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
As a CAM Programmer, you will have direct responsibility for producing CAM packages and CNC Programs for highly complex, close-tolerance components. You will play a critical role within the company, sitting at the intersection of manufacturing and software R&D. This role is instrumental in developing and testing the technologies that will move the manufacturing industry forward and truly shape the future of manufacturing.
Responsibilities include generating precise CNC programs that align with our programming standards, directly contributing to the success of your teammates within CAM Operations by producing highly reliable, well-executed CAM files and efficient programs at a rapid pace.
The ideal candidate will possess an analytical mindset, viewing challenges as opportunities for improvement and innovation. They will systematically address and solve these challenges while contributing to Hadrian's knowledge base, covering tooling, application processes, workholding design, and manufacturing methodologies. Additionally, they should enrich our culture through proactive communication, teamwork, and carry themselves with the utmost integrity.
What You'll Do
CAM Program and Component Process Deployment:

• Generate CAM files with detailed manufacturing intent, strictly adhering to Hadrian's design principles

• Craft clear, comprehensive work instruction documents suitable for all skill levels, specifically designed to empower individuals with minimal experience in machine tool setups to achieve success.

Internal Product Development:

• Be flexible working with ever-changing technology

• Improve internal automation software by providing feedback, identifying application process gaps, trends, and problems.

• Report factory bugs and general workflow issues as you encounter them, placing the utmost importance on promptly communicating issues or challenges that arise daily. No matter how small they are perceived to be.

CAM Process Optimization through Internal Feedback Integration:

• Actively seek out and incorporate feedback from team members and technical staff to boost productivity and refine machining programs and overall CAM process procedures.

• Create repeatable output across the production of hundreds of units, utilizing partner teams' feedback in the pursuit of continuous improvement opportunities.

• Rigorously identify gaps and communicate these findings to CAM Process Designers for integration or revision

Fixture Design and CAD Modeling:

• Design and model 3D fixtures conforming to Hadrian's fixture design standards with the Siemens NX CAD platform. Embrace advanced fixture design processes (e.g., 3-2-1 locating, Poka-Yoke error-proofing, equation-driven design) for creating efficient and robust fixtures.

• Adhere to industry-standard CAD design-tree practices and follow internally developed workflows

Software Proficiency:

• Operate efficiently within the hyperMILL and NX environments, utilizing best practices while fully leveraging Hadrian's automation suite for effective design and program creation.

• Maximize the use of Hadrian's Co-Pilot CAM integration throughout the CAM Programming process, fully leveraging it on a daily basis.

• Effectively utilize a variety of communication tools such as email, messaging applications, Microsoft Office suite, etc.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in programming 3 and/or 5-axis CNC machine tools within a production environment of high-tolerance precision components.
• Prior involvement in the aerospace sector or similar industries with stringent requirements.

• Knowledge of safety procedures, quality standards, and tool selection is essential.

• Average understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerances (GD&T).

• Capability to interpret data (such as CMM reports), identify trends, or tools needed to gather understanding of dimensional instability, and apply insights to enhance the manufacturing process.

• Demonstrated ability and willingness to try new things, adopt new approaches to the industry, and have the vision and discipline necessary to push through development scenarios within an operational setting.

• Demonstrated commitment to integrity while facing difficult production challenges and debugging issues. Valuing action and team-centric solutions over anything else.

What Will Set You Apart

• Advanced Materials: Steels, Stainless, Titanium, Inconel

• 5-Axis Proficiency and Mill-turn experience is a plus

• Proficiency in integrating probing routines within CNC programming

• Skills in manufacturing data analysis and software aiding this analysis are used to identify patterns, trends, and inefficiencies in the manufacturing process.

• Being a forever student of the trade. Maintaining awareness and understanding of current trends, technologies, and foundational practices such as Industry 4.0, IoT, Artificial Intelligence applications within manufacturing, and lean principles. Adaptability to evolving technologies and processes is fundamental to Hadrian's mission.

Benefits for Full-time Employees

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
• Flexible vacation policy
• Equity
