• 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.

Valued at $1.6B, 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 factories-as-a-service team analyzes our current customers' production and supply chain challenges, builds data-driven presentations, designs and scopes factories of the future, and assists the Federal and Strategic sales team in forming long-term partnerships with the DOD, Primes, and other manufacturers.

This specific team is responsible for scoping, design, cost, schedule, and technology analysis, as well as proposals for major programs and manufacturing transformations across all manufacturing methods and domains.

With several major programs in flight, we are hiring rapidly for this team that will effectively analyze, design, scope, plan, and handover (or join) execution of large-scale manufacturing efforts.

The Role:

• This is the team that will restore forging to a core American industry

• This role will oversee drawing reviews, Cap Ex planning, and automation feedback for Forging as part of the Factories as a Service team.

• You’ll be able to review drawings for manufacturability rapidly, select the right Cap Ex for part numbers and assemblies, advise our automation team on forging best practices, and have a deep working knowledge of production and inspection methods for Forging.

• This role will both assist in building new factories for existing production scope, as well as contribute to the manufacturing processes of new products where Forging is a designed-in function.

• We are seeking individuals who can analyze drawings at a technical level, as well as plan for forging lines or factories from scratch. We are conducting interviews at all levels.

What You’ll Do:

• Analyze customer drawings and current state of production to design, build, and guide automation of Forging DFM, Production, and Inspection Lines

• Contribute as a key player in factories as a service efforts

• Deliver cost/schedule/solutions in partnership with our customers and the Federal team

• Own Cap Ex planning, vendor selection, and costing

What We’re Looking For:

• SME with deep expertise in forging production and inspection

• Able to travel ~25% to DOD and prime facilities

• Able to analyse DFM, and design/plan production and inspection lines for Forging

• Prior experience standing up new Forging lines in Aerospace, Automotive or other domains

• Ability to move quickly and make risk-adjusted decisions

What Will Set You Apart:

• Software or automation experience is not required, but helpful

• Working knowledge of forging technology and Cap Ex

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
