable source of truth the business can act on.
You'll drive how we leverage Rippling across every module, define where automation can replace manual processes at scale, and build the governance frameworks that keep our data clean as we grow. You'll own the vendor relationships, scope the integrations, and set the standards.
We're looking for someone who thinks in systems, operates with a high degree of ownership, and gets excited by the leverage that comes from building infrastructure that scales. If you want to build something that outlasts you and shapes how a high-growth company operates at its core - this is the role.
What You’ll Do
Own People systems end-to-end - serve as the internal product owner across all People systems and modules across our HRIS (Rippling), managing the roadmap, driving configuration decisions, and ensuring platforms scale with the business
Audit where we're under-leveraging native capabilities, surface quick wins, and build out the automation workflows that eliminate manual People processes across onboarding, offboarding, approvals, and compliance
Own our People data integrity - Build the processes and governance structures that keep our people data clean over time with repeatable standards that scale with the business
Identify where native system capabilities end and integrations are needed, scope those requirements clearly, and manage any consultants or vendors brought in to execute
Partner cross-functionally with People Operations, Recruiting, Finance, IT, and department heads to align on priorities, manage competing demands, and communicate tradeoffs in plain language
Build and maintain foundational people reporting - establish the recurring reports and dashboards that give People and leadership a reliable, accurate view of the workforce
Own and actively manage all people system vendor relationships - pushing forward our internal roadmap through platform enhancements and enablement
What We’re Looking For
6+ years owning or deeply administering an HRIS - Rippling experience strongly preferred; comparable platforms (Workday, BambooHR, HiBob) considered
Hands-on experience building workflow automations within an HRIS - not just configuring fields, but designing logic, testing edge cases, and maintaining rules at scale
A track record of owning data quality in a fast-moving environment - you've cleaned up a messy system and built processes to keep it clean
Translate business requirements - you translate complex People and business needs into clear system configuration and custom solutions
Process analysis and design - you map, document, and optimize People workflows (onboarding, payroll, performance management, etc.) and create supporting SOPs
Experience scoping integration requirements - you know enough to write a clear brief, manage a vendor, and QA the output, even if you didn't build the pipelines yourself
Strong analytical instincts - you define what a dashboard needs to answer before you build it, and you catch data problems before they become leadership problems
A bias toward action and ownership - comfortable operating independently in a hyper-growth startup environment
What Will Set You Apart
Direct Rippling implementation or re-implementation experience at a scaling company
Exposure to people analytics tools (ChartHop, Visier) or BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI)
Familiarity with APIs or data pipelines to scope engineering work and validate delivery
Experience building a people systems function during a high-growth period
Experience supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations in manufacturing, defense, or similarly complex environments
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $160,000 - $210,000 (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.

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.

Every engineer at Hadrian ships software. The speed and quality of that work depends directly on the tools, pipelines, and workflows underneath it. The Builder Tools team owns that foundation.
As a Software Engineer on the Builder Tools team, you will build and maintain the CI/CD infrastructure, internal tooling, and AI-assisted development workflows that every engineering team at Hadrian depends on. Your users are Hadrian's engineers, and your job is to make them faster. That means owning shared pipeline libraries, reducing friction in the SDLC, making internal systems accessible to AI coding agents, and automating the work that slows teams down.
This is a high-leverage role. The systems you build touch every engineer at Hadrian, and the improvements you ship show up immediately in how fast the company moves.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline libraries that abstract build, release, and deployment events for use across multiple engineering teams
Design and build internal tools, APIs, and CLI utilities that reduce developer friction and automate recurring engineering tasks — dependency upgrades, credential rotation, routine maintenance
Help make Hadrian's internal systems API-ready for AI coding agents; build harness tooling, context systems, and feedback loops that improve the quality of AI-generated contributions in our codebase
Instrument and monitor developer productivity systems; surface bottlenecks and measure the impact of tooling improvements through clear metrics
Partner with application development teams to identify needs, implement CI/CD best practices, and drive adoption of new tooling across the org
Join the on-call rotation to support systems and services during production incidents; contribute to root cause analyses and postmortems
Participate in code reviews and author technical proposals that raise the engineering bar for the Builder Tools team
5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years focused on CI/CD, developer tooling, or build infrastructure
Hands-on experience building and maintaining complex CI/CD pipelines and build infrastructure — pipeline-as-code, artifact management, multi-environment deployments
Strong programming fundamentals in Go, Python, TypeScript, or similar; track record of writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code
Experience with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes or similar)
Solid understanding of source control concepts and practical Git experience
Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems and resolve issues efficiently
A developer empathy mindset: you build tools that are easy to adopt, well-documented, and reduce toil rather than create it
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
Genuine curiosity and hands-on experience with AI coding tools and agents — Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar — and opinions about what makes them work well in a real codebase
Experience building API-ready interfaces or harness tooling for AI coding agents
Prior work on developer experience or engineering productivity programs
Familiarity with GitOps principles and workflows
Experience with static analysis, automated PR pipelines, or code review tooling
Background in fast-paced or scaling startup environments
The Builder Tools team is being built from the ground up, and this is one of the foundational IC roles on it. As the team grows and the function matures, there are opportunities to specialize in AI-assisted developer workflows, CI/CD platform ownership, or SDK/API development — and to grow into a senior IC or tech lead role as the org scales.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $120,000- $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.

The systems you build touch every engineer at Hadrian, and the improvements you ship show up immediately in how fast the company moves.\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n - Build and maintain CI/CD pipeline libraries that abstract build, release, and deployment events for use across multiple engineering teams\n\n - Design and build internal tools, APIs, and CLI utilities that reduce developer friction and automate recurring engineering tasks — dependency upgrades, credential rotation, routine maintenance\n\n - 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\n\n - Instrument and monitor developer productivity systems; surface bottlenecks and measure the impact of tooling improvements through clear metrics\n\n - Partner with application development teams to identify needs, implement CI/CD best practices, and drive adoption of new tooling across the org\n\n - Join the on-call rotation to support systems and services during production incidents; contribute to root cause analyses and postmortems\n\n - Participate in code reviews and author technical proposals that raise the engineering bar for the Builder Tools team\n\n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - 5–8 years of software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years focused on CI/CD, developer tooling, or build infrastructure\n\n - Hands-on experience building and maintaining complex CI/CD pipelines and build infrastructure — pipeline-as-code, artifact management, multi-environment deployments\n\n - Strong programming fundamentals in Go, Python, TypeScript, or similar; track record of writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code\n\n - Experience with Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes or similar)\n\n - Solid understanding of source control concepts and practical Git experience\n\n - Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems and resolve issues efficiently\n\n - A developer empathy mindset: you build tools that are easy to adopt, well-documented, and reduce toil rather than create it\n\n - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience\n\n\n\nWHAT WILL SET YOU APART\n\n - 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\n\n - Experience building API-ready interfaces or harness tooling for AI coding agents\n\n - Prior work on developer experience or engineering productivity programs\n\n - Familiarity with GitOps principles and workflows\n\n - Experience with static analysis, automated PR pipelines, or code review tooling\n\n - Background in fast-paced or scaling startup environments\n\n\n\nGROWTH & TRAJECTORY\n\nThe 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.\n\n\n\nCompensation\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $120,000- $250,000 (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. 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. Learn more about the ITAR here.\n\n \n\n\nUSE OF AI IN HIRING\n\nHadrian uses AI-assisted tools in our recruiting and hiring processes to help our team work more efficiently. This may include tools that help organize and analyze recruiting data, as well as an AI-powered notetaker that can record and transcribe interviews and help coordinate feedback.

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

Design overhead material movement where floor conveyance or AMRs are the wrong tool: bridge cranes, gantries, hoists, lift assists, below-the-hook tooling, safe zones, and operator workflow.
Own traffic and lift-zone management: intersections, charging zones, docking, crane envelopes, mixed human / robot aisles, pedestrian crossings, suspended-load boundaries, and safety zones.
Integrate AMRs, conveyance, and overhead movement with MES / WMS, PLCs, cell controllers, and crane controls via VDA 5050, OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, and discrete / safety-rated handshakes where appropriate.
Simulate (AnyLogic / FlexSim / Emulate3D / Plant Simulation) to validate throughput, WIP, aisle layout, charging locations, crane coverage, lift zones, and safety constraints before buying hardware.
Partner with cell-level MEs on pickup / dropoff / lift interfaces: dunnage, presentation, hard stops, rigging points, sensors, clearances, and recovery after failed transfers.
Build the material-flow standards and runbook every future factory inherits.
Bachelor's in ME, EE, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or related.
3+ years deploying AMRs / AGVs, conveyance, overhead material-handling equipment, or hybrid material-flow systems in a production environment.
Has personally commissioned at least one fleet (MiR, OTTO, Fetch, Zebra, Geek+, 6 River), one full conveyance run (Hytrol, Dematic, Intralox, Daifuku), crane / gantry / hoist cell interface, or similar production material-flow system.
Working knowledge of VDA 5050, OPC-UA, MQTT, REST, PLC handshakes, and MES / WMS integration.
Safety fluency for mixed pedestrian / robot aisles, lift zones, suspended loads, and operator recovery workflows.
Simulation reps (AnyLogic / FlexSim / Emulate3D / Siemens Plant Simulation) or equivalent layout / throughput modeling.
Factory-scale material-flow reps (20+ AMRs, full-factory conveyance network, or hybrid AMR / conveyance / overhead movement system).
ROS / ROS2 exposure for when vendor fleets fall short.
Crane / hoist / lift-assist integration experience, especially around heavy or awkward aerospace hardware.
Python for data pulls and fleet / WMS / equipment analytics.
Lean / industrial engineering fundamentals (takt, kanban, water-spider replacement).
EV / battery / aerospace / maritime material-flow at volume.

Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.
Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.
For this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future.

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
The Manufacturing Engineer, Factory Construction is embedded in the field, driving construction execution with the rigor and ownership mindset of a manufacturing engineer — systematic, schedule-obsessed, and focused on outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of construction management and factory development, ensuring what gets built matches what production actually needs. This role requires a dynamic player who is constantly finding ways to make forward progress through uncertainty and take calculated risks. Ultimately, this role is partnering closely with engineering to intake requirements and translating them to a built reality – on schedule and in budget.
What You'll Do
Field Execution & Contractor Oversight: Serve as the day-to-day owner's representative on active construction sites. Hold GCs and subcontractors accountable to schedule, quality, and sequencing. Identify and resolve issues before they escalate.
Schedule & Problem Solving: Own near-term lookahead planning and critical path awareness. Apply first-principles thinking to recover lost time and protect delivery milestones.
Requirements Partnership: Intake facility requirements by engineering, often driven by machine 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 Bluebeam for markups and document control.
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 4+ years of hands-on field experience in lieu of degree.
2–4 years in construction management, capital project execution, manufacturing facilities development or equivalent project management experience.
Direct field ownership of projects with GC or subcontractor oversight.
Proficiency in Procore and Bluebeam.
Willingness to travel up to 50%.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience in regulated or high-consequence industries (nuclear, energy, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing).
Background bridging construction execution and manufacturing operations.
Familiarity with Lean construction or pull planning methodologies.
Exposure to design-for-construction or design-for-operations efforts.
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

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
In this role you'll define the technical direction for the infrastructure platform powering automated manufacturing across multiple factory sites. You'll shape the architecture spanning cloud, edge, and factory-floor systems, setting the standards, patterns, and engineering culture that the entire organization builds on. You'll move fluidly between strategy and implementation: one day driving a multi-cluster Kubernetes architecture decision, the next pairing on a Terraform module that makes it real. This role demands someone who has simplified complex systems at org scale, built platforms that engineers love to use, and grown the people around them. Not just shipped impressive infrastructure, but made everyone else's infrastructure better too.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform/OpenTofu
Build and manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS in cloud, K0s/K3s at the edge)
Build CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows with GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
Develop reusable infrastructure patterns: Terraform modules, Helm charts, CUE schemas
Architect networking between sites, edge devices, and cloud
Implement monitoring and observability with Prometheus/Grafana and Datadog
Support edge computing and IoT device deployments on factory floors
Drive build-vs-buy decisions and technology evaluations
Establish engineering standards and best practices
Represent infrastructure in cross-functional architecture reviews
Make architecture decisions under ambiguity and document them as ADRs
Identify systemic operational gaps and drive automation that eliminates recurring toil
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response
Write clear documentation and runbooks
What We’re Looking For
8+ years in infrastructure or platform engineering
Demonstrated ability in infrastructure design across cloud, containers, and networking
Can go from architecture whiteboard to production implementation, and has done it repeatedly
Deep Terraform/IaC skills with module development and testing experience
Production Kubernetes experience including troubleshooting, scaling, and multi-cluster patterns
Strong security instincts: threat modeling, least privilege, compliance fundamentals
Track record of building reusable patterns that other engineers adopt
History of reducing complexity, not just adding capability
Strong documentation and communication skills
Comfortable mentoring teammates and sharing knowledge
What Will Set You Apart
Deep hands-on experience with Terraform module architecture and testing
Background building CI/CD platforms, not just pipelines
Experience with edge or IoT infrastructure in manufacturing, defense, or robotics
Track record of reducing infrastructure complexity, not just adding to it
History of building patterns that other teams adopted organically
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $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.

Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.
Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.
Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.

","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\n\nTHE ROLE\n\n - Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.\n\n - Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.\n\n - This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.\n\nFactory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.\n\nYou do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n - Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.\n\n - Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.\n\n - Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.\n\n - Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.\n\n - Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - 2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.\n\n - A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.\n\n - Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.\n\n - Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.\n\n - A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.\n\n - Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.\n\n - Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.\n\n - Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.\n\n - Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.\n\n - Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (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.

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 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.

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 scaling the next generation of autonomous precision manufacturing across aerospace, national security, and advanced manufacturing programs. As part of this mission, we are building out a world-class additive manufacturing capability — and we need a capable Technical Program Manager who has done this before.
We are looking for someone who has taken complex metal AM equipment from development through industrialization, built the automation and process infrastructure around it, and driven it to production-grade reliability. This is not a coordination role — it is an ownership role.
You will serve as the program execution backbone for our additive manufacturing buildout, managing cross-functional delivery across engineering, operations, supply chain, software, and customer-facing programs. As Hadrian expands factory footprint across new and existing locations, you will own the infrastructure and program milestones that make it happen.
Own end-to-end delivery of AM programs — from requirements and process development through equipment qualification, factory integration, and production handoff. This includes LPBF system commissioning, FAT/SAT execution.
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.

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.

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
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 $120,000 - $300,000 (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.

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
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.
The Role:
As Director of Training Operations, you will own the strategy, structure, and execution quality of Hadrian's Training Operations function across all active factory locations and manufacturing capabilities. Lead a team of Training Operations Managers, ensure training programs are running consistently and to a high standard, and maintain alignment between training capacity and production demand at all times. Ensure the function meets all applicable compliance and regulatory requirements across factory assignments, and that training execution is always audit-ready.
What You’ll Do
Own the strategy and execution quality of Hadrian's Training Operations function across all factory locations and manufacturing capabilities — every technician trained, certified, and production-ready on schedule
Directly lead a team of Training Operations Managers across F2 (Torrance), F3 (Mesa), F4 (Muscle Shoals), and F5-RRAD, developing their capability and holding a high bar for performance
Partner with Factory GMs and Program Managers to keep training capacity ahead of production ramp schedules and new capability launches
Establish and enforce global competency and certification standards across all capabilities, identifying where standards slip and driving corrective action
Own compliance and audit readiness across AS9100, NADCAP, and applicable government contract obligations — partnering with Quality and Program Management to stay ahead of requirements
Build the headcount and capacity plan for the Training Operations function and produce regular reporting on workforce certification status and production readiness
What We’re Looking For
10+ years in manufacturing operations, training, or workforce development, with at least 3–5 years leading teams across multiple sites and capabilities
Proven track record building or scaling a training or operational function in a high-growth, technically complex environment
Has led leaders — not just individuals — and can hold accountability across a distributed team without micromanaging
Enough technical credibility to engage with engineers and factory SMEs and make sound judgments about training quality against real manufacturing complexity
Experience owning compliance and audit readiness under a regulated quality system (AS9100, NADCAP, FAA, or equivalent)
What Will Set You Apart
Direct experience in CNC Machining, Welding, NDT, or another precision manufacturing capability
Background in a high-stakes operational environment outside manufacturing — flight line, kitchen, logistics hub, MRO facility — where execution quality has immediate consequences
Military training command, standardization, or depot operations background
Experience standing up a greenfield site or launching a new capability from scratch
Familiarity with skills matrix platforms (AG5 or similar) and certification-gated production workflows

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:
The People Operations team builds the infrastructure that lets Hadrian scale. We think in systems, work like product managers, and put the people experience at the center of everything we do.
We are hiring a People Operations Program Manager to identify where our processes break down, build smarter workflows, and drive the strategic programs that shape the employee experience at Hadrian. You'll be the person who looks at how we work and asks 'how do we make this 10x better'—whether that means redesigning a process, introducing an AI-powered solution, or owning a company-wide people program end to end.
One quarter you're standing up our tiered support model and mapping AI automation opportunities. The next you're running the performance review cycle or turning engagement survey results into action. You are a strong project manager, a clear thinker, and a builder - and you thrive when the scope is broad and the work is meaningful.
What You’ll Do
Diagnose manual, repetitive, or high-friction processes across the employee lifecycle and lead the end-to-end build of their redesign—scoping the solution, coordinating stakeholders, and driving implementation of AI-enabled improvements.
Architect and implement our tiered People support model, ensuring employees get the right level of support at the right time—from self-service resources to specialist escalation—and that the model scales as we grow.
Use Jira Service Management and People data to monitor operational performance, surface trends, and bring data-driven recommendations to People leadership on where to invest time and resources.
Lead strategic People initiatives as they arise; acting as the program management engine for the team on high-priority projects that need structure, momentum, and an owner.
Build and maintain internal People team resources - playbooks, SOPs, project trackers, and knowledge bases - so institutional knowledge is captured and operations run consistently at scale.
Partner closely with People Partners, Recruiting, Engineering, and Finance to align People programs with business needs and ensure cross-functional dependencies are managed proactively.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in People operations, HR consulting, program management, or a closely related field, with a track record of owning complex, cross-functional initiatives from scoping through delivery.
Demonstrated experience with process improvement and operational design - you've looked at broken or inefficient workflows and built better ones, ideally with technology or automation as part of the solution.
Familiarity with AI tools and automation platforms (Claude, Zapier, Workato, or similar) and genuine curiosity about how they can be applied to People operations.
Strong project management fundamentals: you work from a plan, communicate proactively, manage dependencies, and don't let things fall through the cracks.
Comfortable with data - you can pull a report, interpret what it's telling you, and translate it into a recommendation that a business leader can act on.
High adaptability: you're energized by a shifting scope, not unsettled by it, and you bring structure to ambiguous situations rather than waiting for it to be handed to you.
What Will Set You Apart
You've worked in a high-growth, operationally intense environment—startup, manufacturing, defense, or similar—where you had to build programs while the business was moving at full speed.
You have hands-on experience with Jira Service Management or a comparable service management platform, and you understand how to use it as a strategic operational tool rather than just a ticketing system.
You've led an AI or automation implementation in a People or operations context - not just recommended it, but scoped it, rolled it out, and measured the impact.
You're an exceptional communicator who can write a crisp project brief for the CHRO and a clear how-to guide for a new hire on the factory floor—and you know the difference between the two.
You see the People function as a lever for business performance, not a support function that reacts to requests.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is 155,000 - 185,000 (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
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.

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.

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.
Copilot is our system for automating Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis and generating manufacturing processes. We work directly with some of the best operators in the world to identify high-impact opportunities to automate and augment with software.
Our team owns problems end-to-end: we design the software, define the manufacturing processes, and ensure they can be executed reliably in our factories. The work spans computational geometry, CAD/CAM integrations, high-performance systems, and full-stack web tooling. We execute whatever is required to deliver a working solution and best serve our users.
The DFM team within copilot is building the manufacturing data intelligence layer that serves as the tip of the spear for our automation stack. This platform ingests, interprets, and reasons over the full spectrum of manufacturing data (mechanical drawings, quality documentation, CAD data) and transforms it into structured, actionable information for the factory.
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will own the ML lifecycle for the language models that understand and reason about the content in manufacturing data packages.
Research, develop, and deploy fine-tuned language models for document classification, key information extraction, table parsing, and multi-page/document reasoning
Work alongside the core engineering team to build and maintain annotation tooling, implement active learning loops, and engineer synthetic data augmentation strategies
Develop evaluation frameworks that extend beyond accuracy and CER, precisely quantifying system behavior and user impact
Collaborate with the other members of the machine learning team to set the technical and product roadmaps for the AI platform
Burn down the long tail, as every percentage point of accuracy maps to man-years of time savings at our scale
5-8 years of professional AI/ML experience, with at least 2 years working directly with large language models (fine-tuning, RLHF/DPO, or pre-training), with special consideration for work with layout-aware models
Strong Python and PyTorch fluency: You've written custom training loops, loss functions, and data loaders from scratch when needed
Production deployment ownership: You've shipped models to production and have been responsible for endpoint and model health
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent industry experience valued equally
You have a passion for manufacturing and believe that the industry needs better software
Previously worked in aerospace, defense, or manufacturing, and have experience working with manufacturing data
Published research, achieved SOA results on relevant benchmarks, or contribute to open-source frameworks
Prior experience working in a high-ownership startup environment
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $160,000 - $300,000 (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 seeking a Head of Qualification to own and scale how parts get qualified for production across our defense programs. This is the leader who turns incomplete, legacy technical data into production-ready manufacturing data and source-approved parts, at speed and at scale.
Qualification is its own discipline at Hadrian: the end-to-end pipeline that takes a part from intake through technical data evaluation, gap resolution, qualification data package assembly, first article verification, and part qualification to source approval. The Director of Qualification owns that pipeline — the process, the tooling that runs it, the team of Product Qualification Managers (PQMs) and engineers who do the substantive technical work, and the customer-facing relationships that move parts through approval.
This person will define what qualification means at Hadrian, hold a clear line on what is and isn't in scope, and build a function that gives our customers full visibility into where every part is and what's blocking it, while keeping qualification throughput and confidence in the data extremely high.
Own Hadrian's end-to-end qualification function — from part intake through technical data evaluation, gap resolution, qualification data package assembly, first article verification, and source approval — in alignment with customer requirements
Define and maintain qualification scope, and own the qualification pipeline and its workflow automation
Lead the technical core: direct Product Qualification Managers (PQMs) and Manufacturing/Quality Engineers performing technical data evaluation and qualification data package generation, producing production-ready design data sets and TDPs
Own qualification performance and reporting — tracking metrics such as time-to-qualification, parts in pipeline, parts qualified, and parts overseen per PQM — and serve as Hadrian's qualification interface to the customer, running part prioritization jointly
Partner closely with reverse engineering, manufacturing engineering, and quality to ensure qualification outputs translate into producible, source-approved parts, while hiring, developing, and scaling a high-performing qualification organization
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical field, and 8+ years of experience in qualification, quality, manufacturing engineering, or related leadership roles
Detailed knowledge of part/product qualification, first article verification, technical data packages (TDPs), and source approval; aviation component qualification is a plus
Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply complex regulatory and customer requirements based on intent and risk, and to translate them into clear, practical workflows
Demonstrated ability to build, scale, or significantly improve systems, processes, or organizations in complex, ambiguous environments, including leading and developing high-performing teams
Strong decision-making in ambiguous, high-risk, customer-facing situations, with excellent communication and cross-functional leadership across engineering, operations, and government customers
Direct experience with DoW qualification, airworthiness, or source approval processes
Hands-on experience with technical data package development, reverse engineering, and proprietary data/data rights issues
Experience standing up qualification pipelines, workflow automation, or supporting tools
Strong track record of balancing compliance requirements with practical, scalable implementation
Experience in high-growth or startup manufacturing environments
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.

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
The Autonomous Factory Systems team builds the software that gives Hadrian's factories the ability to sense, decide, and act autonomously. This includes the core robotics stack — perception, behaviors, planning, collision avoidance, and high-level control — alongside orchestration between robots and manufacturing machines and the hardware abstraction layer that connects our software to the machines on the floor.
You will build and manage a team of engineers focused on the robotics side of this stack. This is a people-first management role: your focus is on hiring, growing, and supporting a strong team, while staying close enough to the technical work to help guide direction and staffing decisions.
What You’ll Do
Own the people leadership of your engineers: hiring, onboarding, mentorship, career growth, and performance.
Build a hiring engine for robotics talent — define the bar, run a strong interview process, and help recruit a top-tier team across perception, planning, behaviors, and control.
Ensure engineers are engaged, growing, and set up to do their best work; regularly assess team health and address issues before they become problems.
Have real input into technical direction and where we invest headcount, in close partnership with the engineers and technical leads who drive architecture and design.
Partner with Hardware, Controls, Product, and Operations to translate business priorities into a sequenced roadmap, and make sure the team is resourced and organized to deliver it.
Continuously improve the team's engineering practices and developer lifecycle: planning, design review, code review, testing, simulation, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of engineering management experience leading robotics, autonomy, or other complex technical teams in production.
A genuine passion for people management — you care about your engineers' growth and happiness as much as you care about what the team ships.
A track record of hiring and building strong technical teams, including for hard-to-fill or specialized roles.
Technical fluency in robotics concepts (perception, planning, behaviors, control, collision avoidance) to have informed conversations about tradeoffs, evaluate technical leads' proposals, and contribute a useful point of view on direction and prioritization — without needing to be the architect yourself.
Strong judgment on organizational design: how to structure a team, allocate headcount across projects, and balance depth vs. breadth as the stack grows.
Excellent communication and cross-functional partnership skills — you can align engineers, technical leads, hardware/controls partners, and leadership.
A track record of running a healthy team: clear expectations, direct feedback, and a strong sense of ownership among your engineers.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes, physical systems, and short iteration cycles.
M.S. in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field.
What Will Set You Apart
A track record of scaling a team through a period of fast headcount growth, including building out interview loops and onboarding from scratch.
Experience mentoring engineers to grow into broader technical leadership roles.
Experience managing engineers across multiple robotics disciplines (e.g., perception and planning)
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $249,000 - $299,000 (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.

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
The Autonomous Factory Systems team builds the software that gives Hadrian's factories the ability to sense, decide, and act autonomously. This includes the core robotics stack — perception, behaviors, planning, collision avoidance, and high-level control — alongside orchestration between robots and manufacturing machines and the hardware abstraction layer that connects our software to the machines on the floor.
You will lead the Systems Test division for Autonomous Factory Systems — building the team of test and simulation test engineers, owning full test plan coverage across development and release, and directing simulation test environments driven by those test plans.
What You’ll Do
Build and lead the Systems Test division — hire and grow a team of test engineers and simulation test engineers, establishing technical standards, tools, and processes for the group
Drive full test plan coverage across all Autonomous Factory Systems programs, from early development through production release, ensuring systems are validated against real-world operating conditions
Direct simulation test development — build out simulation test that model the edge cases and off-nominal conditions identified in systems test plans, translating those test plans into simulation test coverage of manufacturing cell operation
Set technical direction across disciplines — design test approaches spanning hardware sub-components developed in-house and the integrated Autonomous Manufacturing Cells that combine machines, robotics, and orchestration software
Stay deeply technical — focus on test architecture, simulation test methodology, and engineering standards as a hands-on technical leader; this is not a people-management position
Partner cross-functionally with hardware, robotics, and software integration teams to embed testability and simulation test coverage into system design from the start
Define quality gates — establish the criteria and processes that determine when a system is ready to move from development to release
What We’re Looking For
B.S. in Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline; formal systems engineering training (e.g. INCOSE CSEP or equivalent coursework in requirements management, V&V, and systems architecture) is a plus
10+ years of systems engineering or test engineering experience for complex electromechanical or robotic systems, with a track record of technical leadership
Experience building and scaling test strategies for integrated hardware and software systems
Experience directing simulation test environments used to model system behavior, edge cases, and failure modes ahead of or alongside physical testing
Familiarity with robotics, industrial automation, or manufacturing cell environments (machines, robotic arms, orchestration/control software)
A track record of technical leadership — setting direction, raising the bar on engineering practices, and growing the technical capability of a team
Comfort operating across the full stack of a program: from hardware sub-component test cases to system-level simulation test of autonomous behavior
Excellent communication skills — translating test and simulation test findings into clear, actionable input for engineering and program leadership
What Will Set You Apart
Experience with continuous integration/test pipelines for hardware-in-the-loop or simulation-in-the-loop systems
Background in functional safety, reliability engineering, or systems validation in manufacturing, robotics, or automotive/aerospace domains
Experience standing up a new team or function within an engineering organization

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
Experience contributing meaningfully to technical hiring — defining role requirements, evaluating candidates, and helping raise team caliber over time
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

The Role
Hadrian's Data Analytics team builds and owns the semantic layer that every dashboard, board metric, and AI Analyst answer at Hadrian resolves to. As Hadrian scales from a handful of factories to twenty and beyond, this team makes sure a metric means the same thing in every factory, every dashboard, and every decision — one definition, one number, no matter who's asking. This is the foundation that drives operational intelligence at scale: the layer that turns raw factory data into metrics people can trust and act on. You'll build it in close partnership with Data Platform Engineering, Data Analysts, and the business domains the team serves.
You will architect and own Hadrian's semantic and metric layer — the canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, and refresh cadence that keep every team, and the AI Analyst, pulling the same number. Day to day, you'll build certified data marts from cross-domain raw datasets, model them dimensionally to scale from one factory to twenty and beyond, and set the analytical standards the whole team works to — naming, metric definitions, testing, documentation, and CI/CD. You'll run data-quality programs end to end, from profiling and anomaly detection to root-cause analysis, partner with Data Platform Engineering on pipeline architecture, data contracts, and quality SLAs, and mentor analysts on modeling and testing discipline. When a plant manager, a board deck, and the AI Analyst all cite the same yield or on-time-delivery number, it's because you defined it once, in one place.
What You’ll Do
Architect and maintain the certified dataset layer in dbt: models, tests, documentation, and SLAs the whole company trusts.
Build well-modeled, context-rich datasets that power self-service analytics, operations research, and LLM-based data apps at company scale.
Define metric standards: canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, refresh cadence.
Implement canonical data models and semantic layer that scale from 1 to 20+ factories.
Partner with Data Platform Engineering to harden the unified data platform and set standards.
Partner with OR Scientists and Data Scientists on feature-set prep and model-output stores.
Evaluate and recommend analytical tooling (BI platforms, notebook environments, metric layers).
Define analytical-engineering standards: naming, testing, CI/CD for the dbt project, documentation.
Mentor the Data Analysts to drive consistency and governance across datasets.
What We’re Looking For
Production ownership of data models (years scale with level; see Level & Justification).
Expert SQL (window functions, CTEs) with a real grasp of query performance and cost.
Ships production data pipelines with Spark, dbt, and Dagster or equivalents.
Strong data-modeling foundation (normalization, denormalization, star/snowflake schemas).
Familiar with lake and warehouse internals (columnar stores, Iceberg catalog, partitioning, materializations).
Builds semantic layers with dbt, Snowflake, or Databricks.
Python for reusable pipeline and data-app utilities.
End-to-end ownership, with a quality bar that doesn't stall progress.
What Will Set You Apart
Cross-functional data marts and pipelines.
ClickHouse optimization (materialized views, projections, TTL).
Manufacturing statistics: SPC, control charts, process capability.
Data mesh and data-product concepts.
Orchestration depth (Dagster, Airflow).
Scaling analytics across multiple sites or business units.
Background in Operations Research, industrial engineering, or quantitative finance.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $150,000 - $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.

You'll build it in close partnership with Data Platform Engineering, Data Analysts, and the business domains the team serves.\n\nYou will architect and own Hadrian's semantic and metric layer — the canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, and refresh cadence that keep every team, and the AI Analyst, pulling the same number. Day to day, you'll build certified data marts from cross-domain raw datasets, model them dimensionally to scale from one factory to twenty and beyond, and set the analytical standards the whole team works to — naming, metric definitions, testing, documentation, and CI/CD. You'll run data-quality programs end to end, from profiling and anomaly detection to root-cause analysis, partner with Data Platform Engineering on pipeline architecture, data contracts, and quality SLAs, and mentor analysts on modeling and testing discipline. When a plant manager, a board deck, and the AI Analyst all cite the same yield or on-time-delivery number, it's because you defined it once, in one place.\n\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\n - Architect and maintain the certified dataset layer in dbt: models, tests, documentation, and SLAs the whole company trusts.\n\n - Build well-modeled, context-rich datasets that power self-service analytics, operations research, and LLM-based data apps at company scale.\n\n - Define metric standards: canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, refresh cadence.\n\n - Implement canonical data models and semantic layer that scale from 1 to 20+ factories.\n\n - Partner with Data Platform Engineering to harden the unified data platform and set standards.\n\n - Partner with OR Scientists and Data Scientists on feature-set prep and model-output stores.\n\n - Evaluate and recommend analytical tooling (BI platforms, notebook environments, metric layers).\n\n - Define analytical-engineering standards: naming, testing, CI/CD for the dbt project, documentation.\n\n - Mentor the Data Analysts to drive consistency and governance across datasets.\n\n \n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n\n - Production ownership of data models (years scale with level; see Level & Justification).\n\n - Expert SQL (window functions, CTEs) with a real grasp of query performance and cost.\n\n - Ships production data pipelines with Spark, dbt, and Dagster or equivalents.\n\n - Strong data-modeling foundation (normalization, denormalization, star/snowflake schemas).\n\n - Familiar with lake and warehouse internals (columnar stores, Iceberg catalog, partitioning, materializations).\n\n - Builds semantic layers with dbt, Snowflake, or Databricks.\n\n - Python for reusable pipeline and data-app utilities.\n\n - End-to-end ownership, with a quality bar that doesn't stall progress.\n\n \n\nWhat Will Set You Apart\n\n - Cross-functional data marts and pipelines.\n\n - ClickHouse optimization (materialized views, projections, TTL).\n\n - Manufacturing statistics: SPC, control charts, process capability.\n\n - Data mesh and data-product concepts.\n\n - Orchestration depth (Dagster, Airflow).\n\n - Scaling analytics across multiple sites or business units.\n\n - Background in Operations Research, industrial engineering, or quantitative finance.\n\n \n\nCompensation\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $150,000 - $230,000 (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. 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.

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.

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
At Hadrian, data is part of the factory's operating system. The scheduler deciding what runs next, models predicting cycle time and demand, systems interpreting engineering drawings, analytics tracking production, and operators understanding what is happening on the floor all depend on the same thing: a trustworthy path from the physical and software systems that generate data to the teams and products that use it.
The Data Platform team owns that path. We build the shared infrastructure for ingestion and CDC, event streaming, the warehouse and lakehouse, orchestration, data contracts, quality, lineage, and the foundational data models that sit underneath Analytics, Data Science, Operations Research, ML, and operational software. Today that includes Snowflake, Iceberg on S3, PeerDB, Redpanda/Kafka, Dagster, dbt, Kubernetes, and protobuf/gRPC. Some of our data begins in conventional software systems. Some begins on CNC machines, inspection equipment, PLCs, engineering files, and the factory floor.
As an Senior Engineering Manager, you will build and lead the team responsible for making this platform reliable, coherent, and useful as Hadrian scales to many factories. You will own the people, execution, operating quality, and direction of the team while staying technically close enough to challenge architecture, understand failure modes, and help engineers make good tradeoffs.
Build the team and platform that become Hadrian's data backbone. Lead the engineers responsible for the path from machines and operational systems to the trusted datasets, streams, and interfaces that scheduling, analytics, ML, software, and factory operations depend on.
Own the Data Platform roadmap and delivery. Turn ambiguous needs across Software, Infrastructure, Analytics, Data Science, Operations Research, ML, and Manufacturing into clear priorities, interfaces, owners, and commitments.
Raise the operational bar for the platform: reliability, data-quality SLAs, observability, incident response, backfills and recovery, cost, security, schema evolution, provenance, and clear ownership when something fails.
Partner with senior engineers and technical leads on architecture across CDC and streaming, Snowflake and Iceberg, orchestration, data contracts, schema governance, and the interfaces between the data platform and its consumers. You do not need to design every system yourself, but you need the depth to ask the hard questions and recognize when important semantics or failure modes are missing.
Turn repeated one-off work into paved roads. Build standards, contracts, tooling, documentation, and migration paths that let other engineering and data teams move faster without creating a collection of bespoke pipelines.
Hire and grow an exceptional team. Set a clear technical and performance bar, give direct feedback, develop engineers into broader technical leaders, delegate real ownership, and build a team whose capability grows faster than its headcount.
A track record leading engineers responsible for production data infrastructure, distributed systems, developer platforms, infrastructure, or similarly critical technical systems. For Senior EM, you have led multiple substantial workstreams or teams and developed senior technical leaders.
Strong technical judgment in modern data and platform systems: event streaming and CDC, warehouses and lakehouses, orchestration, schema evolution, data modeling, distributed-system failure modes, and the tradeoffs behind reliable data delivery.
Experience building for environments with real constraints. You understand that the architecture changes when data comes from hardware, machines, devices, files, telemetry, regulated systems, edge environments, or other sources that do not behave like a clean application database.
A real platform mindset. You think in shared abstractions, contracts, ownership, operating guarantees, adoption, migration, deprecation, and paved roads — not just a set of infrastructure components owned by one team.
An operator's mindset. You know what your systems promise, how you know they are healthy, what happens when those promises fail, and how an incident becomes a permanent improvement rather than a recurring story.
Strong people leadership and high agency across organizational boundaries. Your engineers know what is expected of them, where they stand, and how they can grow; when a dependency is blocking the team, you go resolve it rather than simply reporting it upward.
5+ years of management experience in manufacturing, semiconductors, hardware, robotics, autonomy, industrial systems, test/measurement, or edge computing, especially where the data platform had to bridge software with physical systems. Backgrounds from companies such as NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Xilinx, Altera, Qualcomm, Applied Materials, Lam Research, Tesla, Anduril, Shield AI, or similar environments are especially relevant.
Experience with heterogeneous data beyond application tables: telemetry, events, files, device identity, timestamps and clock drift, units, provenance, schema drift, deletes, late or out-of-order data, partial records, retries, and backfills.
Experience taking a data or infrastructure platform from an early working system to a broadly adopted internal product used by many teams.
Experience operating in security-sensitive or regulated environments such as aerospace, defense, FedRAMP, CMMC, or other environments where data governance and access control are part of the architecture.
A track record of building strong hiring and onboarding systems and helping senior engineers become effective technical leads, Staff+ engineers, or future managers.

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
The Factory Construction Manager is the field-based owner of construction execution — the person on the ground making sure our factories get built on schedule, on budget, and to the quality standard our manufacturing operations demand. This role sits at the center of factory development, translating the project plan into daily forward progress and holding the field accountable to it. As we scale our manufacturing footprint, the pace and complexity of construction only increases; this role is what keeps that momentum from slipping. It requires someone who thrives in a dynamic, high-consequence environment, who runs toward problems rather than around them, and who treats the schedule as a commitment rather than a suggestion.
You will serve as the day-to-day owner's representative on active construction sites, working with project teams to drive progress against the schedule and customer milestones while holding general contractors and subcontractors accountable to safety, quality, and sequencing. You'll lead weekly coordination meetings to keep contractors aligned to the plan, track production and quantities in the field to catch schedule and budget drift early and mitigate any potential delays. You will write daily reports that give the broader project team clear visibility into progress and critical issues. Working cross-functionally with the project team, you'll support project planning sessions, validate contractor invoicing, and champion a strong safety and quality culture across every phase of the build. Ultimately, you own what gets built in the field — and you make sure it matches what the project promised.
What You’ll Do
Schedule Performance Oversight: Drive construction progress in the field in accordance with the project schedule and customer set milestones. Review the project schedule weekly to determine if any activities are behind schedule and address with contractors in weekly coordination meeting.
Daily Construction Coordination: Support daily coordination with construction contractors in the field to ensure that work remains on track.
Daily Construction Reporting: Write daily reports sighting construction progress and critical issues.
Site Safety Ownership: Ensure proper safety programs and culture are being implemented in the field.
Site Quality Ownership: Ensure that construction contractors are upholding quality standards throughout the lifecycle of the project
Construction Project Planning: Support the project team in project planning sessions to stay ahead of work out in the field. Work with the contractors to develop necessary construction execution plans to drive work.
Weekly Contractor Planning: Conduct weekly construction coordination meetings with subcontractors to establish a plan of action in accordance with the schedule.
Weekly Production Tracking: Work with the project team to track quantities and measure progress out in the field. Work with the project team to analyze production rates in the field to compare to the schedule and budget.
Invoice Approval Support: Work with project team to validate contractor invoicing.
What We’re Looking For
15 years of construction management experience in capital project execution, manufacturing facilities, and/or industrial applications
Direct field ownership of projects with GC or subcontractor oversight
Proficiency in Procore, Bluebeam, and scheduling software (P6, MS Project, or Smartsheets)
Willingness to travel up to 50%
What Will Set You Apart
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Construction Management
An understanding of earned value metrics
Strong scheduling skills
CCM certification
OSHA 30-hour certification
FMEA risk assessment knowledge
Site surveying skills
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.
Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.
Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.
Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.
For this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

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, 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 models to production and been responsible for endpoint and model health.
A track record of running a healthy team: clear expectations, direct feedback, and a strong sense of ownership among your engineers.
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.
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.
A track record of scaling a team through a period of fast headcount growth.
Experience mentoring engineers to grow into broader technical leadership roles.

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 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 $151,000 - 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. 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.

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.

Lead functional specification, vendor RFQ/evaluation, and Site/Factory Acceptance Testing for coating, cure, ventilation, and fire-suppression/detection equipment, making build-vs-buy calls with the integrator and OEMs
Define process windows, qualify equipment, and write and validate work instructions across prep, blasting, wet paint, powder, cure, and specialty coating steps
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.

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
Factory automation is key to Hadrian’s operations. Our team owns the responsibility of designing and delivering elegant equipment solutions that bridge the gap between our core manufacturing processes and the rest of factory operations. We're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of mechanical systems, real-time control, and software architecture. You'll own the design and the outcome of equipment that powers our factory automation platform—working alongside mechanical engineers, software architects, and manufacturing teams to ship robust, scalable solutions.
This is an ownership role. You won't just define the system, you'll be responsible for delivering it on timeline, on cost, and accountable for system performance. You'll guide the team through technical decisions, partner with stakeholders to ensure we're building the right equipment, and carry each project from concept through performance verification. You'll make the hard tradeoffs, performance vs. reliability, simplicity vs. capability, speed vs. cost, in a fast-paced environment where requirements evolve as quickly as we do.
What You’ll Do
Define equipment and area design requirements, working through both the knowns and the unknowns present at conception.
Lead a cross-functional team (mechanical, controls, software, build) through the full design process — owning requirements, chairing design reviews, and driving phase gates from concept to production acceptance.
Help build the framework for how Hadrian defines, designs, builds, and deploys internally developed equipment.
Partner closely with the Factory Development and Production teams to ensure that equipment can be deployed and operated as turn key systems.
Own the outcome. This role is accountable not just for identifying problems, but for working across teams to solve them.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (electro-mechanical preferred) or equivalent experience.
8+ years designing and deploying automated industrial equipment.
Proficiency designing mechanical systems in CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or a comparable environment).
Experience working within an equipment development lifecycle or similar design lifecycle.
A track record spanning risk assessments, specification creation, design reviews, and build cycles.
Strong collaboration skills, with a history of working effectively across mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineers as well as build technicians.
What Will Set You Apart
You gravitate toward problems, not away from them.
Experience in a commissioning and/or manufacturing environment.
Hands-on experience with robotics, PLC, and motion control systems.
Solid understanding of core manufacturing technologies, pneumatics, hydraulics, welding, machining, assembly, and more.
A taste for fast-paced environments, aggressive goals, and bringing fresh ideas to attack unique manufacturing challenges.
For this role, the target salary range is $165,000 - $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. 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 an IT Systems Administrator at our Torrance HQ, your week swings between three things: writing automation, running AV for company events, and picking up escalated service desk work. You are equally at home in a code editor, at the back of an all-hands running the show, and in a Jira ticket that no one else could crack.
Our conference and event stack standardizes on Microsoft Teams in a GCC High tenant. Experience with Zoom, Google Meet, or other platforms is welcome, since you will still touch them across guest events, partner meetings, and integrations.
AV
Manage our Microsoft Teams environment day to day.
Configure, set up, document, and run GCC High Teams meetings so the people on stage never have to think about it.
Run live AV, hands-on, for all-hands, large team meetings, podcasts, and other company events.
Own break-fix for our conference rooms, including Logitech, Crestron, Q-SYS, and similar room gear.
Assist in standing up new conference rooms. Spec equipment, work with vendors, and hand back a room that works.
IT
Build automation with an AI chatbot such as Serval. Wire it into our real systems so it actually deflects work.
Write code in PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar to integrate systems and cut manual work.
Own ITSM workflows and integrations. Tune queues, forms, and automations so the service desk moves faster.
Serve as an escalation point for the service desk. Pick up the hard tickets, fix root causes, and write up what you learned.
Partner with Security, Infrastructure, and DevOps on the systems you touch.
5 or more years in IT, with real time as both a systems admin and an AV owner.
Hands-on live AV production. You have run all-hands, large team meetings, or podcasts end to end.
Deep experience with Microsoft Teams. GCC High experience is a plus. Working experience with Zoom, Google Meet, or other platforms is welcome.
Comfort with conference room gear: Logitech, Crestron, Q-SYS, and similar. You can troubleshoot a room without a manual.
Strong scripting or coding skills in PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar.
Working knowledge of ITSM platforms and ITSM automation. You have built or tuned real workflows, not just used them.
Experience building automations or chatbot flows with tools like Serval, Moveworks, or similar.
Comfort integrating systems through APIs, webhooks, and SDKs.
Comfort as an escalation point. You can pick up a stuck ticket, find the root cause, and coach the team through it.
Clear writer and calm communicator. You can brief an exec, hand off to the next tech, and write a clean runbook.
Able to work on-site at our Torrance, CA HQ. Some travel required.
Able to lift up to 50 lbs and move AV gear, racks, and hardware as needed.
Degree or coursework in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
Prior software engineering work, even at a small scale.
Experience running IT or AV inside a Microsoft GCC High or other government cloud tenant.
AV certifications such as Crestron CTS, AVIXA CTS or CTS-I, Q-SYS Level 1/2, Dante Level 1/2, or Shure.
Live streaming and broadcast experience: OBS, vMix, Wirecast, ATEM, or similar switchers and encoders.
Networking depth: VLANs, QoS for voice and video, VPN, or Wi-Fi in a campus setting.
Experience with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, or CMMC.
For this role, the target salary range is $121,000 - $145,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

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\n\nTHE ROLE\n\nAs an IT Systems Administrator at our Torrance HQ, your week swings between three things: writing automation, running AV for company events, and picking up escalated service desk work. You are equally at home in a code editor, at the back of an all-hands running the show, and in a Jira ticket that no one else could crack.\n\nOur conference and event stack standardizes on Microsoft Teams in a GCC High tenant. Experience with Zoom, Google Meet, or other platforms is welcome, since you will still touch them across guest events, partner meetings, and integrations.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\nAV\n\n - Manage our Microsoft Teams environment day to day.\n\n - Configure, set up, document, and run GCC High Teams meetings so the people on stage never have to think about it.\n\n - Run live AV, hands-on, for all-hands, large team meetings, podcasts, and other company events.\n\n - Own break-fix for our conference rooms, including Logitech, Crestron, Q-SYS, and similar room gear.\n\n - Assist in standing up new conference rooms. Spec equipment, work with vendors, and hand back a room that works.\n\nIT\n\n - Build automation with an AI chatbot such as Serval. Wire it into our real systems so it actually deflects work.\n\n - Write code in PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar to integrate systems and cut manual work.\n\n - Own ITSM workflows and integrations. Tune queues, forms, and automations so the service desk moves faster.\n\n - Serve as an escalation point for the service desk. Pick up the hard tickets, fix root causes, and write up what you learned.\n\n - Partner with Security, Infrastructure, and DevOps on the systems you touch.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - 5 or more years in IT, with real time as both a systems admin and an AV owner.\n\n - Hands-on live AV production. You have run all-hands, large team meetings, or podcasts end to end.\n\n - Deep experience with Microsoft Teams. GCC High experience is a plus. Working experience with Zoom, Google Meet, or other platforms is welcome.\n\n - Comfort with conference room gear: Logitech, Crestron, Q-SYS, and similar. You can troubleshoot a room without a manual.\n\n - Strong scripting or coding skills in PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar.\n\n - Working knowledge of ITSM platforms and ITSM automation. You have built or tuned real workflows, not just used them.\n\n - Experience building automations or chatbot flows with tools like Serval, Moveworks, or similar.\n\n - Comfort integrating systems through APIs, webhooks, and SDKs.\n\n - Comfort as an escalation point. You can pick up a stuck ticket, find the root cause, and coach the team through it.\n\n - Clear writer and calm communicator. You can brief an exec, hand off to the next tech, and write a clean runbook.\n\n - Able to work on-site at our Torrance, CA HQ. Some travel required.\n\n - Able to lift up to 50 lbs and move AV gear, racks, and hardware as needed.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WILL SET YOU APART\n\n - Degree or coursework in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.\n\n - Prior software engineering work, even at a small scale.\n\n - Experience running IT or AV inside a Microsoft GCC High or other government cloud tenant.\n\n - AV certifications such as Crestron CTS, AVIXA CTS or CTS-I, Q-SYS Level 1/2, Dante Level 1/2, or Shure.\n\n - Live streaming and broadcast experience: OBS, vMix, Wirecast, ATEM, or similar switchers and encoders.\n\n - Networking depth: VLANs, QoS for voice and video, VPN, or Wi-Fi in a campus setting.\n\n - Experience with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, or CMMC.\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $121,000 - $145,000 (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.

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.
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.
