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 recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!
The Role
As a foundational member of our software engineering team, you'll work closely with our product, operations, data, and robotics teams to make
Flow, our FactoryOS, the factory platform of the future.
Flow is composed of a variety of internal and external critical business applications. Internally, we build software that informs, augments, and replaces work that needs to be done in the factory — for example, taking a customer request for parts, analyzing the complexity and cost, load balancing the work based on factory capacity, and returning a dynamic price quote and delivery estimate. Externally, our software helps our customers interface with Hadrian and manage their supply chain in real time.
Note: You do not need to have aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role
What You'll Do
- Scope, architect, implement, and deploy critical applications that will drive revenue and make a positive impact in the world
- Own a product vertical with the opportunity to build a team around yourself over time (if interested)
- Work directly with our internal and external customers to drive our roadmap
- Get to build alongside an incredible team of engineers, operators, and the best machinists/CAM programmers in the world
- Be given autonomy and virtually unlimited room to grow
What We’re Looking For
- Bias to action, take pride in your work, and care more about getting to the right solution than being right
- Have tech-lead critical projects or initiatives
- Have worked on large, complex codebases
- Have extensive experience shipping modern, full-stack applications (our front-ends are React/Next/Typescript and back-ends are Go and Python)
- Are product-minded and user-driven
- Are excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles
- Are a previous or future founder — if you leave Hadrian to start a company we'll do everything to support you, including investing in you and introducing you to Hadrian's investors
- Can work from our Los Angeles Factory (Torrance)
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $120,000 - $250,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
