Full Job Description

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. Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond. We’re looking for a hands-on systems engineer who can take metal additive manufacturing equipment from standalone machines to fully integrated, automated production systems. This is the hands-on AM technical authority on the team. You will lead the commissioning, qualification, and production readiness of all PBF-LB systems executing FAT, SAT, IQ, and OQ protocols against the Hadrian standard, owning machine-level reliability programs, and serving as technical interface to OEM field engineers. You will also own cell-level P&IDs and support automation integration, ensuring every machine is production-ready by end of year. RESPONSIBILITIES: - Systems Integration and OPUS Enablement: Execute the end-to-end integration of metal AM machines, peripherals, and cell infrastructure into OPUS, Lead FAT and SAT for all incoming PBF-LB systems against Hadrian acceptance criteria — coordinating OEM field engineers, documenting results, and driving resolution of open items to production release. - Integration Architecture and Standards: Define system requirements,
