Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America by combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing to help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost. The company recently closed a $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation and is rapidly expanding its manufacturing footprint with new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, and additive manufacturing.
In this Architectural Engineer role, you will translate electrical needs of 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 serve as Hadrian's primary point of contact with 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.
Key responsibilities include: intaking electrical facility requirements from engineering and leading development of electrical scope from initial concept through construction drawings for permitting and on-site execution; strategically identifying critical path items relating to electrical design, procurement, and construction phases while managing blockers and applying first-principles thinking to recover lost time; collaborating closely with manufacturing, construction, facilities, and cross-disciplinary teams to address end-user requirements and resolve integration challenges; and participating in design reviews to translate field conditions into constructability and sequencing feedback.
This role requires someone who makes forward progress through ambiguity, takes smart calculated risks, and treats schedule and budget as real design constraints. You'll partner closely with engineering to intake requirements and turn them into a built reality on schedule and on budget. Travel up to 25% is required.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Architectural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or 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 (NEC/NFPA 70, IBC) and power distribution for industrial facilities
- Proficiency with Procore or equivalent construction management platform
- Willingness to travel up to 25%
Differentiators: 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; practical knowledge of field installation methods, means, and materials including troubleshooting constructability issues; exposure to design-for-construction or design-for-operations efforts; experience working on expedited timelines or in fast-paced industries.
