Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jul 13, 2026. Hadrian scores A on the Alion truth index.
Join Hadrian's Applications Engineering team as a CNC Applications Engineer. You will develop innovative machining solutions, execute our Machining roadmap, and work closely with various engineering teams. Your responsibilities will include developing manufacturing processes for complex aerospace components, building automation and process control workflows, diagnosing production failures, and advising on tooling and process engineering. You will also support factory launches and production stabilization.
Missions
- Develop manufacturing processes for complex aerospace and defense components, including machining strategy, tooling, workholding, probing, and inspection.
- Take 0-1 New Product Introduction parts from print to production for new customers, new materials, and new part families.
- Build the automation, process control, and software workflows that let production run without constant engineering attention.
Profil recherché
- Working knowledge of machining fundamentals, including tooling, workholding, GD&T, inspection, and process validation- A track record of solving difficult manufacturing problems and building technical systems that hold up in production
- The ability to trace a problem across process, equipment, software, and operational causes
- Depth in one or two of these areas, with the judgment to work across the rest: machining, manufacturing engineering, automation, robotics, metrology, simulation, tooling, or software for manufacturing
- Clear written and verbal communication with machinists, engineers, and factory leadership
