Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.

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

The Role

Candidates for this role could end up working with a number of our internal products and teams:

Flow is Hadrian’s FactoryOS, our core platform comprised of a variety of applications that model, manage, and automate an extremely complex network of factories.

Copilot is our suite of manufacturing automation products which automates or accelerates key processes within the factory including quoting, CAM programming, and CMM programming.

Factory Automation develops robotic cells for use in our factories and the software that controls them.

We have a broad set of applications internally. Candidates interested in redefining manufacturing software will have ample opportunity to do so.

Note: You do not need to have aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role

What You'll Do

• Own a product vertical with the opportunity to build a team around yourself over time (if interested)

• Work directly with our internal and external customers to drive our roadmap

• Get to build alongside an incredible team of engineers, operators, and the best machinists/CAM programmers in the world

• Be given autonomy and virtually unlimited room to grow

What We’re Looking For

• Bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right

• Have tech-lead critical projects or initiatives

• Are product-minded and user-driven
