IT Site Lead

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 building a new precision manufacturing facility as part of the Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas. We're looking for an Site Lead to own the buildout, day-to-day tech operations and serve as the face of Hadrian tech for the entire site. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll manage endpoints, support manufacturing technicians and engineering staff, maintain local infrastructure, serve as the point person for day-2 vendors, and help visiting employees from other sites resolve issues while they're on-site.

When fully operational you’ll support manufacturing technicians in the use of Hadrian’s proprietary AI platform Opus. You’ll act as a bridge between the customer and product providing valuable feedback directly from the factory floor to help further refine and develop the platform.

As a remote extension of the central tech team, you'll also contribute to overall Helpdesk operations by supporting other Hadrian employees through Jira Service Management and co-managing the company's suite of SaaS tools.

You’ll report to the Manager of Tech Deployment and work closely with a central team covering IT, infrastructure, cybersecurity, network, and helpdesk across all Hadrian sites.

• Interface with Army IT personnel and other Army facility staff to maintain facilities related to IT operations.

• Work with the Manager of IT Deployment to support the IT buildout of the RRAD facility in partnership with the Factory Development and central IT teams
• Coordinate with facilities and construction on-site during construction to confirm electrical and low-voltage vendors are building infrastructure correctly, and provide regular status updates
• Manage the logistics; receive, stage, and deploy infrastructure, endpoint hardware, and peripherals

• Enforce Hadrian's security tooling and policies on-site: EDR, MDM, and IAM
• Support CMMC Level 2 compliance requirements for CUI handling at the facility
• Coordinate with central IT and Info Sec on incidents, vulnerability remediation, and compliance reviews
