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.
The Role:
Technical Program Managers (TPMs) exist to make cross functional and cross organizational work land. A TPM owns the outcome across teams that do not report to each other, holds the dependencies nobody else is holding, and makes progress visible without pushing reporting overhead onto the teams doing the work. TPMs are not just stenographers or status chasers, but end-to-end problem solvers from discovery -> execution. As a jack or jill of all traits, TPMs get the job done no matter the hurdles in their way.
As the Infrastructure TPM, you will own the programs that span capacity, reliability, identity, builder tools, and corporate IT. Your partners are Infrastructure Engineering, IT, Security, and the factory and engineering teams that depend on them. You will join a small TPM function that is still defining how it works. From managing capacity to transforming our AI development process, you will be at the heart of platform initiatives that improve the company’s operations.
What You’ll Do
Capacity: Own the capacity process from forecasting through ordering to provisioning, across factories, offices, and engineering.
Reliability: Mature the reliability program: incident management, RCA reviews, and action item tracking across the company.
Builder tools: Drive adoption of the builder tool suite that puts AI into how Hadrian designs, writes, reviews, and ships software.
Identity and access: Own account, access, and device lifecycle as headcount and sites grow.
Function building: Help define what TPM means at Hadrian, leading by example.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years in technical program management, including several owning infrastructure programs at the scale of a domain rather than a workstream inside one.
Hands-on experience with hardware procurement and provisioning.
Experience driving programs end-to-end from 0 → 1. You are not just a facilitator, but a complete owner end-to-end.
Strong written communication favoring asynchronous updates over synchronous meetings.
Able to influence without authority across functions and teams both within and external to your domain.
Able to balance planning with long lead times with company-wide strategic pivots.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Willingness to travel. New locations are being spun up, and site walks may be necessary to understand hardware needs.
What Will Set You Apart
Knows how to uplevel themselves using AI without dumping slop on their stakeholders.
Knows how to bring efficiency over process for process' sake. Doing this requires a broad toolkit vs always bringing a hammer regardless of the problem context.
Experience in mixed hardware/software environments such as aerospace, defense, automotive, semiconductor, or another regulated, high-precision manufacturing environment.
Extreme comfort with ambiguity and minimal direction. You balance analysis paralysis with data gathering and ask questions as you go to ensure you are working on the right work in the right way.
Technically fluent enough to influence design discussions in the domain (kubernetes, networking, pipelines, etc).
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $164,000 - $243,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Benefits for Full-time Employees
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees 401k
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
Flexible vacation policy
Equity
