## About the role

Hadrian's welding team is building out our weld development center and is looking for dedicated mechanical engineering support. As an R&D Engineer supporting welding, you'll work side by side with welding engineers and welders in a development environment to design tooling, parts/coupons, and fixtures, support equipment buys and setup, and close the gap between weld development and production. This is a hands-on, in-person role split between design and the shop floor, not a design-desk-only position. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
- 2+ years of experience in manufacturing or mechanical design
- Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent) and working knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis
- Comfort with shop-floor tooling, fixtures, and metrology
- Exposure to machining, assembly, welding, additive, and inspection processes
