Hadrian - Shaping the Future of Manufacturing
At Hadrian, we are revolutionizing the manufacturing landscape by developing autonomous factories that empower aerospace and defense companies to produce rockets, satellites, jets, and ships with remarkable efficiency—up to 10 times faster and at half the cost. Our innovative approach integrates advanced software, robotics, and comprehensive manufacturing systems, redefining how critical components are produced in America.
With a valuation of $1.6 billion, we are excited to announce the opening of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a state-of-the-art 290,000-square-foot facility that will create 350 new jobs. Our rapid expansion aims to support thousands of future hires, as we launch Hadrian Maritime to extend our capabilities into naval production and introduce a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of just individual components.
Supported by top investors such as T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our dynamic team is dedicated to reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
Your Role:
We are seeking a proactive leader in systems engineering with expertise in metal additive manufacturing. You will transform standalone metal AM equipment into fully integrated, automated production systems. Leading a team of machine specialists, you will oversee the technical integration of metal AM machines into our OPUS platform, focusing on machine connectivity, control interfaces, telemetry, and production readiness. Your role will drive automation within the AM cell, including material handling, build changeover, downstream workflows, and safety interlocks, while collaborating closely with machine OEMs and automation vendors to enhance capabilities, serviceability, and reliability. The ideal candidate will possess extensive experience in metal AM applications, a strong foundation in systems integration and automation, and a proven history of industrializing complex equipment for scalable production.
Key Responsibilities:
Spearhead the comprehensive integration of metal additive manufacturing (AM) equipment and related infrastructure into our internal production systems, ensuring connectivity, control interfaces, telemetry, traceability, and enforceable safety interlocks.
Establish system architecture, technical specifications, interface control documents (ICDs), integration standards, and scalable machine acceptance criteria across various OEM platforms and locations.
Advance automation and industrialization of AM production cells to enhance material handling, build changeover, downstream workflows, and operator safety, ultimately boosting throughput and efficiency.
