Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.

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.

The Role

• Build accurate CAD models from naval prints, aerospace drawings, legacy prints, and other customer technical data.

• Create internal CAD models and drawings for each manufacturing state (M-state) of a part.

• Own PLM data structure and move parts through the release workflow.

• Execute customer and internal changes across part families, including the customer geometry and all related M-states.

• Partner with manufacturing, tooling, programming, and inspection teams, delivering clean, parametric models they can build on and fast design changes when production needs them.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.

• 3+ years of professional mechanical design experience, including production CAD models and drawings for manufactured hardware.

• Proficiency in at least one parametric 3D CAD platform (NX, CATIA, Creo, or SolidWorks), including building models from complex 2D drawings and from incomplete or missing drawings.

• Working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5), engineering drawing standards, and PLM-based release and change control.

• Experience working directly with manufacturing teams and managing your own release schedule and priorities across multiple products.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience using Siemens NX on production parts.

• Experience with naval or shipyard drawings, customer technical data packages, and legacy prints.

• Experience with both naval and aerospace hardware.

• Experience creating in-process (M-state) models and drawings, and running customer and internal change processes in parallel.

• Experience with machining, welded assemblies, tooling design, and CMM or scan-based inspection.
