Lead Manufacturing Engineer, Tube Bender

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We are hiring rapidly for the factories-as-a-service team that will effectively analyze, design, scope, plan, and handover (or join) execution of large-scale manufacturing efforts.

This role will oversee drawing reviews, capital expenditure planning, and automation feedback for Tube Bending as part of the Factories as a Service team.

The Hadrian Factories as a Service team works across all manufacturing methods, and this role is expected to be the Lead Engineer for scoping, designing, planning, and automation feedback for Tube Bending across all material types and configurations.

You'll be able to review drawings for manufacturability rapidly, select the right CapEx for part numbers and assemblies, advise our automation team on Tube Bending best practices, and have a deep working knowledge of production and inspection methods for Tube Bending.
