Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full‑stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000‑square‑foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory‑as‑a‑Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

• Design and develop custom holding devices, fixtures, and tooling interfaces to improve manufacturability and efficiency.
• Set up and utilize optical instruments and model‑based metrology tools for inspection and alignment.
• Interpret and work from detailed engineering drawings, CAD models, and specifications to perform high‑precision setups.
• Identify and recommend continuous improvements to tooling processes, documentation, and equipment utilization.

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in precision mechanical construction.
• Minimum 10 years of experience with model‑based metrology tools (e.g., laser trackers, articulated arms, or coordinate measuring machines).
• Proficiency in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), engineering reference systems, and complex blueprint interpretation.
• Demonstrated hands‑on expertise with bench inspection tools and advanced metrology equipment.

What Will Set You Apart

• Knowledge of tooling integration with automated manufacturing systems.
• Experience with building and assembling large, complex fixtures.
• Understanding of welding processes and their impact on tooling accuracy and tolerance stack‑up.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical teams.
