Job summary

Hadrian is seeking a Manager, Build Engineering - Commodities to lead a new, high‑impact team responsible for end‑to‑end NPI of commodity parts across machining, tube and pipe, and sheet metal. You will define build processes, write standard work, and coordinate with Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, and Manufacturing Engineering to drive ramp and transition to production.

You will hire and develop Build Engineers, partner with PLM/ERP/MES systems, and stay close to the floor, including

Qualifications

6–10+ years of experience in build, production, or manufacturing engineering.
2+ years leading or managing a team of engineers in a manufacturing environment.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience.

Responsibilities

Build and lead a team of Build Engineers across machining, tube and pipe, and sheet metal, and own hiring, staffing, and leveling decisions for the team.
Own commodity‑level new product introduction (NPI) outcomes, from requirements definition and subscale development through first article and stabilized production, for every part your team supports.
Make sure your team interprets and defines product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contracts before build plans are set.
Set a common standard for product requirements definition, build plans, high‑level process definitions, BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions across all three commodities, and for how they are managed in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems.
Tie the work of individual Build Engineers into one coherent execution plan, setting sequencing, prioritization, and risk mitigation across commodities and the product programs they serve.
Make sure Capability Engineering receives complete, stable process definitions early enough to select equipment that meets rate and quality requirements.
Own make/buy recommendations across commodities, balancing in‑house cell capacity against supplier capability with Supply Chain and Quality.
Drive shared development work across the team, such as subscale development articles, weld joint qualification (PQR/WPS), fixturing, and datum strategy, so each commodity doesn't solve the same problem separately.
Partner with Supply Chain, Capability Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Tooling Engineering, Quality, and Test to unblock constraints before they impact the build.
Serve as the primary escalation point for commodity build issues, resolving problems with drawings, tolerances, tooling, materials, and process flow in real time.
Lead the transfer of qualified processes and first article builds from development into new production cells, keeping ownership explicit at each handoff.
Represent the commodities team in program reviews, cross‑functional planning, and leadership updates.
Drive lessons learned across builds and transition stabilized processes into standard production.
