Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts. We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts. Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond. THE ROLE We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join Hadrian's Special Projects division. This role is focused on machine build, panel layouts, and industrial systems — you will own the electrical design and build of our robotic machining cells: control panel layout and build, machine wiring and harnesses, drive systems, safety circuits, and cell-level industrial power distribution. You will install and commission on the floor, not throw drawings over the wall. This is not a board-level / PCB design role — we are looking for an industrial / machine-build EE who has spent time inside real cells, panels, and control cabinets. You will partner directly with mechanical, controls, and operations engineers to take cells from clean-sheet concept through volume production, and set the industrial electrical standards the rest of the automation team inherits. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1. - Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks. - Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing. - Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell. - Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns. - Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library. - Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on + credentials. - 3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery. - Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (SolidWorks Electrical considered). - Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives. - Working knowledge of NFPA 79, UL 508A, IEC 60204-1, NFPA 70E, and ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 safety-function design. - Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them. - Comfortable reading scope / clamp-meter traces and debugging drives, ground loops, and power quality. WHAT WILL SET YOU APART - Licensed PE (Electrical) or on the PE track. - Led an arc-flash study end-to-end in SKM or EasyPower. - Built or maintained a company-wide electrical standards / panel library. - Industrial networks experience at the physical layer — EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, IO-Link. - High-energy / high-current experience (battery, welding, induction, or similar). - Experience supporting a greenfield factory power distribution build-out. COMPENSATION $140,000 – $230,000 (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. Compensation may vary based on education, qualifications, experience, location, performance, and business 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.
