OverviewHadrian 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 expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.Hadrian is backed by leading investors and is focused on reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.The RoleHadrian is seeking a Process Engineer with expertise in sheet metal manufacturing to define and develop robust, scalable production processes for complex parts. This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and cross-functional — enabling production readiness and factory design for critical programs.You'll translate technical data (BOMs, CAD models, drawings) into actionable manufacturing strategies, working closely with design, operations, quality, and customer teams. You'll scope new parts, develop process routings, and define the tooling, equipment, and inspection infrastructure needed to build them at scale.What You'll DoAnalyze engineering data to classify and scope sheet metal parts into process familiesDevelop first-principles cycle time estimates and detailed process routingsDefine factory requirements for cutting, forming, welding, finishing, and inspectionTranslate processes into staffing, equipment, layout, and QA plansSpecify tools, jigs, fixtures, and inspection equipmentCollaborate with internal and external stakeholders to validate assumptions and drive alignmentOwn the process definition from part intake through production rampDrive schedule recovery, manufacturability improvements, and risk mitigation for critical programsWhat We're Looking For5+ years of hands-on experience in sheet metal manufacturing or process engineeringStrong understanding of flat pattern development, bend allowances, and GD&TProficient in sheet metal processes: laser/plasma/waterjet cutting, forming, spot/GMAW/GTAW welding, finishingExperience developing process routings, tooling/fixture designs, and quality plans (FAI, SPC, MSA)Clear communicator with strong documentation and project planning skillsWhat Will Set You ApartExperience launching new production lines or greenfield operationsExposure to aerospace, defense, or other regulated manufacturing environmentsFamiliarity with NDT, weld qualifications, and special processesBackground in automation, robotics, or advanced inspection techniquesBenefitsMedical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees401kRelocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business needFlexible vacation policyITAR RequirementsTo conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., 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.
