Hadrian is rebuilding America’s industrial strength, rapidly scaling our country’s manufacturing output through advanced software, automation, and human skill. Backed by a16z, Founders Fund and Lux.
About the role
Hadrian is looking for a Build Engineer, Large Scale Machining to own how our largest machined parts get made, including castings, forgings, plate weldments, and hull-scale structures. You will own each part from the first design review through qualification, ramp, and handoff to standard production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience in build, manufacturing, or production engineering with direct ownership of large machined parts (roughly 2 m and up, castings, forgings, or heavy weldments) from requirements through production
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Experience interpreting and defining product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract quality clauses, and translating them into build requirements
- Strong GD&T and tolerance-stack skills across multi-setup parts, with a proven datum strategy
- Working knowledge of large-format machining (horizontal boring mills, gantry and bridge mills, large 5-axis machining centers, and VTLs) and large-part metrology, deep enough to drive DFM and set the build flow
- Experience reverse engineering parts or assemblies from incomplete technical data, legacy drawings, or physical parts
