Robotics Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

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.

The Role

Hadrian’s Robotics team builds hardware and software that powers next-generation manufacturing. We are looking for a Robotics Software Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of intelligent automation systems for manufacturing environments.

Our mission is to scale Hadrian’s core machining business across multiple factories in the U.S. by building robotic systems that operators, technicians, and systems depend on every day. We move quickly, ship continuously, and turn real factory needs into production-ready products.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, electrical, and mechanical) to ensure tight integration between software and physical components.

• Integrate software with hardware systems, including PLCs, sensors, actuators, and industrial robots.

• Develop and deploy algorithms for calibration, path optimization, object detection, and collision avoidance.

• Interface with manufacturing operations to test, validate, and continuously improve deployed robotic systems.

• Participate in reviews and help shape engineering quality and best practices.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with at least 5 years of developing software for industrial or manufacturing robotics systems.

• Strong proficiency in C++ or Python.

• Experience with motion control, trajectory generation, and robot kinematics/dynamics.

• Experience leading cross-disciplinary teams and full product lifecycle ownership.

• Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

• Passionate about advancing manufacturing automation through robotics innovation.
