Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future
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’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. 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 including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The RoleEngineering velocity is a strategic advantage at Hadrian. As we scale our software organization, the quality of our tools, workflows, and development practices directly determines how fast we can move. The Builder Tools team owns that surface area, working across the entire SDLC to reduce friction, accelerate delivery, and bring AI-assisted development practices to every engineering team.
As Senior Engineering Manager of Builder Tools, you will lead a team of 6-10 engineers focused on engineering productivity, internal tooling, and AI-enabled development workflows. Your users are Hadrian's engineers, and your mission is to make them faster and more effective. You will report to the VP of Engineering and partner closely with infrastructure, security, and product teams to drive improvements across CI/CD, testing, deployment, and observability.
This is a high-leverage role. The work you ship here touches every engineer at Hadrian.
What You'll DoLead and grow a team of engineers focused on engineering productivity and internal developer tools

Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
The Role
Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world. As we win new programs and stand up new factories, the workforce question gets decided early, usually before a contract is signed and almost always before anyone has validated whether the labor assumptions hold. Getting that wrong means delayed milestones, unmet contractual obligations, and a workforce that cannot ramp to meet production. Getting it right is a prerequisite for every program we take on.
We are looking for a Workforce Programs Manager to own the scoping of workforce for new Hadrian programs end to end. This is the person who sits with the sales and federal teams while a deal is still being shaped, reads the statement of work, and translates it into a labor model, a headcount plan, a training strategy, and a clear build-versus-partner decision. It is a new function. You are the first hire in it, and it is tied directly to our program and factory expansion roadmap.
You will build the labor models that tell us what a program actually costs in people. You will design the training strategy for capabilities we have never run before, including regulated programs like NAVSEA-compliant welder workmanship and new NDT certification tracks. You will own the framework for what Hadrian builds internally versus what we source through partners, and you will manage the institutional partnerships that follow from that decision. You will be the forward-looking input to the Workforce Development organization, working with the team on what is coming so they can scale ahead of demand instead of reacting to it.
The right person has been in the room where program commitments are made and understands what those commitments mean for the workforce before anyone else does. They are equally comfortable in a business development review with a prime contractor, building a headcount model in a spreadsheet, and walking a community college president through what a partnership would require. They default to building capability internally and treat partnerships as a deliberate tool, not a first response.
What You'll Do
Program Workforce Scoping
Embed with the sales and federal teams during program pursuit to scope workforce requirements before commitments are finalized
Read and interpret statements of work, contract terms, and program milestones, and translate them into executable workforce plans
Identify the labor, training, and certification obligations a program creates, and surface the risks and gaps while there is still time to address them
Labor Modeling and Headcount Planning
Build labor models and headcount plans for new programs and capability expansions, covering Factory Technician, Weld Technician, and NDT Technician roles as well as the indirect and support headcount programs require
Validate that labor assumptions in deal and operational models are internally consistent and flow through to real headcount outputs
Own the workforce-cost view of a program and defend it to finance, operations, and program leadership
Training Strategy for New Capabilities
Design the training and certification strategy for capabilities Hadrian has not run before, including regulated programs such as NAVSEA welder workmanship and new NDT method tracks
Map external certification and audit requirements into the training plan so compliance is built in from the start
Define cohort timing, trainer ratios, and lead times from hire to certified, working backward from program readiness dates
Build-versus-Partner Strategy and Partnerships
Own the framework for determining whether a workforce need is best met by building internally or sourcing through an external partner, with a default toward insourcing
Manage the portfolio of institutional partnerships that follow from that decision, including community colleges, trade schools, universities, veteran programs, and high school pathways
Represent Hadrian in partner negotiations, MOU development, and ongoing relationship management, and hold partners to defined quality and output standards
Treat partnerships as foundational pre-employment pipeline tools, not a substitute for building Hadrian's own capability
Workforce Org Readiness
Work closely with the Director of Workforce Development to ensure the Workforce organization is staffed and structured to scale with the program portfolio
Provide the forward-looking inputs the WFD org needs to hire, build curriculum, and stand up training operations ahead of program demand
Maintain visibility for internal stakeholders into the workforce pipeline across all active and pursued programs
What We're Looking For
7+ years in workforce planning, labor modeling, program management, or business development, with demonstrated experience translating program or contract requirements into operational workforce plans
Background in or strong familiarity with manufacturing, defense, or government contracting environments
Track record of building headcount or labor models for new programs or capability expansions, where the output was an executable plan rather than a strategy document
Experience in customer-facing or federal program work, including interpreting a government SOW and presenting a workforce plan to a customer
A business and commercial mindset: you understand what Hadrian is signing up for when a deal closes, and you can quantify it
Strong cross-functional communication, with the ability to represent workforce realities to program and factory leadership and translate them back to institutional partners
Comfort operating where the playbook is still being written
Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Workforce Development, Public Policy, or a related field; advanced degree a plus; equivalent experience considered
What Will Set You Apart
Defense business development or proposal development experience with a workforce or labor component
Familiarity with NAVSEA, SUBSAFE, or similar regulated certification and audit frameworks
Experience standing up training programs in regulated manufacturing environments
Background in advanced or precision manufacturing
Experience with workforce development grants, government funding programs, or public-private partnerships
Familiarity with community college systems and dual-enrollment or early college program design
A genuine point of view on what manufacturing workforce development should look like for the next generation, grounded in what programs actually require rather than how it has always been done

The Role
Global Product drives manufacturing capability and platform development across Hadrian. We work externally with customers and internally with leads across Hadrian's programs, platforms, and capabilities to build our cross-company roadmap. In this role you will both set strategy and personally drive execution to ensure we deliver outcomes. This is a senior, technical role with high autonomy and accountability, reporting directly to the VP of Product and Engineering.
What You'll Do
Embed directly with customers and program teams. Spend time on the front lines of our programs to understand what it takes to make them successful. Be fluent in our full capability set so you can support program scoping and spot the gaps we'll need to bridge — then, as we contract the program, carry those requirements back so they flow to the platform and capability teams and get reflected in the roadmap.
Own and evolve the product roadmap for the company. Decide which manufacturing and platform capabilities Hadrian builds next, in what order. Program and customer needs are one input; so is proactive development to get ahead of where the company is going. These are the calls that define what Hadrian can make and for whom.
Drive delivery across the business. Make the prioritization and resourcing calls when demands compete — the trade-offs and sequencing decisions that determine what gets done and what waits. Keep every team moving toward the same result. Individual teams own execution in their domain; you own that the business delivers as a whole.
Turn process into products. This team doesn't just set strategy and ship process — it builds products to do the work. For example, Nexus, Hadrian's internal tool for planning and execution tracking.
Take new products from zero to one. With visibility across the whole business, Global Product is often first to see where a net-new product or capability needs to exist — and takes it from zero to one:, building the case, shaping what it should be, and driving it into existence.
Spot what's coming before it's escalated. Stay plugged in across teams broadly enough to spot emerging risks and opportunities before they're formally escalated — a resourcing gap forming in one area, a capability need surfacing before a program is even scoped. With visibility across the whole business, Global Product is often the first to see it coming.
What We're Looking For
Technical depth in a core domain. Real technical expertise in at least one of Hadrian's core domains — advanced manufacturing, hardware, or technology — with the range and curiosity to build genuine fluency in the others. Strength across more than one is a major signal.
Systems-level thinking. You see across competing opportunities and constraints and understand how a decision in one area creates downstream consequences in others.
Influence and organizational navigation. You build trust and credibility across teams you don't formally manage, and know when to push and when to defer. You can operate as a close peer to program, capability, and platform leads — coordinating on scope and priorities while respecting clear lane boundaries, rather than competing for the same territory.
Product taste and judgment. You have a strong instinct for what's worth building — and what isn't. You can weigh customer demand, factory-floor reality, and where the company is headed, and make the call on where to point our effort.
A bias toward driving outcomes. You set strategy and own that it lands — building the plan, running the complex cross-functional effort, and keeping commitments from slipping. You make the hard prioritization calls when demands compete and you're comfortable saying no to protect what matters most.
Comfort working directly with customers. You can sit with enterprise customers on their hardest programs, scope what it will take, and translate what you hear into what our teams need to build.
Demonstrated leadership across complex systems. A track record of leading delivery across complex hardware and software systems.
Deep mission alignment. You care about the mission and are highly motivated to rebuild America’s industrial base.

The Role:
At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between.
We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying.
If you're energized by complexity, mission-critical work, and the chance to shape the trajectory of a generational company from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you.
As our People Systems Product Manager, you'll be the architect of our People technology stack - setting the roadmap, shaping how our platforms evolve, and making the configuration and integration decisions that determine how effectively our organization runs. You'll work closely with People, Finance, and IT leadership, translating business strategy into scalable systems and turning our people data into a reliable source of truth the business can act on.
You'll drive how we leverage Rippling across every module, define where automation can replace manual processes at scale, and build the governance frameworks that keep our data clean as we grow. You'll own the vendor relationships, scope the integrations, and set the standards.
We're looking for someone who thinks in systems, operates with a high degree of ownership, and gets excited by the leverage that comes from building infrastructure that scales. If you want to build something that outlasts you and shapes how a high-growth company operates at its core - this is the role.
What You’ll Do
Own People systems end-to-end - serve as the internal product owner across all People systems and modules across our HRIS (Rippling), managing the roadmap, driving configuration decisions, and ensuring platforms scale with the business
Audit where we're under-leveraging native capabilities, surface quick wins, and build out the automation workflows that eliminate manual People processes across onboarding, offboarding, approvals, and compliance
Own our People data integrity - Build the processes and governance structures that keep our people data clean over time with repeatable standards that scale with the business
Identify where native system capabilities end and integrations are needed, scope those requirements clearly, and manage any consultants or vendors brought in to execute
Partner cross-functionally with People Operations, Recruiting, Finance, IT, and department heads to align on priorities, manage competing demands, and communicate tradeoffs in plain language
Build and maintain foundational people reporting - establish the recurring reports and dashboards that give People and leadership a reliable, accurate view of the workforce
Own and actively manage all people system vendor relationships - pushing forward our internal roadmap through platform enhancements and enablement
What We’re Looking For
6+ years owning or deeply administering an HRIS - Rippling experience strongly preferred; comparable platforms (Workday, BambooHR, HiBob) considered
Hands-on experience building workflow automations within an HRIS - not just configuring fields, but designing logic, testing edge cases, and maintaining rules at scale
A track record of owning data quality in a fast-moving environment - you've cleaned up a messy system and built processes to keep it clean
Translate business requirements - you translate complex People and business needs into clear system configuration and custom solutions
Process analysis and design - you map, document, and optimize People workflows (onboarding, payroll, performance management, etc.) and create supporting SOPs
Experience scoping integration requirements - you know enough to write a clear brief, manage a vendor, and QA the output, even if you didn't build the pipelines yourself
Strong analytical instincts - you define what a dashboard needs to answer before you build it, and you catch data problems before they become leadership problems
A bias toward action and ownership - comfortable operating independently in a hyper-growth startup environment
What Will Set You Apart
Direct Rippling implementation or re-implementation experience at a scaling company
Exposure to people analytics tools (ChartHop, Visier) or BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI)
Familiarity with APIs or data pipelines to scope engineering work and validate delivery
Experience building a people systems function during a high-growth period
Experience supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations in manufacturing, defense, or similarly complex environments

At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between.
We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying.
If you're energized by complexity, mission-critical work, and the chance to shape the trajectory of a generational company from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you.
As our People Systems Product Manager, you'll be the architect of our People technology stack - setting the roadmap, shaping how our platforms evolve, and making the configuration and integration decisions that determine how effectively our organization runs. You'll work closely with People, Finance, and IT leadership, translating business strategy into scalable systems and turning our people data into a reliable source of truth the business can act on.
You'll drive how we leverage Rippling across every module, define where automation can replace manual processes at scale, and build the governance frameworks that keep our data clean as we grow. You'll own the vendor relationships, scope the integrations, and set the standards.
We're looking for someone who thinks in systems, operates with a high degree of ownership, and gets excited by the leverage that comes from building infrastructure that scales. If you want to build something that outlasts you and shapes how a high-growth company operates at its core - this is the role.
What You’ll Do
Own People systems end-to-end - serve as the internal product owner across all People systems and modules across our HRIS (Rippling), managing the roadmap, driving configuration decisions, and ensuring platforms scale with the business
Audit where we're under-leveraging native capabilities, surface quick wins, and build out the automation workflows that eliminate manual People processes across onboarding, offboarding, approvals, and compliance
Own our People data integrity - Build the processes and governance structures that keep our people data clean over time with repeatable standards that scale with the business
Identify where native system capabilities end and integrations are needed, scope those requirements clearly, and manage any consultants or vendors brought in to execute
Partner cross-functionally with People Operations, Recruiting, Finance, IT, and department heads to align on priorities, manage competing demands, and communicate tradeoffs in plain language
Build and maintain foundational people reporting - establish the recurring reports and dashboards that give People and leadership a reliable, accurate view of the workforce
Own and actively manage all people system vendor relationships - pushing forward our internal roadmap through platform enhancements and enablement
What We’re Looking For
6+ years owning or deeply administering an HRIS - Rippling experience strongly preferred; comparable platforms (Workday, BambooHR, HiBob) considered
Hands-on experience building workflow automations within an HRIS - not just configuring fields, but designing logic, testing edge cases, and maintaining rules at scale
A track record of owning data quality in a fast-moving environment - you've cleaned up a messy system and built processes to keep it clean
Translate business requirements - you translate complex People and business needs into clear system configuration and custom solutions
Process analysis and design - you map, document, and optimize People workflows (onboarding, payroll, performance management, etc.) and create supporting SOPs
Experience scoping integration requirements - you know enough to write a clear brief, manage a vendor, and QA the output, even if you didn't build the pipelines yourself
Strong analytical instincts - you define what a dashboard needs to answer before you build it, and you catch data problems before they become leadership problems
A bias toward action and ownership - comfortable operating independently in a hyper-growth startup environment
What Will Set You Apart
Direct Rippling implementation or re-implementation experience at a scaling company
Exposure to people analytics tools (ChartHop, Visier) or BI tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI)
Familiarity with APIs or data pipelines to scope engineering work and validate delivery
Experience building a people systems function during a high-growth period
Experience supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations in manufacturing, defense, or similarly complex environments
