Hadron Energy, Inc.
Industrial Engineer – Hadron Energy
Hadron Energy specializes in Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) development, design, and research based in the San Francisco Bay Area. As the leading MMR developer, we are building factory‑produced, transportable microreactors that provide 24/7 carbon‑free power for data centers, government facilities, industrial sites, and remote communities. Our mission is to create a brighter, healthier, and more equitable energy future.
This is a full‑time on‑site role for an Industrial Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The position is ideal for candidates with strong process optimization, manufacturing systems, and operations design experience who are passionate about scaling advanced energy technology from prototype to production.
Responsibilities
Design and optimize manufacturing and assembly processes for Hadron’s modular reactor components and systems
Develop production line layouts, tooling requirements, and resource plans to enable scalable factory operations
Conduct time, motion, and cost studies to improve throughput, reduce waste, and enhance overall efficiency
Collaborate with design and mechanical engineers to ensure products are optimized for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA)
Create process documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and work instructions for production teams
Support facility planning and workflow design, including logistics, material handling, and supply‑chain interfaces
Implement Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies to streamline operations
Monitor and analyze production performance metrics; identify and resolve bottlenecks or process deviations
Support capital equipment selection and justification for manufacturing expansion projects
Partner with Quality and Procurement teams to ensure vendor processes and materials meet production standards
Contribute to the establishment of a digital manufacturing ecosystem integrating ERP, MES, and automation tools
Qualifications & Skillsets
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering
5+ years of experience in manufacturing process design, factory planning, or production engineering
Proven track record implementing Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or Kaizen initiatives
Experience with CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or equivalent) and process modeling software
Strong analytical and quantitative skills for process optimization and cost analysis
Knowledge of supply chain logistics, production scheduling, and ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, or NetSuite)
Familiarity with ASME, ISO 9001, or other quality management systems
Excellent communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills
Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, startup environment while managing multiple priorities
Passion for innovation, clean energy, and industrial‑scale engineering that drives real‑world impact
Base Pay Range $150,000.00/yr – $200,000.00/yr
Additional Compensation Types Annual Bonus and Stock options
Seniority Level Mid‑Senior level
Employment Type Full‑time
Job Function Manufacturing, Engineering, and Design
