Company mission

To build the planet's most efficient factory to accelerate a democratic, abundant, spacefaring future.

Role

Who you are

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, or a relevant STEM field (preferred)
  • In lieu of a degree, at least 4 years of manufacturing experience in a high-intensity production environment may be considered
  • 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing role, with a strong preference for those who have led meaningful projects
  • Experience in developing and implementing production processes/systems in a high-growth environment
  • Proven track record of project execution in a manufacturing setting

Desirable

  • Demonstrated experience with Lean and Six Sigma methodologies
  • Experience applying software approaches (SQL, VBA, Python, etc.) is a plus

What the job involves

  • We're seeking a skilled and dynamic individual to join our team as a Go-To-Market (GTM) Manufacturing Engineer
  • In this role, you will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between our manufacturing processes and our valued customers during the go-to-market phase of our products
  • You will be responsible for ensuring seamless communication, understanding customer requirements, and implementing manufacturing solutions that exceed expectations
  • At Hadrian, GTM Manufacturing Engineers are the lynchpin between our Sales and Operations team
  • (1) Build trust-based relationships with the supply chain professionals and engineers within the programs we work with. More than a supplier, we ambition to be a strategic partner that influences design decisions as the programs mature and rate increases
  • (2) Support Operations to build the necessary process to support the unique specificities of each program when we introduce a new product in our system. This is especially important for things like post-processing and compliance. Over time, you will be responsible for the automation of special processes
  • Customer Liaison: Act as the primary point of contact between Hadrian and our customers during the go-to-market phase, ensuring clear and effective communication at all stages of the manufacturing process
  • Quoting and DFM: Prepare accurate quotations for manufacturing services based on customer requirements and perform DFM analyses to optimize product designs for manufacturability, cost, quality and lead time
  • PO and Work Order Creation: Generate and manage new work orders in accordance with customer specifications and production schedules, ensuring timely execution and resource allocation
  • Customer Support: Provide technical ME support and troubleshooting assistance to customers during the work execution phase, addressing inquiries, resolving issues, and ensuring overall satisfaction with Hadrian’s products and services
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities for enhancing tools, workflows, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to streamline manufacturing processes and improve efficiency

Our take

Hadrian is an industrial automation company that creates autonomous factories for aerospace components. Founded by a former history student, the inspiration for Hadrian was the notion that throughout history, empires begin to fall when they outsource their core industries to lower-cost countries, resulting in internal stagnation and mass unemployment.

To counter this historic trend, founder Chris Power founded Hadrian, which uses machine learning to automate the processes of component factories. Power honed in on key US industries that were lacking in scaleable solutions. Aerospace and defense is one area in which the USA relies on boutique experts who lack the manpower to build at scale. This factory automation solution addresses bottlenecks in manufacturing aerospace components that slow down progress due to owner-operated machine shops.

With investment from early Facebook and Air BnB investors Andreessen Horowitz, Hadrian is setting a precedent for a new era of machine work innovation. Hadrian’s main challenge will be convincing smaller manufacturers in the sector to embrace the precision and time-saving benefits of automation. With two factories now operational, Hadrian will need to continue its growth to meet the growing demand for component manufacturing.
