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.
Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future
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 recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!
The Role
We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to lead the development of highly automated work cells in support of new manufacturing capabilities and production facilities.

• Proven ability to collaborate with design engineers on early-stage product development, including translating design intent into robust manufacturing solutions.

• Strong DFM expertise with a track record of influencing design decisions to enhance manufacturability, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market.

• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects and drive cross-functional alignment in fast-paced, iterative settings.

• Strong quantitative and analytical skills for data-driven problem solving and process improvement.

• Excellent communication, documentation, and team-building skills, with a hands-on, solution-oriented mindset.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience transitioning products from prototype to scalable volume manufacturing.

• Background in implementing automation and test systems into production workflows.

• Proficiency in data tools such as Excel and SQL for manufacturing analytics and process control.

• Experience managing or mentoring high-performing engineering teams with diverse technical backgrounds.
