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

Hadrian is rapidly scaling autonomous factories to support programs in aerospace, national security, and advanced manufacturing. We’re looking for Estimators with deep experience in machining and/or advanced manufacturing in fast-paced environment who are excited to help build a next-generation estimation function.

What you’ll own

You will be responsible for technical DFM (design-for-manufacturability) analysis, quote generation, and technical risk assessments. You will contribute to improving our DFM and quoting systems, including using historical data to increase quote accuracy and accelerate DFM analyses. You will work with factory teams to ensure feasibility and recommend best fit manufacturing processes. You have exceptional technical acumen, are highly detail-oriented, and take an extreme ownership approach to assessing what enters the factory.
