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.
Hadrian is scaling the next generation of autonomous precision manufacturing across aerospace, national security, and advanced manufacturing programs. As part of this mission, we are building out a world-class additive manufacturing capability — and we need a capable Technical Program Manager who has done this before.
We are looking for someone who has taken complex metal AM equipment from development through industrialization, built the automation and process infrastructure around it, and driven it to production-grade reliability. This is not a coordination role — it is an ownership role.
You will serve as the program execution backbone for our additive manufacturing buildout, managing cross-functional delivery across engineering, operations, supply chain, software, and customer-facing programs. As Hadrian expands factory footprint across new and existing locations, you will own the infrastructure and program milestones that make it happen.Own end-to-end delivery of AM programs — from requirements and process development through equipment qualification, factory integration, and production handoff. This includes LPBF system commissioning, FAT/SAT execution.RESPONSIBILITIES:
Define and maintain program planning artifacts: WBS, integrated master schedules (IMS), risk registers, and EVM reporting.
Lead process qualification efforts — owning parameter development cycles, establishing production baselines, and ensuring 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 the 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.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS:
5+ years of experience in technical program management within aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing environments — with a track record of delivering hardware-intensive programs on time.
Direct, 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 — not just track the people doing it.
Strong cross-functional coordination skills across engineering, operations, supply chain, and software in fast-paced, resource-constrained environments.
Ability to communicate program status, risks, and decisions crisply to both senior technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
Familiarity with NIAR qualification frameworks or experience guiding AM programs through third-party process certification and audit readiness.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
COMPENSATION:
For this role, the target salary range is $135,000 - $175,000 (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. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
