Senior Manager, Facilities Infrastructure

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. 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 we scale to support the rapid expansion of U.S. aerospace manufacturing, we're standing up a new high-throughput factory that will be the largest in our footprint to date — a 2M+ sqft site with complex manufacturing operations including welding, sheet metal, assembly, and precision machining, supported by industrial-scale facility systems. We're looking for a hands-on Senior Manager, Facilities Infrastructure to be one of the first leaders on the ground and the operations-side owner of the building from construction handoff through stabilized production. You will serve as the primary point of contact for the general contractor during construction, drive system commissioning and turnover, and then run the site's facilities and maintenance organization once the factory comes online. In this role you will operate as the site lead within a multi-site function. You'll bring proactive maintenance and world-class facility reliability to a building of unprecedented scale for the company, treating production as your customer and uptime as the product. You will build and lead the founding facilities and maintenance team, partner closely with Production, Engineering, and Quality, and own the relationships with the vendors and OEMs that keep the building running. If you're excited to build the systems that power American industrial resurgence — and to do it from the slab up — we'd love to meet you.
