CAM Programmer

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.

We recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

The Role

As a CAM Programmer, you will have direct responsibility for producing CAM packages and CNC Programs for highly complex, close-tolerance components. You will play a critical role within the company, sitting at the intersection of manufacturing and software R&D. This role is instrumental in developing and testing the technologies that will move the manufacturing industry forward and truly shape the future of manufacturing.

Responsibilities include generating precise CNC programs that align with our programming standards, directly contributing to the success of your teammates within CAM Operations by producing highly reliable, well-executed CAM files and efficient programs at a rapid pace.

The ideal candidate will possess an analytical mindset, viewing challenges as opportunities for improvement and innovation. They will systematically address and solve these challenges while contributing to Hadrian's knowledge base, covering tooling, application processes, work holding design, and manufacturing methodologies. Additionally, they should enrich our culture through proactive communication, teamwork, and carry themselves with the utmost integrity.

What You'll Do

CAM Program and Component Process Deployment:

• Generate CAM files with detailed manufacturing intent, strictly adhering to Hadrian's design principles

• Craft clear, comprehensive work instruction documents suitable for all skill levels, specifically designed to empower individuals with minimal experience in machine tool setups to achieve success.

Internal Product Development:

• Be flexible working with ever-changing technology

• Improve internal automation software by providing feedback, identifying application process gaps, trends, and problems.

• Report factory bugs and general workflow issues as you encounter them, placing the utmost importance on promptly communicating issues or challenges that arise daily. No matter how small they are perceived to be.

CAM Process Optimization through Internal Feedback Integration:

• Actively seek out and incorporate feedback from team members and technical staff to boost productivity and refine machining programs and overall CAM process procedures.

• Create repeatable output across the production of hundreds of units, utilizing partner teams’ feedback in the pursuit of continuous improvement opportunities.

• Rigorously identify gaps and communicate these findings to CAM Process Designers for integration or revision

Fixture Design and CAD Modeling:

• Design and model 3D fixtures conforming to Hadrian’s fixture design standards with the Siemens NX CAD platform. Embrace advanced fixture design processes (e.g., 3-2-1 locating, Poka-Yoke error-proofing, equation-driven design) for creating efficient and robust fixtures.

• Adhere to industry-standard CAD design-tree practices and follow internally developed workflows

Software Proficiency:

• Operate efficiently within the hyper
  
  MILL and NX environments, utilizing best practices while…
