Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The R&D Technician will support new capability introduction by operating and troubleshooting factory equipment such as laser cutters and welders. They will also partner with engineers to document process parameters and setup steps for new manufacturing builds.
Candidates must have hands-on experience in laser cutting, welding, soldering, or water jet operation within an R&D or NPI environment. Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to document complex technical processes are essential for this role.
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.
As an R&D Technician at Hadrian, you'll be on the front line of standing up new manufacturing capability at our FX facility, bringing new machines and processes online in direct support of multiple concurrent manufacturing programs. You'll work hands-on across laser cutting, resistance welding, hand soldering, water jet operation, and general assembly, partnering closely with engineers to develop and validate new processes before they move to steady-state production. We're hiring across a range of experience levels, so whether you're early in your career or a seasoned NPI technician, there's a seat for you on this team.
Support development activities tied to new capability introduction at FX, including laser cutting, resistance welding, hand soldering, water jet operation, and general assembly.
Operate, troubleshoot, and help bring online new equipment as it's landed on the factory floor.
Partner with process and manufacturing engineers to iterate on new processes and NPI builds.
Document setup, process parameters, and key learnings to support eventual handoff to production.
Cross-train across capability areas as the FX R&D Technician team consolidates and grows.
Hands-on experience in one or more of: laser cutting, resistance/spot welding, hand soldering, or water jet operation.
Comfort operating in an ambiguous, fast-moving R&D or NPI environment where processes aren't fully defined yet.
Strong troubleshooting instincts and a bias toward figuring things out on the shop floor.
Ability to clearly document setup steps and process parameters for others to follow.
Willingness to cross-train into new processes and tools as capability needs shift.
R&D experience at SpaceX or a similar company working on NPI programs (e.g., Starship), including hand laser welding, spot welding, laser cutting, or robot operations.
Experience supporting multiple concurrent programs with shifting priorities.
Familiarity with hand-held laser welders and general assembly work in addition to core joining/cutting processes.
A track record of helping less experienced technicians ramp up on new equipment.
For this role, the target salary 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.
