Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies make rockets, jets, and satellites 10x faster and 2x cheaper. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in this video.

We are a lean yet mighty team (and growing!) of individuals who are passionate about building critical infrastructure to support the nation and advance humanity.

We've raised >

$200m to achieve this vision, with multiple rounds from Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, Construct Capital, Caffeinated Capital and more.

We utilize AI and Robotics to automate and scale factories that are globally cost-competitive and future-proof against the dramatic skilled labor shortage facing the Advanced Industrial Base.

Hadrian works with startups, Primes, and Tier 1 / 2s in all markets to cost-down, scale, or otherwise enable them to achieve production rates on critical programs in Rocketry, Satellites, Shipbuilding, Commercial, and Military aircraft, as well as other core, mission-critical industries.

The Role

We are seeking a skilled and driven Electrical & Controls Engineer to join Hadrian's Special Projects division, a team dedicated to building cutting-edge, custom automation work centers for bespoke processing needs. This role is focused on the design, development, and commissioning of specialized work centers that support high-precision, scalable manufacturing.

As part of this team, you will work directly with tooling engineers, software engineers, and project and program managers to bring advanced production systems from concept to operation. You'll be immersed in the technical aspects of automation, ensuring seamless integration of hardware and software across new manufacturing capabilities.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, the following :

• Lead the electrical and controls design for advanced automated manufacturing systems, including CNC, robotic, and tooling cells.
• Develop and maintain PLC applications using Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 or Siemens TIA Portal.
• Integrate and commission a variety of industrial robots and sensors using industrial protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, OPC-UA, and MQTT.
• Design and debug control panels to industrial standards (NFPA 79, UL 508A).
• Design and create HMI interfaces.
• Perform onsite commissioning, troubleshooting, and system optimization, including mentoring junior engineers and codifying best practices.
