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.\nFollowing 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.\nBacked 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.\nIf 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.\nAbout the Role\nHadrian is building highly automated, software-defined factories for aerospace and defense. The Autonomous Factory Systems team executes the manufacturing of the parts, coordinating robotics and manufacturing machines through a hardware abstraction layer. Within it, the Cell Orchestration and Machine Interfaces team builds the software that runs each cell and connects its equipment to that layer.\nWe're looking for a Senior Staff Software Engineer to serve as the technical lead for the cell orchestration and machine interface software within a manufacturing capability. You'll lead the technical team day to day and bring new cells online across the different phases of this capability's manufacturing process, working closely with experts in its manufacturing processes and the operators who oversee the cells.\nThis is a hands-on, build-and-ship role for someone who wants to work directly with machines on the factory floor and see their software run production parts.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead the technical team in designing, building, and deploying the software that coordinates mechatronic devices (machines, robots, inspection equipment, fixtures, and peripherals) in the capability's automated cells.\n\nBuild and evolve the cell orchestration layer: workflow and state management, scheduling of cell activity, error recovery, and safe handoffs between devices.\n\nDevelop machine interface software that connects cell logic to industrial equipment through protocols such as OPC UA and Profinet, and through vendor-specific APIs.\n\nCreate human-machine interfaces that let technicians control, monitor, and troubleshoot automation on industrial machines.\n\nBuild data logging pipelines for connected devices that feed operational planning and factory scheduling.\n\nIntegrate the capability's automated cells into Hadrian factory systems so that each cell runs reliably as part of the larger production flow.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n10+ years of software engineering experience, including technical leadership of a team delivering complex systems on schedule.\n\nStrong proficiency in TypeScript or Python.\n\nExperience designing and operating distributed or event-driven systems with real-time or near-real-time requirements.\n\nA strong drive to work directly with hardware on the factory floor, including commissioning, debugging, and tuning cells alongside technicians and process experts.\n\nDemonstrated ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information and deliver on aggressive timelines.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience developing software that interfaces with physical systems in manufacturing, industrial automation, or 3D printing.\n\nExperience building operator-facing interfaces for industrial environments.\n\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).\n\nBenefits for Full-time Employees\nMedical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees 401k\n\nRelocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.\n\nFlexible vacation policy\n\nEquity\n\nITAR Requirements\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.\nUse of AI in hiring\nHadrian uses AI-assisted tools in our recruiting and hiring processes to help our team work more efficiently. This may include tools that help organize and analyze recruiting data, as well as an AI-powered notetaker that can record and transcribe interviews and help coordinate feedback. These tools support our team and are not used to make hiring decisions. All candidate evaluations and hiring decisions are performed by humans. If an interview will be recorded, you will be notified in advance and may opt out at any time with no impact on your candidacy. Candidate data processed through these tools is subject to the same protections described in our Privacy Policy.\nConsideration of Criminal History\nHadrian will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of all applicable laws. We do not ask about criminal history on our application, and we do not consider criminal history before making a conditional offer of employment.\nHadrian Is An Equal Opportunity Employer\nHadrian does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, marital status, mental status, physical disability or any other legally protected status.
