Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

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

As a Recruiter at Hadrian, you'll play a critical role in scaling the teams that power our growth from the engineers building our automation platform, to the factory teams delivering on throughput and quality, to the business functions that drive revenue and operations. This is not a traditional recruiting role: you'll work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where strong partnerships with leaders, sharp sourcing instincts, and sound judgment matter every day.

You'll join a growing Talent team that is collaborative, mission-driven, and execution-oriented, partnering closely with leadership to shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, and how Hadrian shows up in the talent market.

We are looking for Recruiters within the following domains:

• Technical Recruiter: Owns hiring for software engineers, product, designers, and other technical talent
• Business Recruiter: Owns hiring across GTM and G&A functions
• Manufacturing Recruiter: Owns recruiting across manufacturing operations

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting for your assigned function, from intake through offer
• Partner with hiring managers and leaders to define role requirements, success profiles, and hiring priorities
• Build and execute sourcing strategies to attract high-quality, diverse talent
• Run efficient, high-signal, compliant interview and selection processes
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience aligned with Hadrian's culture and values
• Track hiring performance and use data to identify bottlenecks and improve outcomes
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and leaders, providing market insight and recommendations
• Contribute to broader Talent initiatives, including employer branding and process improvement

Who You Are

• 5-8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience
• Experience closing complex offers, including negotiation across competing compensation and equity packages
• A strong communicator who builds trust with candidates and stakeholders
• Data-informed, organized, and proactive in managing competing priorities
• Thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments where priorities evolve quickly
• Passionate about candidate experience and building strong, high-performing teams

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience recruiting in technical, manufacturing, or hardware-software environments
• Startup or high-growth company experience

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is: $105,000 - $225,000 (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.

Benefits for Full-time Employees

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees 401k
