Leads Forward Deployed Engineering teams delivering technical outcomes for major government, defense, and manufacturing programs. Owns technical roadmaps, product scope, architecture, production delivery, executive customer relationships, and integration of program learnings into Hadrian’s platform. Builds and scales multidisciplinary teams, hires engineers and product leaders, makes tradeoffs involving scope, schedule, cost, quality, and platform leverage, and remains hands-on in early-stage development and technical reviews.

You will design and implement IAM systems, own authentication and authorization, and ensure secure-by-default principles across Hadrian's API platform.

Leads accounting systems transformation and finance automation, including NetSuite and Salesforce optimization, AI agent deployment, integrations, reporting, and internal tooling. Owns project plans, testing, training, go-live, controls, and executive reporting while partnering with engineering and cross-functional teams. Identifies automation opportunities, pilots AI vendors, supports SOX requirements, and trains finance staff on new workflows.

Build financial models for factory investments, manufacturing capabilities, and customer programs. Evaluate ROI, payback, cash flow, capacity, and operational economics; support M&A, joint ventures, capital markets, and diligence; maintain forecasts and budgets; identify program risks; and prepare executive and board materials. Partner cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, accounting, legal, and leadership to turn ambiguous analyses into investment decisions.

Designs and commissions automated robotic, CNC, and tooling cells from concept through production handoff. Responsibilities include PLC, robot, HMI, motion-control, electrical-panel, industrial-network, machine-vision, sensor, and safety-device integration. The engineer performs floor commissioning, risk assessments, root-cause analysis, and customer run-offs while collaborating with manufacturing, tooling, software, and program-management teams. The role also mentors engineers and technicians and develops reusable controls libraries and standards.

Own the design and delivery of automated factory equipment from concept through production acceptance. Lead cross-functional mechanical, controls, software, and manufacturing teams; define requirements, conduct design reviews, manage phase gates, and ensure equipment meets timeline, cost, reliability, and performance goals. Partner with factory development and production teams to deploy turnkey systems. The role requires mechanical CAD expertise, automated equipment development experience, and collaboration across engineering and manufacturing functions.

Own full-cycle recruiting for technical, business, or manufacturing functions, from intake through offer. Partner with leaders to define hiring needs, develop sourcing strategies, run compliant interviews, deliver strong candidate experiences, and close complex offers. Track recruiting data to improve outcomes, advise hiring managers with market insights, and contribute to employer branding and talent-process initiatives in a fast-growing environment.

Design custom industrial machinery, automation equipment, robotic tooling, fixtures, and mechanical systems from concept through commissioning. Create CAD models, manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and engineering documentation using GD&T and design-for-manufacturing principles. Support fabrication, machining, welding, assembly, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement while collaborating with manufacturing, controls, suppliers, project management, and technicians.

Advise leaders on people strategies, employee relations, performance management, talent development, organizational design, change management, workforce planning, compensation cycles, and manager coaching. Support exempt and non-exempt employees across engineering, manufacturing, and shop-floor teams while ensuring policy compliance, documentation, fairness, engagement, and accountability. Partner with People Operations, Recruiting, and Legal on scalable programs, investigations, and organizational transitions.

Build scalable automated solutions for device fleet management, own and optimize MDM platforms, write OS-level scripts for self-healing, gather telemetry to prevent end-user disruption, translate compliance (CMMC) into code-managed baselines, and create dashboards and alerts measuring end-user SLOs.

Lead and grow a robotics engineering team building autonomous factory systems (perception, planning, control, collision avoidance). Hire, mentor, partner cross-functionally, influence technical direction, and improve engineering practices across design, testing, simulation, deployment, and incident response.

The Infrastructure Engineer will design and implement advanced cloud infrastructure, manage Kubernetes, establish engineering standards, and support IoT deployments in manufacturing environments while driving automation and mentoring teammates.

Design and execute sourcing strategies to build talent pipelines for engineering, manufacturing, and G&A roles. Leverage automation, data-driven prospecting, and tools to surface passive candidates, partner with hiring managers, drive inclusive hiring, manage multiple requisitions, and deliver market insights and candidate experiences that improve interview-to-offer conversion.

Design and implement reliable backend systems and APIs for manufacturing software, collaborating with teams to redefine production processes. Candidates should have expertise in distributed systems and programming across multiple languages.

The Frontend Software Engineer will develop and maintain critical applications using TypeScript and React. The role involves engagement in product discovery, coding, and deployment of applications to enhance manufacturing processes.

Lead and execute perception R&D and engineering for factory robots: define multi-year roadmap, architect perception pipelines (detection, segmentation, 6-DoF pose, scene understanding), drive sensor fusion and calibration, establish data/model workflows and deployment practices, integrate with planning/control, hire and mentor engineers, and evaluate research for production adoption.

Lead design and implementation of enterprise detection and response across corporate, cloud, and factory environments. Build AI-native D&R stack (detection-as-code, LLM-assisted triage, agentic response), run incident response from triage to remediation, set technical direction for a small team, and ensure compliance with ITAR/CMMC requirements.

As a Fullstack Software Engineer, you'll develop critical applications for Hadrian's FactoryOS, collaborating with teams to enhance manufacturing processes.

Embed on customer programs to deliver end-to-end solutions: integrate and configure the Opus platform, build bespoke software and integrations, iterate rapidly, communicate with stakeholders, and translate field learnings into platform direction.
