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!

Maintenance Specialists are Hadrian's rapid deployment force for installs, commissioning, and uptime across machines, robots, and site infrastructure across our factories. You will rig, place, level, anchor, connect, and commission CNC and robotic equipment, then take ownership of preventive and corrective maintenance to keep everything safe, reliable and available. The role spans full‑stack facilities systems – electrical distribution, compressed air, vacuum, process cooling, HVAC, general utilities, and more – demanding both broad technical range and thoughtful judgment.

As Factory 3 scales, you’ll establish maintenance routines for new equipment and workflows, iterating quickly to support the business and eventually maintaining world class execution when Factory is in operation. You operate as a trusted individual contributor on the Facilities Infrastructure team, executing its mission and contributing to outcomes that amplify the team’s collective impact.

• Install, rig, and commission equipment: Receive, uncrate, rig, set, level, anchor, and align CNC machines, robots, and ancillary systems; complete utilities tie‑ins (power, air, coolant, data), run prove‑out checklists, and hand over to production.

• Robotics and automation readiness: Cable robots, mount end of arm tools, install safety fencing, and wire electrical cabinets; perform dry‑runs and basic I/O checks with controls teams; capture punch‑lists and close items before release.

• Facilities maintenance (full scope): Inspect, service, and repair HVAC, compressed air, process cooling, vacuum, water, and general building systems; coordinate OEM vendors as needed and verify work quality.

• Uptime and troubleshooting: Respond quickly to breakdowns, isolate root causes across electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and fluid systems, and restore operation safely.

• Develop maintenance routines: Author PM checklists, torque maps, lubrication charts, calibration and metrology checks, and critical spares lists for new or unique F3 equipment; adjust intervals based on data.

• Stand up maintenance management discipline: Create assets, parts, and BOMs; log work orders with clear failure codes and repair notes; keep history complete for audits.

• Utilities and shop readiness: Lay out drops for power/air/coolant; install conduit and piping within qualifications; keep the floor safe, clean, and inspection‑ready.

• Contractor and OEM coordination: Escort and supervise vendors, verify scope, ensure LOTO and permits are followed, and accept work against specs.

• Safety and compliance: Apply LOTO, NFPA 70E, and machine‑guarding standards; close EHS findings on time and maintain an incident‑free record.

• Partner and elevate: Work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the Director of Facilities…
