Job Description

Build the Future with Hadrian

Imagine walking onto a factory floor where AI, robotics, and modern software power every move—and your work helps launch rockets, guide satellites, and support critical defense programs. That’s Hadrian. We’re reindustrializing America by delivering full‑stack, autonomous manufacturing that gets aerospace and defense hardware built up to 10x faster and at a far lower cost.

We’re scaling quickly following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation. New capabilities are coming online across welding, casting, forging, electronics, and additive manufacturing as we expand our Factory‑as‑a‑Service platform. We’re fortunate to be backed by JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley.

The Opportunity

As a Central Operations Manufacturing Technician, you’ll start your journey on our second shift, rotating across the stations that make everything before and after machining run flawlessly. This is an entry‑level role with robust on‑the‑job training—your curiosity and willingness to learn matter more than prior industry experience.

Shift: Monday–Friday, 3:30 pm–12:00 am

A Day in the Life

From clock‑in to close, you’ll help keep production flowing:

• Material Preparation: Receive and record incoming metal stock, cut material to length on an automated bandsaw, and verify dimensions using basic metrology tools.
• Tool Crib: Assemble and break down cutting tools, use tool presetters, and confirm angles and offsets for accuracy.
• Part Marking: Apply serials and IDs using laser, epoxy, and ink methods to ensure traceability.
• Shipping & Receiving: Pack and dispatch parts; visually inspect items returning from outside processing.
• Rework: Perform careful, hands‑on adjustments so finished pieces meet customer specifications.

What You’ll Bring

• Drive to master precision inspection methods and follow structured training.
• Comfort with repetitive, detail‑oriented tasks while seated or standing for extended periods.
• Physical ability to bend, kneel, squat, stand, and lift up to 40 lbs unassisted.
• Familiarity with hand and pneumatic tools (preferred).
• Exceptional attention to detail and a quality‑first mindset.
• Clear communication and a collaborative, team‑oriented approach.

Why Hadrian

Join a team that’s redefining how critical products are built—and building American manufacturing jobs for generations to come. You’ll gain multi‑station exposure, grow rapidly with hands‑on mentorship, and contribute to hardware that truly matters.

Compensation note: Hadrian considers factors such as location, experience, and skill set when determining pay. Every role and site is benchmarked against current market data.
