About Hadrian

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

Technical Program Managers (TPMs) exist to make cross functional and cross organizational work land. A TPM owns the outcome across teams that do not report to each other, holds the dependencies nobody else is holding, and makes progress visible without pushing reporting overhead onto the teams doing the work. TPMs are not just stenographers or status chasers, but end-to-end problem solvers from discovery -> execution. As a jack or jill of all traits, TPMs get the job done no matter the hurdles in their way. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in technical program management, including several owning infrastructure programs at the scale of a domain rather than a workstream inside one
  • Hands-on experience with hardware procurement and provisioning
  • Experience driving programs end-to-end from 0 → 1. You are not just a facilitator, but a complete owner end-to-end
  • Strong written communication favoring asynchronous updates over synchronous meetings
  • Able to influence without authority across functions and teams both within and external to your domain
  • Able to balance planning with long lead times with company-wide strategic pivots
More about this role

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.

Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
