Hadrian – Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies make rockets, jets, and satellites 10x faster and 2x cheaper. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in this video.

We are a lean but mighty team (and growing!) of people who are passionate about building critical infrastructure to support the nation and the advancement of humanity.

We've raised >$200m to achieve this vision, with multiple rounds from Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, Construct Capital, Caffeinated Capital and more.

We use AI and Robotics to automate and scale factories that are globally cost-competitive and future-proof from the dramatic skilled labor shortage that is facing the Advanced Industrial Base.

Hadrian works with startups, Primes, and Tier 1/2s in all markets to cost-down, scale, or otherwise enable them to hit production rates on critical programs in Rocketry, Satellites, Shipbuilding, Commercial, and Military aircraft and other core, mission-critical industries.

The Role

In this role you’ll be a founding member of Hadrian’s new Special Projects division, working directly with the CEO and engineering leadership. The responsibility of this division is to target moonshot R&D projects and provide engineering expertise on new business opportunities with customers.

We are seeking an expert welding technician to join our team as a foundational member of our fabrication and automation operations. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a technical leader who thrives at the intersection of craftsmanship, process development, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll be responsible for establishing and evolving both manual and robotic welding capabilities and help build a world-class fabrication shop from the ground up that will support products for aerospace, automotive, maritime, and defense applications. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical welding expertise, especially in aluminum, with the ability to think systematically about manufacturability, automation and team growth.

You will be pioneering and reshaping advanced manufacturing across Aerospace & Defense in the US and will be the ripple for so much more.

What will set you apart:

Benefits:

• 100% coverage of platinum medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
