Job summary

Hadrian is seeking a Technical Field Engineer to stand up IT infrastructure at new factories and expand IT at existing sites across the U.S. You will be on site for wiring, network, and endpoint deployment, coordinating with IT, facilities, and machinery teams to align technology with manufacturing builds.

You will travel extensively, construct runbooks, document changes, and ensure production-ready environments with security systems and OT integration.

Qualifications

• Willingness and ability to travel extensively to new builds and existing factories.
• Experience coordinating electrical/low-voltage/vendors on-site.
• Experience deploying security systems (cameras, badge readers, sensors) and AV systems.
• Endpoint deployment and management with Intune, Mosyle or FleetDM.
• Networking fundamentals: LAN/WAN, VLANs, Wi‑Fi, firewall basics.
• Familiarity with Okta for identity and access management.
• Strong documentation habits; runbooks, diagrams, and as‑built records.
• Hands-on field deployment in manufacturing environments is a plus.
• Experience standing up greenfield sites or data centers is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Plan with the Manager of IT Deployment on site-specific requirements and scoping.
• Build and maintain deployment runbooks, diagrams, and asset records.
• Document as-built conditions and update site records during buildout.
• Coordinate with architects, designers, and vendors to capture changes.

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 scaling fast, standing up new factories and expanding existing ones across the country. We’re looking for a Technical Field Engineer to be the person on the ground who brings new IT infrastructure to life. This is a hands-on, travel-heavy role focused on standing up IT at new sites and deploying hardware for new manufacturing lines at existing facilities.

Early in each project you’ll work closely with the Manager of IT Deployment on planning, scoping, and documentation. As projects move to execution, you’ll be on-site doing the physical work: racking and cabling infrastructure, deploying network and endpoint hardware, and getting sites production-ready. You’ll partner with the central IT, infrastructure, network, security, and helpdesk teams throughout.

You’ll also work side by side with the Factory Development team, who own the manufacturing machinery and the construction of the site itself. Both teams are on the ground together to stand up new factories and add machinery to existing ones, so aligning IT deployment with machine installation and the overall buildout is central to the role.

What You’ll Do

Planning & Documentation

Partner with the Manager of IT Deployment on project planning, scoping, and requirements for new sites and line expansions

Build and maintain deployment documentation: runbooks, network diagrams, rack elevations, and asset records

Document as‑built conditions and keep site records accurate as the build progresses

Work with architects and designers to ensure any changes or modifications are captured and documented as part of the process

Develop repeatable deployment playbooks so each site launch is faster and more consistent than the last

Track project status, timelines, and materials, and flag risks early

Site Standup & Hardware Deployment

Travel to new and existing factories to stand up IT infrastructure and deploy hardware

Rack, cable, and configure network gear (switches, WAPs, firewalls) and supporting infrastructure

Deploy and configure endpoints, peripherals, and shop-floor devices for new manufacturing lines

Work with vendors to deploy and support physical security systems (cameras, badge/access readers, sensors), AV and conference room systems, and office IoT devices such as printers

Partner with Factory Development on-site to align IT deployment with machinery installation and the overall factory buildout

Bring sites online: validate connectivity, wireless coverage, and core services to production-ready

Provide hands-on support during go-live, then hand off cleanly to the local or central IT team

Coordinate and project manage electrical and low-voltage vendors on-site: schedule work, track progress against the IT scope, and keep installs on timeline

Confirm cabling, fiber, pathways, and power are built to spec, and hold vendors accountable to Hadrian standards

Serve as the on-site IT point of contact for Factory Development, construction, and facilities, providing regular status updates

Manage local vendor relationships and elevate issues that put the schedule or scope at risk

Logistics & Asset Management

Receive, stage, and deploy infrastructure and endpoint hardware

Manage shipping and receiving of IT materials across sites

Maintain accurate asset inventory for deployed equipment and consumables

Security & Compliance

Enforce Hadrian’s security tooling on deployed devices: EDR, MDM, and IAM

Support CMMC Level 2 and CUI handling requirements at applicable sites

Coordinate with central IT and InfoSec on compliance during buildouts

What We’re Looking For

Willingness and ability to travel extensively to new builds and existing factories

Experience coordinating or project managing electrical, low-voltage, or structured cabling vendors on-site

Experience deploying and supporting physical security systems (cameras, badge readers, sensors), AV/conference room systems, and office IoT devices such as printers

Comfortable collaborating cross-functionally with construction, facilities, and engineering teams on the ground

Endpoint deployment and management experience (Intune, Mosyle, or FleetDM)

Networking fundamentals: LAN/WAN, VLANs, Wi-Fi, firewall basics

Familiarity with Okta for identity and access management

Strong documentation habits and comfort building runbooks, diagrams, and as-built records

High degree of independence, ownership, and initiative

Manufacturing or industrial environment experience strongly preferred

Comfortable operating as a mobile extension of a distributed team

What Will Set You Apart

Experience designing and standing up greenfield sites or data centers from scratch

Experience with the construction process and reading drawings and working with architects, designers, and general contractors

Structured cabling and low-voltage coordination experience

Experience deploying IT for manufacturing or production lines (OT, shop-floor devices), including coordinating with machinery and equipment teams

Hands-on experience with physical access control, video surveillance (VMS), and building sensor platforms

CMMC, ITAR, and CUI handling experience

Ability to stay professional, detailed oriented and self-directed on customer and partner sites

Benefits for Full-time Employees

Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
