Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will develop and refine assembly processes, fixturing, and tooling to transition the pilot battery pack assembly line into a repeatable production environment. This involves hands-on work with cell joining, thermal management, and electrical testing while ensuring safety and quality standards are met.
Candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field and possess at least 2 years of manufacturing or process engineering experience. Proficiency in precision joining processes and the ability to work in a hands-on, fast-paced production environment are required.
Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Hadrian is expanding our battery pack assembly team and is looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to help bring our pilot battery pack assembly line from concept to a working, repeatable, and safe production line. This is a hands-on role. Working alongside the Battery Pack Engineering Lead and a small team of specialists, you'll develop and refine the processes, fixturing, and tooling that turn cells into qualified packs. You'll get deep exposure to pack and module assembly, cell joining, thermal management, test, and safety, with room to grow your ownership as the line scales.
Develop, document, and improve assembly processes across the pilot line: cell intake and sorting/matching, module and pack build sequence, busbar and interconnect assembly, thermal interface application, enclosure, and potting/sealing
Support cell joining process development (laser / ultrasonic / resistance welding), including weld parameter development, qualification builds, and in-process verification
Design and build fixturing, stations, and tooling for the pilot line, with an eye toward eventual automation on Hadrian's robotics and software platform
Write and maintain clear work instructions, process control plans, and standard work for assembly operations
Support electrical test, formation, and characterization processes, and help define and execute pack-level acceptance testing
Implement cell-level traceability and lot control on the line, partnering with Quality on inspection plans and nonconformance dispositions
Run root cause and corrective action on process issues, yield losses, and equipment problems; drive improvements to yield, throughput, and cost
Support battery safety practices on the floor, including safe handling procedures, thermal runaway mitigation measures, and compliance testing activities (e.g., UN 38.3 transport)
Partner cross-functionally with design (mechanical/electrical/thermal), automation/controls, supply chain, quality/qualification, and program teams to move the line toward production readiness
Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field
2+ years of manufacturing or process engineering experience, ideally with hands-on exposure to battery pack or module assembly, energy storage, or another electro-mechanical assembly environment
Working knowledge of at least one cell joining or precision joining process (laser, ultrasonic, or resistance welding, or comparable processes)
Experience developing fixturing, tooling, or work instructions for assembly operations
Comfort working on the production floor: building, testing, breaking, and fixing things yourself
Strong problem-solving fundamentals, including structured root cause analysis and data-driven process improvement
Ability to operate with limited direction in a fast-moving, ambiguous, build-it-now environment
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) per ITAR; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
Direct battery pack or module assembly experience, especially in aerospace, defense, UAS, eVTOL, EV, or other safety-critical applications
Hands-on weld development experience for tabs and busbars, including weld qualification and destructive/non-destructive evaluation
Familiarity with battery safety standards and testing (UN 38.3, UL/IEC, abuse testing)
Experience with electrical test, formation, or pack characterization
Exposure to automation, robotics, or designing processes for high-rate production
Experience with traceability systems, MES, or lot control in a regulated or quality-driven environment
Experience in a high-growth or startup manufacturing environment
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
