Descripción de la vacante

Hadrian, manufacturing the future in San Francisco, seeks a Director to lead the Forward Deployed team on critical programs, including government engagements. You will own the technical roadmap, drive delivery, and work directly with government stakeholders and Hadrian leadership.

You'll scale a team of engineers, product managers, and designers, stay hands-on early, and push for rapid, high-quality execution on multi-billion-dollar initiatives that redefine industrial autonomy.

Formación

• Demonstrated history lead engineering and product teams.
• Experience owning senior customer relationships and delivering on commitments.
• Strong product sense and ability to ship end-to-end.

Responsabilidades

• Own the technical roadmap and delivery. Take the program from the first ambiguous conversation to running in production, decide what Opus covers, what gets built, and what we say no to, and hold the team to a very high execution bar.
• Bring program learnings on platform teams. Share program learnings at Hadrian to improve the product for all customers and decide which Forward Deployed products should become part of Opus.
• Own the executive relationship on the technical side. Be the primary technical contact for customer program leadership, government stakeholders, and prime partners. Run technical reviews, have the hard conversations about scope and schedule yourself, and make the call when scope, schedule, and platform leverage pull against each other and the commercial stakes are real.
• Build and lead the team. Hire and grow the engineers, product managers, and designers on your program. You set the standard for how they work, and they bring you their hardest scoping calls.
• Stay hands-on. Early in a program that can mean building the v0 yourself. Later it means reviewing what your team ships closely enough to ensure it meets Hadrian’s quality bar.
