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
We are seeking a skilled and driven backend software engineer with experience in robotics to join Hadrian’s Factory Automation division, a team dedicated to building and scaling Hadrian’s core machining business. This role is focused on the development of robotic software and automated cell control code that drives high-precision, scalable manufacturing.
As part of this team, you will lead software engineers and robotics engineers to bring advanced production systems from concept to operation. You will help execute our automation roadmap to scale Hadrian to be multi-factory across the US. We are looking to add a curious and self-motivated expert to join our already world class team.
What You’ll Do
Develop software to interface with physical systems such as CNC machines and other manufacturing equipment.
Design motion paths and write code to control manufacturing robots. Build robot APIs and interfaces for higher level cell control software.
Collaborate with engineers and operations to conceptualize, deploy, and upgrade manufacturing cells. Ensure seamless software integration of automated manufacturing systems into Hadrian factories.
Drive technical decision-making processes and set engineering direction while also building a culture of continuous improvement.
Develop standards, documentation, and procedures for scalable automation deployment. Encourage software development best practices and foster an environment that encourages engineers to build amazing systems.
Build data logging pipelines for connected devices that feed operational planning and factory scheduling.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor's degree in an engineering, physics, or computer science discipline.
10+ years of full stack software engineering experience. Deep experience architecting and operating fault-tolerant, distributed, autonomous systems.
Experience developing software to interface with physical systems in a field such as manufacturing, industrial automation, or 3D printing.
Experience with creating, testing, and debugging industrial robot programs.
Demonstrated ability to make decisions with incomplete information and deliver complex systems on schedule.
Expertise in secure software practices, cybersecurity for IoT devices, and regulatory compliance.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $220,000 - $280,000 (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.
