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.
Valued at $1.6B, 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.
Join Us in Advancing Metal Casting Systems
We are building advanced casting capabilities by integrating melt control, mold design, pouring systems, and post-processing into a unified manufacturing environment. From sand system preparation through melt, pour, solidification, and finishing, we treat casting as a fully coupled thermodynamic and fluid flow system.
We are solving complex challenges in solidification control, defect reduction, yield optimization, and scalable production. This requires engineers with deep expertise in foundry processes, metallurgy, and casting system design.This is a general opportunity to engage casting engineers with specialized experience across key process areas.
Core Specialty Areas
Mold & Core Systems: Blow/shoot molds and cores, cope/drag/runner box systems, corebox tooling, 3D sand printing, chemically bonded sand systems
Sand & Material Systems: Sand reclaim and conditioning, coating/dry processes, cure/bake operations
Melt & Pouring Operations: Furnace operations, melt planning by material family, melt routes (e.g., MEAF, MIF, MINF, MIHRA), automated pouring systems
Casting Design & Simulation: Gating and riser design, solidification modeling, casting simulation
Cooling & Shakeout: Cooling control, shakeout processes
Finishing & Post-Processing: Automated clean & grind, straightening, surface treatment, coating
Inspection & Quality: Dimensional inspection (CMM, 3D scanning), non-destructive testing (NDT), metallurgical lab analysis
Repair & Secondary Operations: Automated weld repair, adaptive machining, assembly
What You’ll Do
Develop, qualify, and optimize casting processes for yield, quality, and repeatability
Control critical variables (pour temperature, cooling rates, solidification behavior, mold conditions) to minimize defects
Design and refine gating, riser, and feeding systems to ensure proper material flow and solidification
Partner with manufacturing, quality, and materials teams to scale stable foundry operations
Lead root cause analysis for defects such as porosity, shrinkage, inclusions, and distortion
What We’re Looking For
Degree in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on foundry experience
Demonstrated expertise in casting processes (sand casting, investment casting, or similar)
Strong understanding of solidification physics, phase transformations, and defect mechanisms
Ability to interpret technical drawings and casting specifications
Experience in production environments with a focus on yield and process control
What Will Set You Apart
Experience across the full casting lifecycle (mold → melt → pour → cooling → finishing → inspection)
Familiarity with casting simulation tools and data-driven process optimization
Strong metallurgical background with lab and failure analysis experience
Experience in aerospace, defense, or other high-spec casting applications
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
