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 recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

The Role

Maintenance Specialists are Hadrian's rapid deployment force for installs, commissioning, and uptime across machines, robots, and site infrastructure across our factories. You will rig, place, level, anchor, connect, and commission CNC and robotic equipment, then take ownership of preventive and corrective maintenance to keep everything safe, reliable and available. The role spans full-stack facilities systems -- electrical distribution, compressed air, vacuum, process cooling, HVAC, general utilities, and more -- demanding both broad technical range and thoughtful judgment. As Factory 3 scales, you’ll establish maintenance routines for new equipment and workflows, iterating quickly to support the business and eventually maintaining world class execution when Factory is in operation. You operate as a trusted individual contributor on the Facilities Infrastructure team, executing its mission and contributing to outcomes that amplify the team’s collective impact.

What You'll Do

• Install, rig, and commission equipment: Receive, uncrate, rig, set, level, anchor, and align CNC machines, robots, and ancillary systems; complete utilities tie-ins (power, air, coolant, data), run prove-out checklists, and hand over to production.

• Robotics and automation readiness: Cable robots, mount end of arm tools, install safety fencing, and wire electrical cabinets; perform dry-runs and basic I/O checks with controls teams; capture punch-lists and close items before release.

• Facilities maintenance (full scope): Inspect, service, and repair HVAC, compressed air, process cooling, vacuum, water, and general building systems; coordinate OEM vendors as needed and verify work quality.

• Uptime and troubleshooting: Respond quickly to breakdowns, isolate root causes across electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and fluid systems, and restore operation safely.

• Develop maintenance routines: Author PM checklists, torque maps, lubrication charts, calibration and metrology checks, and critical spares lists for new or unique F3 equipment; adjust intervals based on data.

• Stand up maintenance management discipline: Create assets, parts, and BOMs; log work orders with clear failure codes and repair notes; keep history complete for audits.

• Utilities and shop readiness: Lay out drops for power/air/coolant; install conduit and piping within qualifications; keep the floor safe, clean, and inspection-ready.

• Contractor and OEM coordination: Escort and supervise vendors, verify scope, ensure LOTO and permits are followed, and accept work against specs.

• Safety and compliance: Apply LOTO, NFPA 70E, and machine-guarding standards; close EHS findings on time and maintain an incident-free record.

• Partner and escalate: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Director of Facilities Infrastructure and Special Projects to sequence installs, plan outages, and communicate risks; escalate when timelines or safety are at risk.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience performing mechanical and electrical maintenance on CNC machines and robotics equipment.

• Ability to learn quickly, leveraging self-discovery and external training resources as needed.

• Comfortable rigging and moving heavy equipment using forklifts, cranes, skates, and proper rigging hardware; strong safety judgment.

• Clear communicator who can coordinate vendors and collaborate with engineers, operations; able to work off-shift or on-call during critical installs.

What Will Set You Apart

• Demonstrated experience installing and commissioning CNC machines, industrial robots, and associated automation in a live production environment.

• Broad facilities skill set across electrical (high- and low-voltage), mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and HVAC systems; able to read schematics.

• Hands-on troubleshooting of drives, servos, PLC-adjacent I/O, sensors, VFDs, coolant and chip systems.

• Maintenance system literacy for work orders, parts, and preventive plans; disciplined documentation habits

Compensation

For this role, the target pay range is $23/hr - $46/hr (actual range may vary based on experience).

This is the lowest to highest pay 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

• 100% coverage of platinum medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

• 401k

• Relocation stipend if you’re moving from outside of AZ

• Flexible vacation policy
