Job description

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

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.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

The Role:

Hadrian is building advanced software systems to automate Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis and accelerate precision manufacturing. Our homebuilt DFM platform analyzes design prints and CAD models to make logical, data-driven determinations about whether and how Hadrian can manufacture a part.

We work closely with some of the best operators in the world to identify high-impact opportunities where software, computer vision, and machine learning can meaningfully augment or automate complex engineering judgment. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, building, and scaling these systems end to end.

What You’ll Do:

Research, develop and deploy cutting-edge deep learning models, including OCR, vision-language, and detection models for document understanding and layout analysis

Contribute to the ongoing development and refinement of current models in close collaboration within the engineering team and end users

Work in every facet of the Machine Learning lifecycle - including the creation and optimization of production data pipelines, and software systems for training, inference, labeling, and evaluation

Judiciously combine open-source solutions and novel research to create world-class vision systems for manufacturing applications

What We’re Looking For:

Bachelors in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (or similar discipline), or an equivalent amount of deep learning experience

5+ years of experience in Computer Vision and/or Machine Learning, including ownership of projects throughout the entire ML Lifecycle

Proficiency in Python, OpenCV, SQL, and one or more deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, Tensorflow, etc.)

What sets you apart:

A Master’s Degree in Computer Science with focus in Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning

Demonstrated experience with detection/segmentation models and achieving high performance results - including exploratory analysis, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning

Previously worked in aerospace, defense, or manufacturing, and have experience working 3D/CAD/CAM data for manufacturing applications

Prior experience with distributed training using cloud infrastructure

Prior experience with visual document understanding and layout analysis

Published research or achieved SOA results on an ML application

Prior experience with multi-modal deep learning models

You have a passion for manufacturing and believe that the industry needs better software

Prior experience working in a startup environment

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is $160,000- $300,000(actual range may vary based on experience).

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
