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

The CMM Programmer (PC-DMIS) will play a critical role in advancing Hadrian's automated inspection capabilities. You will program and optimize PC-DMIS routines for highly complex prismatic parts for the aerospace and defense industries, ensuring precision and reliability in our New Product Integration (NPI) and production workflows.

Unlike traditional shops, the programs you create will run on fully automated CMM cells designed to operate lights-out. This means your work must incorporate robust programming practices and controls to ensure reliability. You'll also collaborate with our software automation teams, who have engineer layered controls to safeguard and standardize the programming approach.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of CMM automation and help shape the future of metrology in aerospace manufacturing

What You'll Do

Create and optimize PC-DMIS programs for New Product Integration (NPI) work orders

Interpret and apply GD&T requirements from engineering drawings; identify and resolve discrepancies

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (CMM technicians, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, CAM programmers) to drive inspection excellence

Design fixtures to support automated inspection

Troubleshoot PC-DMIS programs and improve Hadrian's internal specifications

Support prove-outs of highly complex geometries with custom probes and setups

Partner with software teams to identify and implement process improvements

What We're Looking For

High school diploma or equivalent

2+ years of experience as a PC-DMIS programmer

2+ years of experience interpreting engineering drawings

Experience working in a machine shop with knowledge of metrology for subtractive manufacturing processes

What Will Set You Apart

PC-DMIS training (101, 201, or beyond)

Strong understanding of GD&T, datum structures, and tolerances (form, orientation, location, profile, runout)

CAD software experience (NX preferred)

Background as a machinist or exposure to 5-axis machining environments

PC-DMIS API / VB scripting expertise

Familiarity with automated inspection processes and integration of customer specifications

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is $83,000- $164,000 (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.
