Zusammenfassung

Hadrian in Los Angeles seeks a Technical Program Manager for Additive Manufacturing to own complex metal AM programs from development through industrialization. You will build automation, establish baselines, and drive production-grade reliability across engineering, operations, supply chain, software and customer-facing programs.

You will lead cross-functional teams to ensure on-time delivery, maintain program health, and coordinate with sales and partners on proposals, while managing CapEx

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years of experience in technical program management within aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing environments.
• Hands-on experience with metal additive manufacturing: process development, equipment qualification or production industrialization.
• Proven ability to take complex manufacturing systems from development through production-grade reliability.
• Strong cross-functional coordination across engineering, operations, supply chain and software in fast-paced environments.
• Ability to communicate program status and decisions crisply to senior technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
• Familiarity with NIAR qualification frameworks or AM program certifications and audit readiness.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical field.

Aufgaben

• Define and maintain program planning artifacts: WBS, integrated master schedules, risk registers, and EVM reporting.
• Lead process qualification efforts — own parameter development cycles, establish production baselines, and ensure traceability from process inputs to qualified output standards.
• Drive automation and subsystem integration across the AM production cell: laser and scanner systems, powder and gas handling, recoater and z-stage, thermal management, safety interlocks, and control systems connectivity.
• Establish and continuously improve machine monitoring and reliability programs.
• Serve as the primary technical and programmatic interface for aerospace and defense customers and partners — leading program status briefings and reviews with clear, decision-ready communication.
• Serve as connective tissue across sales, supply chain and engineering: systems, materials & process, applications, software and quality — identifying and resolving execution risks early to maintain program health and delivery commitments.
• Manage CapEx budget for AM facility buildouts and coordinate with contractors and internal stakeholders. Advocate for strategic investments in AM equipment, facility requirements, process automation and infrastructure.
• Partner with sales on program shaping, proposal development, BOE generation and DFARS/ITAR-compliant delivery frameworks.
