Cnc Controls Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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
Hadrian's Controls Engineering team develops 0-1 automation solutions to supercharge the efficiency and capabilities of our CNC machines. The team focuses on developing novel solutions for automated probing validation, machine calibration, in-process control, tool laser measurement, breakage detection, tool life, offsets, and origins.
We are looking for a Controls 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 we are looking to add a curious and self-motivated expert to join our already world class team.
What You'll Do

• Universal Controller Interface - Develop a universal controller interface for CNC machines to streamline operations and ensure interoperability across diverse machining platforms.
• Inspection and Process Control - Utilize spindle probing to revolutionize inspection and process control, enhancing precision and efficiency.
• Integrated Feedback Loop - Innovate an integrated CMM<>CNC feedback loop, bridging the gap between measurement and control in machining processes.
• Operator Enablement - Develop systems that empower operators in advanced machine control, minimizing human and lowering the barrier to entry for CNC manufacturing
• Process Development - Support cross-functional teams by engineering processes that expand and enhance on-machine capabilities.

What We're Looking For

• Macro Programming - Experience writing macros for in either Fanuc, Siemens, or Heidenhain
• CNC Machine Operation - Ability to run and operate CNC machines including part setup, tool loading, tool offsets, spindle probing
• Software - Experience coding with an understanding of software principles, including Python, data structures, version control (e.g. GitHub), and testing.
• Communication - Excellent communication skills both written and verbal.
• Machining Knowledge - Has applicable experience with a variety of machine types (mills, lathes), materials (alum, stainless, hard metals), tooling application, workholding, and fixture design.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience with PLC programing, software engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or robotics
• Experience with hyperMILL, Heidenhain, Fanuc, NX, machining Inconel or Titanium, macro programming
• Strongly admired skills - System design, mechanical design, operational experience, and the ability to bridge hardware and software disciplines.
