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 Hadrian's Applications Engineering team develops 0-1 machining solutions to supercharge the throughput and capabilities of our Factory. The team focuses on developing novel solutions for CNC programming, workholding, fixturing, tooling, process control, new materials, and machining capabilities. We are looking for an Applications Engineer to execute our Machining roadmap to scale Hadrian to be multi-factory across the US. You will work closely with Applications Engineering, CAM Operations, Software Engineering, and Robotics to push the boundaries of machining at scale and are looking to add a curious and self-motivated expert to join our already world class team. CURRENT TECHNICAL CHALLENGES - Autonomous manufacturing workflows that run parts with minimal operator intervention - Automated metrology, in-process inspection, and closed-loop process control - Process standards that run across different machine platforms and controllers - Manufacturing observability and diagnostics: detecting tool wear, process drift, and failures early enough to recover automatically - Lights-out production of complex aerospace components - First-part introduction of high-risk, high-complexity components, new part families, and new materials, including high-temp aerospace alloys - Reducing the engineering effort required to launch a new part, and converting successful one-off processes into reusable production standards - Deploying proven capabilities from our Los Angeles factory to Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona WHAT YOU'LL DO - Develop manufacturing processes for complex aerospace and defense components, including machining strategy, tooling, workholding, probing, and inspection - Take 0-1 New Product Introduction parts from print to production for new customers, new materials, and new part families - Build the automation, process control, and software workflows that let production run without constant engineering attention - Set machine, tooling, and process standards adopted across Hadrian factories - Diagnose high-impact production failures across process, equipment, software, and operational causes, then change the standard so the failure stays fixed - Advise as a subject matter expert on tooling, machine selection, workholding, and process engineering across the factory, and contribute that domain knowledge to the software that automates CAM programming - Work with CAM, CNC Controls, Robotics, Software, Quality, and Operations to integrate manufacturing systems into production - Support factory launches, machine bring-up, and production stabilization YOUR FIRST 12 MONTHS Focus areas differ across the team. After a year, engineers in this role can typically point to results like: - New manufacturing capabilities shipped into production - A standard adopted across multiple machines, cells, or factories - A previously manual engineering or production workflow that now runs automated - Measurable reductions in the engineering time required to launch ne
