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
As Head of Qualification, you will be the technical lead for Hadrian's part qualification work for our defense customers, including Department of War and U.S. Army programs. Our customers come to us with legacy sustainment parts that have incomplete or outdated technical data or no reliable supply source, and they need those parts qualified to be produced again to support the warfighter. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Engineering degree (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or similar) and significant hands-on design or manufacturing engineering experience, including recent work you did yourself
- A track record of engineering decisions that held up when challenged by another engineering organization, such as a customer, prime, or government authority
- Experience with technical data packages, drawings and GD&T, military specifications, and defense quality requirements (e.g., AS9100, FAI, source inspection)
- Someone capable of thriving in a fast-paced startup environment, but who understands and can push through the DOW’s typical pace of work
- Customer-facing or program management experience is a plus, but not a substitute for technical depth
- Prior military service or civilian DoW experience is a plus
