Junior Machine Learning Compiler Engineer Jobs in Carson, CA

Hadrian 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.

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 building advanced software systems to automate Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis and accelerate precision manufacturing. Our homebuilt DFM platform analyzes design prints and CAD models to make logical, data-driven determinations about whether and how Hadrian can manufacture a part.

We work closely with some of the best operators in the world to identify high-impact opportunities where software, computer vision, and machine learning can meaningfully augment or automate complex engineering judgment. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, and scaling these systems end to end.
