Build the future of flight-grade manufacturing
At Hadrian, we’re reindustrializing America by fusing AI, robotics, and modern software with fullstack manufacturing. Our autonomous factories help aerospace and defense customers produce missioncritical systemsrockets, satellites, aircraft, shipsat an orderofmagnitude speedup and lower cost.
We’re in scale mode following a $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, adding capabilities from welding and casting to electronics and additive, and expanding our FactoryasaService platform. Investors include JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley.
Your mission
Own the digital thread from CAD to chip. As a CAD/CAM Process Developer, you will craft reliable CAM packages and CNC code for intricate, tighttolerance components, then prove them out with the teams who run our lines. You’ll also help design the software and methods that raise the bar for how precision parts are made.
Key outcomes
- Productiongrade programs: Deliver highquality toolpaths that align to Hadrian programming standards and execute consistently at speed.
- Accessible execution: Write clear, thorough setup and work instructions so even minimally experienced operators can succeed.
- Closedloop improvement: Seek, synthesize, and apply feedback from machinists and technical staff to boost productivity and standardize outcomes across hundreds of units.
- Fixture excellence: Design 3D fixtures in Siemens NX using 321 locating, PokaYoke, and equationdriven strategies; maintain clean, auditable design trees and follow internal workflows.
- Software partnership: Trial new tech, identify gaps, report bugs immediately, and collaborate with engineering to advance our internal automation suite and CoPilot CAM usage.
- Knowledge building: Document best practices in tooling, application processes, workholding design, and manufacturing methodologies; model proactive communication and integrity.
What you’ll need
- Track record programming 3 and/or 5axis CNC machines for precision production work.
- Experience in aerospace or similarly demanding industries.
- Safety, quality, and smart tool selection are second nature.
- Solid grasp of GD able to read CMM data, interpret trends, diagnose dimensional instability, and implement fixes.
- Willingness to experiment and drive development streams inside a live operations setting.
- Steadfast integrity in the face of tough production/debug challenges; actionoriented and teamfirst.
Make your application pop
- Background with steels, stainless, titanium, and Inconel.
