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
Candidates for this role could end up working with a number of our internal products and teams:
Flow is Hadrian’s FactoryOS, our core platform comprised of a variety of applications that model, manage, and automate an extremely complex network of factories.
Copilot is our suite of manufacturing automation products which automates or accelerates key processes within the factory including quoting, CAM programming, and CMM programming.
Factory Automation develops robotic cells for use in our factories and the software that controls them.
We have a broad set of applications internally. Candidates interested in redefining manufacturing software will have ample opportunity to do so.
What You’ll Do
Scope, architect, implement, and deploy critical applications across multiple product verticals.
Engage in product discovery alongside experts in manufacturing and software- help define what needs to exist and what needs to be better.
Build alongside an incredible team of engineers and operators.
What We’re Looking For
Expert in TypeScript and frontend web development, ideally using React and related state management solutions. Deep understanding of the frontend ecosystem.
Strong ability and desire to write high quality code and maintain a high quality codebase.
API design experience (REST & gRPC).
Know how to develop, deploy, and maintain fullstack applications using a modern web stack.
Bias towards action and take pride in your work.
Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with high-stakes and quick iteration cycles.
What Will Set You Apart
Have great product intuition and user empathy. You enjoy talking to users.
Have a strong sense of design and execute at a high level with or without design support.
Comfortable jumping into different areas of our stack as needed: Go, Python, C#, C++, etc.
Have experience with data visualization, video games, CAD/CAM software, or 3D environments.
Have demonstrated success with developing and deploying high performance web applications.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $120,000 - $250,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
