Technical Field Engineer

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.

Hadrian is scaling fast, standing up new factories and expanding existing ones across the country. We’re looking for a Technical Field Engineer to be the person on the ground who brings new IT infrastructure to life. This is a hands‑on, travel‑heavy role focused on standing up IT at new sites and deploying hardware for new manufacturing lines at existing facilities.

Early in each project you’ll work closely with the Manager of IT Deployment on planning, scoping, and documentation. As projects move to execution, you’ll be on‑site doing the physical work: racking and cabling infrastructure, deploying network and endpoint hardware, and getting sites production‑ready. You’ll partner with the central IT, infrastructure, network, security, and helpdesk teams throughout.

You’ll also work side by side with the Factory Development team, who own the manufacturing machinery and the construction of the site itself. Both teams are on the ground together to stand up new factories and add machinery to existing ones, so aligning IT deployment with machine installation and the overall buildout is central to the role.

• Partner with the Manager of IT Deployment on project planning, scoping, and requirements for new sites and line expansions
• Build and maintain deployment documentation: runbooks, network diagrams, rack elevations, and asset records
• Document as‑built conditions and keep site records accurate as the build progresses
• Work with architects and designers to ensure any changes or modifications are captured and documented as part of the process
• Develop repeatable deployment playbooks so each site launch is faster and more consistent than the last
• Track project status, timelines, and materials, and flag risks early

• Travel to new and existing factories to stand up IT infrastructure and deploy hardware
• Rack, cable, and configure network gear (switches, WAPs, firewalls) and supporting infrastructure
• Deploy and configure endpoints, peripherals, and shop‑floor devices for new manufacturing lines
• Work with vendors to deploy and support physical security systems (cameras, badge/access readers, sensors), AV and conference room systems, and office IoT devices such as printers
• Partner with Factory Development on‑site to align IT deployment with machinery installation and the overall factory buildout
• Bring sites online: validate connectivity, wireless coverage, and core services to production‑ready
• Provide hands‑on support during go‑live, then hand off cleanly to the local or central IT team
