• 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’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:

CAM Execution is a hybrid Process Engineering role operating at the intersection of CAM programming and manufacturing execution. The team is responsible for diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving failures across the full manufacturing process, ensuring that programmed intent translates into reliable, repeatable production outcomes.

This role works across CNC programs, machine setups, fixturing, CMM inspection, GD&T interpretation, and operator workflows to identify where breakdowns occur and implement robust, production-grade fixes. It is a process ownership role focused on end-to-end manufacturing stability.

What You’ll Do:

• Root Cause Processes

• Diagnose and correct failures across CNC programs, machine setups, inspection workflows, and operator execution. Analyze CMM data, validate against customer specifications and GD&T requirements, inspect fixtures, and verify machine processes. Implement solutions that are repeatable, simple, and production-stable.

• CAM ↔ Manufacturing Interface

• Bridge the gap between CAM programming and shop-floor execution. Refine toolpaths, setups, and machining strategies based on real-world machine behavior, material response, and inspection feedback.

• Team Collaboration

• Work cross-functionally with CAM Programming, Quality, CMM Programming, Applications, Automation, and Go-To-Market teams to develop informed and aligned process solutions.

• System Improvement

• Identify systemic weaknesses in the manufacturing process and drive improvements across the factory. Standardize solutions, eliminate recurring issues, and increase overall process robustness.

What We’re Looking For:

• High-Level Problem Solving

• Ability to decompose complex, multi-variable manufacturing issues and converge on root cause quickly. Capable of implementing effective solutions in high-complexity environments.

• Part Process Knowledge

• Strong background in developing, programming, setting up, and troubleshooting part manufacturing processes.

• Software

• Experience with CNC programming software, CAD modeling tools, and general computing environments.

• Communication

• Clear and effective written and verbal communication. Ability to collaborate across teams and convey technical information accurately.

• Machining Knowledge

• Deep understanding of machining and/or inspection processes. Ability to teach, guide, and share knowledge with others in a production environment.

Compensation:

For this role, the target salary range is $110,000 - $165,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

What Will Set You Apart:

• Experience with 5-axis milling machines

• Experience with hyperMILL, NX, Heidenhain, Fanuc

• Strong GD&T and print reading capability

• CMM programming and inspection experience

• Hands-on machine setup and operation

• Systems engineering or process standardization experience

BENEFITS:

• 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
