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 a Tooling Engineer on the Welding team, you will design and build the fixtures and tooling that let us weld complex aerospace, defense, and naval parts accurately and repeatably. You will take each tool from concept and CAD through fabrication, prove-out, and daily use on the floor, working side by side with welding engineers, welders, and our automation team. The role is based at our weld development facility in Los Angeles and covers both manual welding and robotic weld cells. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Welding Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience, with 4+ years designing tooling in a manufacturing environment
- Experience designing weld fixtures or tooling, or a combined background in both welding and tooling design
- Track record of taking tools from CAD into production and supporting them through prove-out and continuous improvement
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or CATIA) and GD&T, plus FEA or static analysis to validate tooling under real-world conditions
- Working knowledge of welding processes, weld distortion, and material selection for tooling exposed to high heat and high loads
