Overview

Profile match
Hadrian is an American manufacturing company founded in 2020 that builds highly automated factories producing precision machined parts for aerospace, defence and space customers. Its argument is that the American defence industrial base is constrained not by design capacity but by machine shops: most are small, ageing and unable to hire machinists, so Hadrian automates the software and setup work around the machines rather than the cutting itself. Headquartered in Torrance, California with a larger plant in Arizona, it is backed by venture and defence-focused investors and sells parts rather than machines or software.

Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing-and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
