Software Engineer, Machine Interfaces

Job description

# **Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future** 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. **The Role** We are looking to add a curious, self-motivated engineer to Hadrian’s Autonomous Factory Systems division. This role focuses on developing software interfaces for industrial machinery that mills, welds, forms and more. The Autonomous Factory Systems team builds the software that gives Hadrian’s factories the ability to sense, decide, and act autonomously. This includes the core robotics stack, orchestration between robots and manufacturing machines, and the hardware abstraction layer that connects our software to the machines on the floor. As part of this team, you will partner with robotics, mechanical, and controls engineers to bring advanced production systems from concept to operation. You will help execute our roadmap to scale Hadrian into a multi-factory company across the US. **What You’ll Do** - Develop software to interface with industrial machines, PLCs, and other manufacturing equipment. - Create human-machine interfaces that enable technicians to control and monitor automation on industrial machines. - Ensure seamless software integration of automated manufacturing systems into Hadrian factories. - Build data logging pipelines for connected devices that feed operational planning and factory scheduling. - Collaborate with robotics, engineering, and operations teams to conceptualize, deploy, and upgrade manufacturing cells. **What We’re Looking For** - A minimum of 4-6 years of software engineering experience - Proficient in Python, TypeScript, or C#. - Strong ability and desire to work directly with hardware on the factory floor. - Demonstrated ability to make decisions with incomplete information and deliver complex systems on schedule. - Flexibility to travel up to 10% of the year as Hadrian scales across the country. **What Will Set You Apart** - Experience developing software to interface with physical systems in a field such as manufacturing, industrial automation, or 3D printing. - Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA, Profinet). - Hands-on experience with one or more of the following: - electronics or embedded systems - low-level networking, TCP/IP, and socket programming - building systems for real-time, safety-critical, or hardware-integrated environments - hardware-in-the-loop testing or simulation systems **Compensation** For this role, the target salary range is **$200,000** - **$250,000** (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. ## Benefits for Full-time Employees - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees - 401k - Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need. - Flexible vacation policy - Equity ## ITAR Requirements To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
