Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

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.

If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join Hadrian's Special Projects division. This role is focused on machine build, panel layouts, and industrial systems — you will own the electrical design and build of our robotic machining cells: control panel layout and build, machine wiring and harnesses, drive systems, safety circuits, and cell-level industrial power distribution. You will install and commission on the floor, not throw drawings over the wall.

This is not a board-level / PCB design role — we are looking for an industrial / machine-build EE who has spent time inside real cells, panels, and control cabinets.

You will partner directly with mechanical, controls, and operations engineers to take cells from clean-sheet concept through volume production, and set the industrial electrical standards the rest of the automation team inherits.

• Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1.

• Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks.

• Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing.

• Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell.

• Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns.

• Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library.

• Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause.

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on + credentials.

• 3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery.

• Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (Solid Works Electrical considered).

• Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives.

• Working knowledge of NFPA 79, UL 508A, IEC 60204-1, NFPA 70E, and ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 safety-function design.

• Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them.

• Comfortable reading scope / clamp-meter traces and debugging drives, ground loops, and power quality.

• Licensed PE (Electrical) or on the PE track.

• Led an arc-flash study end-to-end in SKM or Easy Power.

• Built or maintained a company-wide electrical standards / panel library.

• Industrial networks experience at the physical layer — EtherCAT, Ether Net/IP, Profinet, IO-Link.

• High-energy / high-current experience…
