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.
Weâre 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.
The Role:
As a Data Analyst, you will own the analytical foundation that the entire company runs on. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Data & IT, you will define what "certified data" means at Hadrian, build the forecasting models that drive planning decisions, and set the standards that let analytics scale across 20+ autonomous factories. This role sits at the intersection of every business functionâFinance, Manufacturing Ops, Production Planning, Quality Engineering, and Salesâconnecting financial models to factory floor reality.
What You'll Do
Architect and maintain the certified dataset layer in dbtâmodels, tests, documentation, and SLAs that the entire company trusts
Build forecasting models for demand planning, capacity utilization, delivery risk, and financial projections
Define metric standards: canonical definitions, calculation logic, ownership, and refresh cadence
Perform cross-functional deep dives connecting financial and operational data (e.g., margin erosion vs. throughput changes)
Build scalable reporting frameworks that work at 1 factory and 20
Develop anomaly detection for manufacturing KPIsâsurface problems before ops does
Present findings to executives, ops leaders, and finance with appropriate precision
Mentor BizOps analysts and junior team members on SQL, statistics, and communication
Partner with Data Engineering on pipeline architecture, data contracts, and quality SLAs
What We're Looking For
Expert SQL including complex window functions, recursive CTEs, query plan analysis, and cost-based optimization
Deep dbt knowledge including advanced macros, custom tests, package development, and CI/CD integration
Experience with Snowflake and/or ClickHouse at scale
Python proficiency (pandas, numpy, scipy, statsmodels)
Statistical rigor: hypothesis testing, regression, time series, and experimental design
Ability to build, validate, and communicate forecast models with proper uncertainty quantification
Strong cross-functional communicationâcan translate between data and business with any audience
Bachelor's or Master's in Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, or equivalent
P3: 2â4 years | P4: 4â7 years | P5: 7+ years in analytics, data science, or quantitative roles
What Will Set You Apart
Experience building metric layers (Transform, MetricFlow, or custom)
ClickHouse optimization (materialized views, projections, TTL)
Bayesian methods or causal inference experience
Manufacturing-specific knowledge: SPC, control charts, process capability
Orchestration experience (Dagster, Airflow)
Background in OR, industrial engineering, logistics, supply chain, or quantitative finance
