Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America by combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing for aerospace and defense companies. The company helps customers build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost. Following a $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding manufacturing capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more.
The CAM Execution role is a hybrid Process Engineering position operating at the intersection of CAM programming and manufacturing execution. You will be responsible for diagnosing, troubleshooting, and resolving failures across the full manufacturing process, ensuring that programmed intent translates into reliable, repeatable production outcomes.
Key responsibilities include:
- Root Cause Analysis: Diagnose and correct failures across CNC programs, machine setups, inspection workflows, and operator execution. Analyze CMM data, validate against customer specifications and GD&T requirements, inspect fixtures, and verify machine processes. Implement solutions that are repeatable, simple, and production-stable.
- CAM-to-Manufacturing Interface: Bridge the gap between CAM programming and shop-floor execution. Refine toolpaths, setups, and machining strategies based on real-world machine behavior, material response, and inspection feedback.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with CAM Programming, Quality, CMM Programming, Applications, Automation, and Go-To-Market teams to develop informed and aligned process solutions.
- System Improvement: Identify systemic weaknesses in the manufacturing process and drive improvements across the factory. Standardize solutions, eliminate recurring issues, and increase overall process robustness.
This is a process ownership role focused on end-to-end manufacturing stability, working across CNC programs, machine setups, fixturing, CMM inspection, GD&T interpretation, and operator workflows.
REQUIREMENTS:
- High-level problem-solving ability: decompose complex, multi-variable manufacturing issues and converge on root cause quickly; implement effective solutions in high-complexity environments
- Strong background in developing, programming, setting up, and troubleshooting part manufacturing processes
- Experience with CNC programming software, CAD modeling tools, and general computing environments
- Clear and effective written and verbal communication; ability to collaborate across teams and convey technical information accurately
- Deep understanding of machining and/or inspection processes; ability to teach, guide, and share knowledge with others in a production environment
DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience with 5-axis milling machines
- Experience with hyperMILL, NX, Heidenhain, Fanuc
- Strong GD&T and print reading capability
- CMM programming and inspection experience
- Hands-on machine setup and operation
- Systems engineering or process standardization experience
ITAR REQUIREMENT: Must be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
