Backend Tech Lead, Factory Automation

Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.

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 u...
