About
At Hadrian, we are at the forefront of a new industrial revolution, pioneering groundbreaking technology to reshape the future of American manufacturing. Our core mission is to eliminate the critical bottlenecks that have long plagued the aerospace and defense industries. Through the development of highly automated, software-driven factories, we are enabling our partners to build the next generation of rockets, satellites, jets, and drones at a pace previously unimaginable. Our vertically integrated approach, which combines proprietary software, advanced robotics, and the expertise of skilled machinists, allows us to produce high-precision components with micron-level tolerances. This synergy of innovation empowers us to deliver flight-grade parts in a fraction of the traditional time, reducing lead times from months to mere days. Our innovation is not just about speed; it's about creating a resilient and scalable industrial base for the United States. By building a network of advanced manufacturing facilities, we are supercharging the American worker, leveraging AI, machine learning, and robotics to amplify human capability. This allows one person to accomplish what previously required ten, fundamentally altering the economics of domestic production. Our 'factory as a product' philosophy means we are constantly refining our processes, from quoting and programming to machining and inspection, to drive down costs and increase efficiency by over 40%. This commitment to technological advancement ensures that our partners in space, defense, and other critical sectors can iterate faster, innovate more freely, and ultimately, maintain a competitive edge on a global scale. Hadrian is not just building parts; we are building the future of manufacturing, ensuring a prosperous and secure industrial commons for generations to come.
Open positions


Weld Engineering Manager, Development
Leads Hadrian's weld development team in Los Angeles, developing and qualifying weld processes for aerospace, defense, and maritime hardware and scaling them into production. Owns welding equipment and process selection, sets welding standards, and grows the team; core skills span NAVSEA, AWS D17.1, ASME Section IX, and advanced welding methods.


Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management
Staff engineer owning identity & access management for Hadrian's manufacturing API Platform: builds authentication, authorization (SSO, MFA, OIDC/SAML, RBAC/ABAC/ReBAC), and credential automation across AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, and factory-floor systems. Core stack: Go or Python and modern auth protocols.


Software Engineer, Machine Interfaces
Software engineer building interfaces for industrial machinery (PLCs, mills, welds) in Hadrian's autonomous factories, using Python/TypeScript/C# and working hands-on with hardware on the factory floor in Los Angeles.


Software Engineer, Identity
Senior identity engineer owning workforce and workload identity end-to-end — SSO, MFA, joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, privileged access, and service/machine identity — across corporate, cloud, and factory systems handling export-controlled data. Core tech: Okta/Entra/Auth0, OAuth 2.0/OIDC/SAML, RBAC/ReBAC, AWS IAM/Azure.
