Job description

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.

Job responsibilities

  • Define equipment and area design requirements, working through both the knowns and the unknowns present at conception.
  • Lead a cross-functional team (mechanical, controls, software, build) through the full design process — owning requirements, chairing design reviews, and driving phase gates from concept to production acceptance.
  • Help build the framework for how Hadrian defines, designs, builds, and deploys internally developed equipment.
  • Partner closely with the Factory Development and Production teams to ensure that equipment can be deployed and operated as turn key systems.
  • Own the outcome. This role is accountable not just for identifying problems, but for working across teams to solve them.

Job requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (electro-mechanical preferred) or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years designing and deploying automated industrial equipment.
  • Proficiency designing mechanical systems in CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or a comparable environment).
  • Experience working within an equipment development lifecycle or similar design lifecycle.
  • A track record spanning risk assessments, specification creation, design reviews, and build cycles.
  • Strong collaboration skills, with a history of working effectively across mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineers as well as build technicians.
