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.
In this role, you’ll translate the electrical needs of our production equipment into real, permitted, built facilities. You’ll shape early power and electrical requirements driven by equipment selection and operational flow, inform site selection, and lead electrical schematic design through to construction. You’ll be Hadrian’s primary point of contact with our external Architect and General Contractor partners communicating requirements, driving coordination between disciplines, reviewing and verifying drawings, and resolving electrical design issues before they reach the field.
This is a role for someone who makes forward progress through ambiguity, takes smart calculated risks, and treats schedule and budget as real design constraints. Ultimately, you’ll partner closely with engineering to intake requirements and turn them into a built reality on schedule and on budget.
Electrical Requirements Partnership: Intake electrical facility requirements from engineering, often driven by production equipment selection and operational flow. Lead the development of the electrical scope simultaneously, from initial concept evaluations to the completion of construction drawings for permitting and on-site execution, ensuring a smooth translation from design to real-world field conditions.
Schedule & Problem Solving: Strategically identify critical path items relating to the electrical design, procurement, and construction phases. Manage the critical path and any blockers. Apply first-principles thinking to recover lost time and protect delivery milestones.
Design Collaboration: Collaborate closely with manufacturing, construction, facilities, and cross-disciplinary teams to address end-user requirements, resolve integration challenges, and coordinate electrical systems against architectural, structural, and mechanical designs so everything stays compatible with the design intent.
Design Feedback: Participate in design reviews for current and future phases. Translate field conditions into constructability and sequencing feedback before they become costly problems.
Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Professional licensure (PE preferred), or clear progress toward it.
5+ years of experience in electrical facility or building-systems design.
Experience designing for new manufacturing or production facilities, ideally in environments with engineering and production complexity comparable to Hadrian’s.
Working knowledge of electrical codes and standards (e.g., NEC/NFPA 70, IBC) and power distribution for industrial facilities.
Proficiency with Procore or an equivalent construction management platform.
Willingness to travel up to 25%.
Experience in highly regulated or high-consequence industries (nuclear, energy, aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing).
Excellent interpersonal skills for interfacing with diverse engineering disciplines, stakeholders, and external partners to foster collaborative problem-solving.
Practical knowledge of field installation methods, means, and materials, including troubleshooting real-world constructability issues and adapting designs for on-site efficiency.
Exposure to design-for-construction or design-for-operations efforts.
Experience working on expedited timelines or in fast-paced industries.
For this role, the target salary range is $106,000 - $181,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
