About
Manufacturing the future. We are building the planet's most efficient factory to accelerate a democratic, abundant, spacefaring future. Our mission is to create a network of highly automated precision component factories across the US that enable Space & Defense manufacturers to obtain parts 10x faster while halving the cost of producing Rockets, Satellites, Jets, and Drones. Hadrian is focused on accelerating advanced manufacturing to support America's Space & Defense industry, which currently faces production bottlenecks due to the limitations of traditional machine shops. Our factories promise to deliver flight-grade machined parts in just 5 to 21 days, depending on complexity and additional processes required. We employ advanced scheduling and capacity management technology that ensures ultra-reliable delivery timelines, maintaining transparency throughout the manufacturing process with real-time visibility into projects and inspection results. By partnering deeply with customers, we significantly enhance their New Product Introduction (NPI) and production throughput, ensuring lead times that reduce reliance on outdated methods. Hadrian's factories are designed to be flexible and scalable, preparing to handle the most demanding manufacturing programs and material needs, including capabilities for Steel, Titanium, and Inconel. As the advanced manufacturing sector evolves, Hadrian stands at the forefront, committed to bringing the future of manufacturing into the present.

Network Engineer
Senior Network Engineer owning the design, architecture, and reliability of networks across data center, campus, multi-site, and cloud for Hadrian's autonomous factories. Day to day spans BGP/OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN fabrics, Juniper Mist, SD-WAN, AWS/Azure networking, and IaC automation, with site bring-ups, on-call, and 10-20% travel.
Security Engineer, Full Stack
Founding security engineer at Hadrian, which builds autonomous factories for aerospace & defense. You'll own security end-to-end across app code, AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, identity/multi-tenancy, and factory-floor OT systems — building automated, AI-driven guardrails and turning CMMC 2.0/NIST 800-171 and ITAR compliance into engineering controls.
Construction QA Manager
Owner-side construction quality assurance manager for the buildout of Hadrian's advanced manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama. Day to day: field oversight of contractor work, running the construction QA plan, verifying testing and inspections, and managing NCRs and deficiencies across civil, structural, MEP, and equipment-installation scopes.
Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management
Staff software engineer who owns identity and access management for Hadrian's API Platform — building authentication, authorization, and credential automation across AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, and factory-floor systems. Core stack: OAuth 2.0/OIDC/SAML/SCIM, RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC, Go or Python, and multi-cloud IAM design.
Infrastructure Engineer
Owns the technical direction of the infrastructure platform behind Hadrian's automated aerospace factories — designing AWS cloud infrastructure, multi-cluster Kubernetes (EKS/K0s/K3s at the edge), Terraform, CI/CD, networking, and observability, while setting standards, mentoring engineers, and joining on-call.
