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.

Get to build alongside an incredible team of Fullstack engineers, Artificial Intelligence engineers, operators, and the best machinists/CAM programmers in the world
Write clean, well-tested code across the stack and participate in code reviews
Surface technical risks and contribute to architectural discussions
What We're Looking For
Recent graduate with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related field
Proficiency in one or more languages or frameworks across the stack (TypeScript, React, Python, Go, or similar)
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work through ambiguous technical challenges
Clear written and verbal communication and strong attention to detail
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, highly ambiguous environment
Willingness to work on-site in Los Angeles, CA
What Will Set You Apart
Prior internship or project experience shipping production software across the frontend and backend
Mechanical Engineering experience or some familiarity with CAD/manufacturing part drawings
Experience working with Machine Learning, dataset training, or Computer Vision technologies
Interest in manufacturing systems, automation, or industrial software
