Recruiter

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.

The Role

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.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. You’ll be embedded in a fast-paced, technical environment where agility, resourcefulness, and deep partnership with hiring managers are key. 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.
