Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future
Hadrian builds software-defined high-precision component factories for the top aerospace companies in the world. We are in search of individuals with the drive to augment manufacturing, helping enable our engineers to build complex, yet elegant software as well as machinists who have a passion for pushing the trade forward.
THE IDEAL ENTRY-LEVEL MANUFACTURING POSITION
This is a job for someone passionate about space or curious about making things for a living but without much experience. We have a structured training process with gradual exposure to increasingly challenging technical stations. As you progress through our skills matrix, we will continuously invest in your training & education.
Women and others from under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
WHAT YOUR FIRST YEAR WILL LOOK LIKE
New technicians are assigned to our Central Operations team, which covers managing all work before and after the machining process. Central Operations has different 5 different stations. You will be learn one of them through on the job training :
- Material Receiving & Prep : receive and transact raw metal; cut to size using an automated bandsaw and basic metrology tools
- Tool Building : assemble and dis-assemble machine tools, work with pre-setters and ensure the correct angles and measurements
- Part-Marking : use different machines and techniques (laser, epoxy, ink) to serialize machined parts
- Shipping & Receiving : send out parts and manage visual inspection of parts back from outside processing
- Rework : employ manual techniques to perform small modifications on parts so that they fit customer requirements
At the same time, we train technicians off the job on our in-house metrology training, which unlocks the ability to work in our quality department. This course teaches usage of basic hand tools, aerospace blueprint interpretation, and visual inspection basics. Together with performing in a station, this combo will prepare you for a career in our fast-paced and rigorous production environment.
Success for your first year hinges on your ability to own your station, demonstrate proactiveness and a sense of urgency when dealing with issues, and learn how to communicate with other technicians, programmers, and engineers. We also expect high performing technicians to train at their station as a preparation for additional leadership challenges.
We do not guarantee rotation within post processing or to other production teams for your first year, but we are fast growing and expect to provide significant opportunities to high performing technicians that have proven their ability to be technical and cultural leaders in their first year.
