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.
As a Recruiter, you’ll play a pivotal role in scaling our talent across a broad range of disciplines. From software engineers and hardware specialists to operations professionals and executive leaders, you’ll work on high-impact roles that shape the future of our company and the industry.

If you’re excited about building diverse, high-performance teams across functions and levels, this is the role for you.
You’ll be joining a growing Talent team that is deeply collaborative, mission-driven, and passionate about building at scale. We believe great hiring is a team effort, and we operate with transparency, urgency, and empathy. Our team supports a rapidly expanding organization and partners closely with leadership to shape hiring strategy, candidate experience, and employer brand.
We are looking for multiple Recruiters:
Software Recruiter - Owns hiring for engineers and technical talent that power Hadrian’s software and automation systems

Develop creative sourcing strategies to build diverse, high-quality pipelines

Lead efficient and scalable interview processes, balancing speed with quality
Leverage data to track recruiting performance, identify bottlenecks, and inform decisions
Contribute to strategic initiatives including employer branding, talent market mapping, DEI efforts, and recruiting operations
Act as a trusted thought partner to stakeholders across the company, influencing hiring decisions with clarity and insight
You have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple functions or domains
You’re energized by variety and thrive in environments where no two roles are the same
You’re a strong communicator who can build trust with hiring managers and candidates alike
You are data-literate, process-oriented, and relentless about improving the craft of recruiting
You approach recruiting with curiosity, resilience, and a bias for action
You care deeply about candidate experience and team dynamics
Bonus: Experience hiring in technical, manufacturing, or early-stage startup environments
