By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Hadrian's Applications Engineering team develops 0-1 machining solutions to supercharge the throughput and capabilities of our Factory. The team focuses on developing novel solutions for CNC programming, workholding, fixturing, tooling, process control, new materials, and machining capabilities.
We are looking for an Applications Engineer to execute our Machining roadmap to scale Hadrian to be multi-factory across the US. You will work closely with Applications Engineering, CAM Operations, Software Engineering, and Robotics to push the boundaries of machining at scale and are looking to add a curious and self-motivated expert to join our already world class team.
Autonomous manufacturing workflows that run parts with minimal operator intervention
Automated metrology, in-process inspection, and closed-loop process control
Process standards that run across different machine platforms and controllers
Manufacturing observability and diagnostics: detecting tool wear, process drift, and failures early enough to recover automatically
Lights-out production of complex aerospace components
First-part introduction of high-risk, high-complexity components, new part families, and new materials, including high-temp aerospace alloys
Reducing the engineering effort required to launch a new part, and converting successful one-off processes into reusable production standards
Deploying proven capabilities from our Los Angeles factory to Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona
Develop manufacturing processes for complex aerospace and defense components, including machining strategy, tooling, workholding, probing, and inspection
Take 0-1 New Product Introduction parts from print to production for new customers, new materials, and new part families
Build the automation, process control, and software workflows that let production run without constant engineering attention
Set machine, tooling, and process standards adopted across Hadrian factories
Diagnose high-impact production failures across process, equipment, software, and operational causes, then change the standard so the failure stays fixed
Advise as a subject matter expert on tooling, machine selection, workholding, and process engineering across the factory, and contribute that domain knowledge to the software that automates CAM programming
Work with CAM, CNC Controls, Robotics, Software, Quality, and Operations to integrate manufacturing systems into production
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

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

Get to build alongside an incredible team of software engineers, mechanical engineers, operators, and the best machinists/CAM programmers in the world.
What We're Looking For
Have extensive experience shipping modern, data-centric applications (our data systems use Argo-Workflows, Dagster, Superset, Aurora, RDS, S3, and back-ends are Go and Python, with gRPC/Avro and Kafka as our messaging platform).
Experience building AI infrastructure in production: RAG pipelines, vector databases (such as Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, or equivalent), embedding systems, or semantic search.
Hands-on MLOps experience: owning the full lifecycle of ML models from training through deployment and monitoring (SageMaker, Ray, MLflow, or equivalent).
Have experience with IaC and GitOps tooling (We use Terraform extensively and have centralized on Kubernetes/Argo/Helm).
Extremely well versed with data querying techniques across NoSQL and SQL platforms.
Have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and/or equivalent experience.
Solid understanding in building data architecture and pipelines.
Are self-motivated and eager to get hands-on and tackle challenges independently while working collaboratively toward identified objectives.
Work with a platform mentality -- driven to find the right architecture and plan up front and solve problems with the long term in mind.
Take responsibility and ownership finding solutions no matter what.
Deploy your broad experience and big picture view to fix undreamed of problems with innovative solutions.
Feel passionate about making things move in the real world with software.
Are excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles.
Are a highly effective communicator when speaking or writing, especially when presenting technical information.

This role focuses on the environments where our people work every day, including offices, shared spaces, physical security, and non machine related workplace infrastructure at manufacturing sites.
We are hiring a Workplace Services Leader to establish and lead the workplace services function at Hadrian. This role is responsible for setting strategy, building and managing the team, and overseeing the programs and vendors that keep our workplaces running smoothly. While this role will roll up sleeves initially due to the size of the team and pace of growth, the primary expectation is to build the team quickly and transition execution to coordinators, specialists, and facilities staff as soon as possible.
This is a leadership role for someone who can operate at the systems level, move fast, and create structure while the company is scaling aggressively.
What You’ll Do
Establish the workplace services vision, strategy, and operating model across all locations.
Design and rapidly build the workplace services org, including office operations, facilities coordination, physical security, and site support roles.

Partner closely with IT, Security, and EHS on access requirements, incident response coordination, and site readiness.
Ensure physical security programs scale appropriately as new locations open and headcount grows.
Step in as needed to support execution while the team is being built, without becoming the long term executor.
Focus personal effort on unblocking progress, setting direction, and enabling others to execute effectively.
Transition hands on work to team members quickly as roles are hired and onboarded.
Own vendor strategy, selection, contracts, and performance management for workplace services and physical security.
Own the workplace services budget and forecasting as the company expands.
Balance speed, quality, and cost in a fast growing environment.
Partner closely with People Operations, IT, Finance, EHS, and other operational teams to ensure workplaces are aligned with company needs.
Collaborate with EHS on workspace design and site changes to ensure safety considerations are incorporated.
Ensure workplaces, access, and services are ready to support rapid onboarding and growth.
Partner with leadership on site strategy and future location planning.
Establish and maintain workplace and security policies, documentation, and operating standards.
Ensure high levels of reliability, cleanliness, accessibility, and security across all sites.

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

The Role:
As a 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.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $160,000 - $230,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

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

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world, and Workforce Development is the team responsible for ensuring our people can keep pace with it. At the center of that work is a system of documentation, skills tracking, and compliance content that the entire training program depends on. Without it, technicians cannot be trained, certified, or production-ready at the pace Hadrian requires.
Workforce Systems is the central function within Workforce Development responsible for unlocking new capabilities and enabling scale across Hadrian's factories. As the pace and complexity of that work grows, we are looking for a Workforce Systems 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.

The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world, and Workforce Development is the team responsible for ensuring our people can keep pace with it. As Hadrian scales, one of the most critical challenges we face is this: the knowledge that makes our manufacturing processes work lives inside a small group of subject matter experts. It is undocumented, informal, and at risk of being lost as the company grows.
The Workforce Knowledge Analyst exists to solve that problem. You will embed with SMEs across Hadrian's manufacturing operations, ask the right questions, and extract the process knowledge that would otherwise never be written down. Your output -- transcripts, video, written process notes -- becomes the foundation that Workforce Development builds training and certification programs from.
This is a role for someone who is naturally curious, earns trust quickly with technical experts, and gets genuine satisfaction from bringing clarity to complex, unfinished knowledge. You do not need to be a manufacturing expert. You need to be the kind of person who knows how to get inside what an expert knows and put it into a form that anyone can use.
What You'll Do
Knowledge Extraction: Embed with SMEs to observe, interview, and document how manufacturing processes actually work, surfacing the tribal knowledge that would otherwise remain undocumented.
Multi-format Documentation: Produce transcripts, video recordings, and written process notes that capture process knowledge comprehensively enough to serve as source material for Workforce Development and other teams.
SME Relationship Management: Build trusted working relationships with SMEs to maintain ongoing access to the knowledge needed to keep capability documentation current and accurate.
Process Observation: Spend time on the factory floor observing work in practice, identifying gaps between what is documented and how work actually happens.
Handoff to Workforce Systems: Package and hand off captured knowledge to Workforce Systems in a clear, organized format that can be structured into training content and certification frameworks.
Staying Current: Re-engage with SMEs when processes change, ensuring captured knowledge reflects the current state of each capability at all times.
What We're Looking For
Knowledge extraction: you know how to surface what people know but struggle to articulate. You ask questions that go beyond the obvious, follow threads, and document what you find without filtering it prematurely.
Active listening and observation: you pay close attention to both what people say and what they do. You catch the details and nuances that others miss, and you know that the most important information is often what no one thinks to mention.
Clear and thorough documentation: you produce written and recorded outputs that are accurate, comprehensive, and organized well enough for someone else to act on without needing to ask follow-up questions.
Credibility in technical environments: you earn trust with subject matter experts quickly. You ask intelligent questions, know when something important is being glossed over, and build the kind of relationships that give you ongoing access to knowledge.
Adaptability: you move between technical domains comfortably. You do not need to be a domain expert in every capability, but you pick up new processes and environments quickly and adjust your approach accordingly.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience conducting structured or semi-structured interviews with subject matter experts
Background in journalism, UX research, ethnographic research, technical writing, or documentary production
Familiarity with a manufacturing or industrial environment
Experience working in a regulated environment where documentation accuracy has real consequences
Background in a technical or engineering domain with a genuine interest in knowledge capture and documentation

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
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).

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Hadrian's API Platform is how the outside world connects to our manufacturing systems. Every partner integration, every internal service, and every factory floor system that touches that platform depends on one thing being right: identity. Who is allowed in, what they can do, and how credentials are managed across a complex, multi-cloud, physically distributed environment.
As Staff Software Engineer, Identity and Access Management, you will build the security foundation that the API Platform is built on. You will own authentication, authorization, and credential automation across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes workloads, and factory floor systems — and you will work in close partnership with the API Platform PM to ensure that IAM capabilities are surfaced as first-class developer experiences, not bolted-on compliance requirements.
This is not a supporting role. IAM is a product pillar here. You will own the technical layer end to end, set the direction for how it scales, and help define what secure-by-default looks like across everything Hadrian builds.
Design and implement scalable authentication and authorization systems covering both human operators and machine identities across cloud and factory floor environments — serving as the security foundation for the API Platform
Own Hadrian's authentication stack: SSO, MFA, OIDC/SAML integrations, and service-to-service auth across AWS, GCP, and future cloud environments
Build fine-grained access control systems (RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC) that scale across internal engineering teams, factory systems, and external API partners
Develop frameworks, APIs, and CLI tools that automate credential provisioning, rotation, and policy enforcement for both internal teams and external API consumers
Build identity and access models for machine-to-machine communication across factory floor systems, Kubernetes workloads, and cloud services
Partner with Security to ensure IAM systems meet compliance and audit requirements; troubleshoot complex identity and access issues across distributed systems
Work with the API Platform PM to define how IAM capabilities are surfaced as developer-friendly product experiences — for internal engineers and external partners alike
Build tooling, SDKs, and documentation that make it easy to integrate with IAM correctly and hard to do so incorrectly
Set IAM standards across the engineering org and act as the domain expert on access-sensitive architecture decisions
8–12+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years of focused experience in identity, authentication, or authorization systems at scale
Deep, hands-on expertise in modern auth protocols: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML, and SCIM
Strong understanding of access control models — RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC — and the ability to make sound architectural tradeoffs between them
Experience designing IAM systems across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)
Security-first mindset: you understand threat modeling, risk assessment, and least-privilege principles, and you embed security throughout the SDLC
Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar; track record of writing high-quality, maintainable code
Ability to set technical direction independently, write clear design docs, and drive alignment across teams
Comfort working alongside a PM counterpart — you can divide technical and product ownership clearly and collaborate effectively
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
Experience building IAM systems that serve external developer ecosystems — not just internal users
Experience building identity systems for non-human entities: service accounts, workload identity, machine certificates, Kubernetes service accounts
Familiarity with policy-as-code frameworks (OPA, Casbin, or similar)
Experience with zero-trust network architecture
Hands-on experience with secrets management platforms (Vault or equivalent) at scale
Prior experience in aerospace, defense, or manufacturing environments with ITAR or export control considerations
Experience working alongside a PM on a developer-facing platform product
This is a founding role with a clear path upward. As Hadrian's API Platform scales and the IAM function grows in complexity — more factory locations, more partners, more systems — so does the scope of this role. The natural trajectory leads toward technical lead or architect of a broader Security and Identity platform org, with the potential to grow a team around you.
For this role, the target salary range is $192,000-$273,500, plus offers equity.
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.

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).

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.

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.
Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.
Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.
For this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.

Manage assigned projects independently; defining scope, setting milestones, and delivering results with minimal oversight.
Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, engineering, quality, and operations to translate customer requirements into effective AM solutions.
Document processes, build records, lessons learned, and best practices to support continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
What We’re Looking For:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Aerospace, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience).
8+ years of experience in metal additive manufacturing applications engineering, process engineering, or manufacturing engineering, including experience in customer-facing technical roles.
2+ years of people leadership experience, including managing or leading technical teams.
Demonstrated hands-on experience with metal additive manufacturing processes (e.g., laser powder bed fusion), including parameter development, build planning, powder handling, post-processing integration, and production ramp.
Experience supporting parts and processes from prototype through qualification and full-rate production, including documentation, inspection strategy, process control, and readiness criteria.
What Will Set You Apart:
Master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline.
Experience working within aerospace, defense, or other regulated manufacturing environments with structured qualification and customer approval processes.

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

The Role
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 $120,000 - $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.

Serve as Hadrian's recognized authority on People compliance — providing expert guidance and operating as an internal consultant to People leadership, business leaders, Legal, and cross-functional partners across the organization.
Build and own Hadrian's People compliance program architecture: risk assessments, audit calendars, governance frameworks, and remediation roadmaps across federal contractor, ITAR/export control, and California employment law domains.
Own specialized regulatory compliance for People, including ITAR programs, California employment law, and Cal/OSHA manufacturing obligations — partnering with Legal, EHS, Infosec, and the business to keep all programs current and audit-ready.
Translate complex regulatory requirements into practical, scalable business solutions — building training programs, governance structures, and reporting mechanisms that create a culture of compliance accountability.
Provide executive-level reporting on compliance health, risk exposure, and program maturity; proactively monitor regulatory changes and update programs ahead of new requirements.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of HR compliance experience, with meaningful time inside a federal contractor or defense/aerospace environment.

Demonstrated ability to build compliance programs and governance structures from scratch.
Track record as a trusted advisor to business leaders — translating regulatory complexity into practical guidance.
Strong program management skills across cross-functional initiatives.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience preparing for or responding to a DCSA, OFCCP, or California DLSE audit.
Security clearance administration or FSO coordination experience.
Familiarity with CMMC workforce documentation requirements.
Experience in a manufacturing environment with Cal/OSHA obligations.
History of building compliance maturity models and executive reporting frameworks.
PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP/SCP, or equivalent compliance certification.

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

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.
Flow is an interconnected platform of services, applications, data pipelines, and operational workflows that must evolve quickly without sacrificing reliability.
This role leads engineering for one or more business domains: building a team that ships product, owns its systems in production, and works closely with stakeholders across the company.
Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift. The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories.
You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.
Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.
2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
Systems thinking: you understand how services, data flows, and team boundaries interact, and use that to prevent bottlenecks and scaling issues before they happen.
Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.
For this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world. 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.

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Hadrian 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.

The Role:
What You’ll Do
Focus on building scalable, automated solutions that ensure seamless deployments, security configurations, and efficient operational workflows for our end-users.
Own, administer, and optimize MDM platforms (Fleet DM, Intune, Workspace ONE) to enforce configuration and drive self-healing by writing OS-level scripts and lightweight tools that resolve recurring user-impacting issues (disk pressure, certificate expiry, drift, broken agents) at the source instead of via tickets.
Proactive Response. We want to gather telemetry data and analytics to develop an understanding of device lifecycles. We want to prevent end-user disruption by understanding when and how to act.
Partner with Security, IT, and Infrastructure to translate compliance requirements (CMMC) into enforceable, code-managed baselines.
Build dashboards and alerts that measure end-user experience as an SLO, not a helpdesk metric.
What We’re Looking For
Ownership. You treat the fleet as a product, take incidents personally, and close the loop with automation rather than a runbook. Strong scripting in Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
Scalability. Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management: Ansible and Terraform (or equivalents like Chef, Salt, Puppet, Pulumi).
Device Management. Working knowledge of at least one major MDM (Fleet DM, Intune, Jamf, Workspace ONE) and its API surface.
Security Remediation. Practical experience with patch management, vulnerability remediation, and endpoint hardening on both macOS and Windows.
What Will Set You Apart
Strong computer science fundamentals. You can reason about systems from the operating system up, demonstrating durable and sustainable solutions.
Experience building self-healing or auto-remediation platforms (remote actions, osquery + response, custom agents). Exposure to OT (Operational Technology) systems.
Comfort operating in an SRE culture: SLOs, error budgets, and blameless postmortems applied to the end-user experience.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $164,000 - $270,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.

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 - $250,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

","descriptionPlain":"HADRIAN - MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE\n\n\n\nHadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.\n\nWe’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.\n\nHadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.\n\n\n\nThe Role\n\nForward Deployed Engineers embed on enterprise customer programs and do whatever it takes to make them succeed.\n\nSometimes 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\n - 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.\n\n - 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.\n\n - 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.\n\n - 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.\n\n - Ship fast and iterate. Get something working into users' hands early rather than perfecting in isolation.\n\n - 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.\n\n\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\n\n - Strong builder with high ownership — comfortable going 0 to 1 and shipping in ambiguous environments where no one hands you the spec.\n\n - 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.

The Role
Hadrian’s Workforce Systems team sits within Workforce Development and owns the operating system that keeps our workforce capable as we scale. This small, focused team builds and maintains the training infrastructure—skills data, documentation standards, LMS content, and OJT programs—that every technician and operator at Hadrian depends on to do their job safely and effectively.
As Hadrian opens new factory locations and onboards new manufacturing capabilities, we need a Workforce Systems Engineer who can architect the Capability OS from the ground up, define what good looks like across documentation and capability coding, and own the structural integrity of our training systems as the company scales. This is a builder role: you will create systems that don’t yet exist, in an environment that moves fast, and your work will directly shape how hundreds of Hadrian employees develop and grow.
What You’ll Do
Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to the following:
Drive foundational design decisions for Hadrian's Capability OS, defining standards for training programs, controlled documentation, skills data, and LMS content as new capabilities come online.
Lead training program development using a systems engineering mindset — defining requirements, architecting content, and introducing it into production.
Own the full intake lifecycle for new capabilities, from early conversations with engineering and knowledge governance teams through to fully coded, cross-system deployment across skills matrix, LMS, OJT content, and evaluations.
Collaborate with operational teams to define role-specific competencies and translate them into structured, measurable training programs that build capability in a repeatable way.
Own one standard across all factory locations, ensuring documentation, skills data, and system configurations fit into a consistent global framework built to scale without structural rework.
Monitor the health of the Capability OS, flagging data inconsistencies, documentation gaps, and capacity constraints before they become blockers.
Partner with product managers as the primary ground-level voice, translating what's breaking or missing in the Capability OS into clear requirements for in-house workforce systems software.
Mentor the Workforce Systems Analyst in documentation standards, content quality, and systems discipline.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Industrial, Systems, Manufacturing, or Chemical preferred) or a related technical field; candidates with a degree in Technical Writing or a STEM-adjacent discipline and substantial hands-on manufacturing experience will be considered.
3+ years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, project management, or a technically grounded Learning & Development environment.
Demonstrated ownership of building systems—not just operating within them—including defining standards, leading program builds from scratch, and managing documentation in a regulated or quality-driven environment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to work effectively across engineering, operations, quality, and training teams.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience in highly regulated industrial environments such as aerospace, welding, NDT, or precision manufacturing.
Background with AS9100, ISO 9001, NAVSEA, or similar standards-driven documentation frameworks.
Hands-on experience with Confluence, skills matrices, an LMS platform, or Articulate Rise/SCORM-based e-learning development.
Track record of building complex, cross-functional programs from conception through launch—and the ability to articulate how you measured whether they worked.
Startup or high-growth environment experience; demonstrated comfort building in ambiguity at speed.
A demonstrable interest in the intersection of technical work and training.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role:
We are looking for a highly analytical and mission-driven People Data Analyst to join our People team. In this role, you’ll be the connective tissue between People Systems, Data Engineering, and People leadership, translating raw People and business data into the insights that shape how we hire, organize, and grow.
You’ll partner closely with our People Systems Engineer and Data Engineering team to help define the data model that underpins our People stack, and you’ll own turning that foundation into dashboards, reports, and analysis that recruiting, People leadership, and the broader business leadership team rely on to make decisions.
This is a build-from-the-ground-up opportunity: you won’t inherit a mature analytics function with years of dashboards and definitions already in place. You’ll help define what “good” looks like, the metrics that matter, the data model that supports them, and the reporting infrastructure that scales with a hypergrowth company. You’ll also help define how AI augments this work, from automating recurring reporting to building natural-language interfaces over People data in partnership with People Systems.
What You’ll Do
Design and build dashboards and self-serve reporting (e.g. in Tableau, Superset) once the underlying data infrastructure is in place, and own their accuracy and adoption going forward
• Define and standardize core People metrics time-to-fill, attrition, span of control, headcount vs. plan, and similar in partnership with People leadership
• Translate business questions from People and Recruiting leadership, and executive stakeholders into clear analytical approaches, and deliver insights that directly inform decisions
• Partner with the People Systems Engineer and Data Engineering team to define and evolve the People data model
• Connect People data to broader business metrics (e.g. headcount vs. revenue or production output, productivity, cost per hire relative to business growth) to give business leadership a complete picture of how people investment tracks with company performance• Partner with People Systems to identify and prioritize opportunities to use AI and natural language interfaces to make People data more accessible; helping non-technical stakeholders query and explore data without needing to build a new report each time
• Own data quality and governance for People analytics; establishing definitions, validating accuracy, and ensuring leadership can trust the numbers without having to double-check them
• Conduct ad hoc and deep-dive analyses (e.g. attrition drivers, hiring funnel efficiency, organizational design) that go beyond standard reporting to answer emerging business questions
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or people analytics, with a track record of delivering insights that influenced real business or People decisions
• Strong SQL skills and comfort working directly in a modern data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) to build and maintain your own queries and data models, rather than relying solely on pre-built tables
• Hands-on experience building dashboards and reports in a BI tool such as Looker, Tableau, Superset including the underlying data modeling, not just the visualization layer
• Experience partnering with engineering or data engineering teams to define data models and requirements - you can speak both “business question” and “data model” fluently
• Demonstrated experience with core People/HR metrics and the employee lifecycle including recruiting funnel, headcount planning, attrition, compensation, performance and how they’re typically modeled
• Comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment — you can define your own roadmap in partnership with stakeholders rather than waiting for fully-scoped requirements
What Will Set You Apart
Direct experience partnering with a People Systems or engineering function to define a Peopledata model from the ground up
• Experience with Rippling or similar HRIS platforms, and familiarity with how ATS, finance, and workforce data typically integrate with HR systems
• Experience using AI tools (e.g. LLM-powered analysis, natural language querying over structured data, AI-assisted reporting) to scale analytics work and reduce manual reporting burden
• Experience supporting People analytics in manufacturing, defense, or other complex multi- population environments (e.g. exempt and non-exempt populations across multiple sites)
• Prior experience as the first or founding People analytics hire at a high-growth company, building reporting infrastructure rather than maintaining an existing one
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is 150,000 - 170,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Role Summary
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

We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role:
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.

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role:
Build and own enterprise applications and internal tools that power Hadrian's operational workflows end-to-end. Initial focus areas include legal technology (AI-powered contract tools, CLM infrastructure, compliance tracking) and cross-functional integrations connecting Legal, Sales, Finance, and Procurement with Salesforce, NetSuite, DocuSign, Microsoft 365 GCC, and other enterprise systems. This is a 0–1 build role.
What You’ll Do
Enterprise Application Strategy and Roadmap – Identify and prioritize high-leverage workflow bottlenecks; build tooling with measurable impact on contract cycle times, legal team throughput, and cross-functional decision speed. Own legal technology as a core platform service — evaluate and recommend vendors, manage integration architecture, and translate operational pain points into technical requirements and system designs.
AI-Powered Contract Intelligence – Build AI-assisted contract review and analysis tools that surface key risk provisions, flag deviations from Hadrian’s standard positions, and generate structured change logs with prioritized issues and recommended responses. Build AI-assisted drafting workflows for first-pass language, redline responses, and negotiation positions based on Hadrian’s playbooks and prior deal history.
Contract Obligation Tracking – Develop obligation extraction and tracking systems that translate executed agreements into actionable compliance tasks for program, finance, and operations teams. Design and implement RAG systems and LLM-powered tooling against Hadrian’s contract corpus and legal knowledge base.
CLM Platform Ownership – Design, build, and own the logic and systems layer of Hadrian’s CLM platform — system configuration, intake and routing logic, approval workflows, and AI-driven automation from intake through close-out. Build and maintain contract execution workflows in DocuSign, Microsoft 365 GCC (SharePoint, Power Automate, Teams), and the CLM platform.
Procurement and Commercial Systems Integration – Build and maintain contract data structures and workflows in Salesforce (GovCloud Plus) and NetSuite, enabling seamless handoffs between Legal, Sales, and Finance. Design intake and routing logic connecting Salesforce opportunity data to legal contract workflows, and integrate purchase order and procurement workflows with the buy-side contract stack.
Portfolio Reporting and Analytics – Build dashboards giving Legal, Finance, and executive stakeholders real-time visibility into contract status, risk exposure, and milestone compliance. Coordinate with Finance on contract-related ERP entries and ensure downstream financial milestones, delivery schedules, and payment terms are accurately tracked.
Legal Operations Across the Enterprise – Build automated workflows supporting Hadrian’s full legal function — including ITAR/CUI compliance tracking, government contract flowdown monitoring, M&A and financing transaction support, and cross-functional legal interfaces with Sales, Finance, and Program Management. Design compliance attestation pipelines and regulatory tracking tools that surface FAR/DFARS obligations, OTA milestone requirements, and clause-level gaps before they become problems.
What Will Set You Apart
Prior experience building legal technology, CLM systems, or contract management tools. Experience with AI/LLM-powered applications in production (RAG, document processing, agentic workflows). Proficiency with Salesforce as a CRM and at least one major ERP (NetSuite or Oracle preferred). Experience building in GCC environments with ITAR, CUI, or CMMC compliance requirements. Experience at a defense-tech, aerospace, or advanced manufacturing company. Familiarity with vector databases, embedding pipelines, and document retrieval systems.
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.

We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is looking to expand our battery pack assembly team, specifically a Battery Pack Engineering Lead. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You'll take the line from a concept to a working, repeatable, and safe production line, leading things such as pack and module architecture, the assembly process, cell joining, thermal management, test, and safety. This role will anchor a small team of specialists and engineers, as well as interfacing cross-functionally with the rest of the company. You'll set technical direction, make the hard calls, and lead a few engineers alongside you.
What You'll Do
Own the pilot battery pack assembly line end-to-end, from pack and module architecture through assembly process design, build, test, and production readiness
Define the assembly process: cell intake and sorting/matching, module and pack build sequence, cell joining (laser / ultrasonic / resistance welding), busbar and interconnect assembly, thermal management, enclosure, and potting/sealing
Develop the fixturing, stations, tooling, and work instructions for the pilot line, designed for eventual automation and rate production on Hadrian's robotics and software platform.
Own battery safety including thermal runaway mitigation, abuse tolerance, and compliance with applicable standards and testing (e.g., UN 38.3 transport)
Establish electrical test, formation, and characterization processes; define pack-level acceptance criteria and validation
Build cell-level traceability and lot control, partnering with Quality and Qualification on inspection plans and qualification of the packs
Lead and grow a small, deep-expertise team, setting technical direction and owning final calls
Partner across design (mechanical/electrical/thermal), manufacturing engineering, automation/controls, supply chain (cell sourcing), quality/qualification, and program teams
Drive the line from concept to production readiness against yield, throughput, cost, and rate targets
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, or Materials Engineering, or a related technical field
7+ years in battery pack / energy-storage engineering, including hands-on pack or module assembly and manufacturing
Deep knowledge of cell-to-pack / cell-to-module design and assembly, cell joining (welding) processes, and thermal management
Experience standing up or significantly improving a battery assembly line or pilot line
Strong grasp of battery safety and applicable standards/testing (UN 38.3, UL/IEC, abuse testing)
Demonstrated technical leadership, able to lead a small team and operate autonomously in an ambiguous, build-it-now environment
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) per ITAR; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
What Will Set You Apart
Battery pack experience in aerospace, defense, UAS, eVTOL, EV, or other demanding/safety-critical applications
Experience automating battery assembly or designing battery lines for high-rate production
Hands-on cell-joining process development (laser / ultrasonic / resistance welding) for tabs and busbars
Electronics and test-and-validation depth
Familiarity with defense qualification or airworthiness requirements for energy storage
Experience in high-growth or startup manufacturing environments
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

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.

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 - $250,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Hadrian 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

","descriptionPlain":"HADRIAN - MANUFACTURING THE FUTURE\n\n\n\nHadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.\n\nWe’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.\n\nHadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.\n\n\n\n\nTHE ROLE:\n\nHadrian 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.\n\nQualification 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n - 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\n\n - Define and maintain qualification scope, and own the qualification pipeline and its workflow automation\n\n - 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\n\n - 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\n\n - 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\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\n\n - 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\n\n - Detailed knowledge of part/product qualification, first article verification, technical data packages (TDPs), and source approval; aviation component qualification is a plus\n\n - Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply complex regulatory and customer requirements based on intent and risk, and to translate them into clear, practical workflows\n\n - Demonstrated ability to build, scale, or significantly improve systems, processes, or organizations in complex, ambiguous environments, including leading and developing high-performing teams\n\n - Strong decision-making in ambiguous, high-risk, customer-facing situations, with excellent communication and cross-functional leadership across engineering, operations, and government customers\n\n\n\n\nWHAT WILL SET YOU APART\n\n - Direct experience with DoW qualification, airworthiness, or source approval processes\n\n - Hands-on experience with technical data package development, reverse engineering, and proprietary data/data rights issues\n\n - Experience standing up qualification pipelines, workflow automation, or supporting tools\n\n - Strong track record of balancing compliance requirements with practical, scalable implementation\n\n - Experience in high-growth or startup manufacturing environments\n\n\n\n\nCOMPENSATION\n\nFor this role, the target salary range is $150,000-220,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).\n\nThis is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.
