Hadrian Automation, Inc
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 recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!
The Role
Every part of our company relies on robust security and effective systems - from day-to-day factory operations to supply chain integrations, resource scheduling, hardware data security, and compliance with industry standards. In this role, you will be a critical member of our security organization, responsible for designing, deploying, and maintaining secure systems, networks, and platforms to protect critical infrastructure and ensure compliance.
You will be challenged to think strategically and solve complex security and compliance challenges. You will work cross-functionally with IT specialists, software engineers, and production teams to develop innovative solutions that safeguard our operations and drive toward secure, fully automated factories.
What You'll Do Configure, monitor, and manage Security Logging Infrastructure. Administer and manage IAM systems, including Active Directory, Azure AD, and Okta, ensuring proper implementation of SSO, MFA, and RBAC. Deploy and manage endpoint protection systems (e.g., EDR/XDR), ensuring secure configuration across factory endpoints, remote devices, and cloud environments. Conduct vulnerability assessments, implement patch management processes, and monitor for threats using SIEM and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Splunk, Nessus). Configure, monitor, and maintain PKI infrastructure and certificate management systems (e.g., NDES/SCEP). Lead security analysis, identifying and mitigating risks in network, software, and SaaS configurations. Maintain and enforce compliance requirements for NIST 800-171, CMMC, and ITAR, including completing SSPs and POAMs. Collaborate with IT and DevOps teams to integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments. Document security processes, configurations, and incident response procedures, maintaining an up-to-date inventory of security systems. Provide Tier 3 support for security-related issues, working with vendors to resolve complex security incidents. Analyze system performance, identify vulnerabilities, and develop solutions to improve resilience and mitigate threats. Deploy and maintain secure SaaS configurations, ensuring adherence to security best practices and compliance standards. Educate and train employees on secure practices, policies, and advanced security tools. Design, deploy, and maintain network security policies across on-premises and cloud environments (e.g., firewalls, VPCs, NAC, and VPN configurations). What We're Looking For
Expertise in
Zero Trust Architecture
design and implementation. Advanced knowledge of
container security
for Kubernetes (e.g., Kyverno, OPA, Sysdig Secure). Experience building automated

principles in AWS and Kubernetes. Proficiency with advanced
forensics tools
(e.g., Velociraptor, Autopsy, Volatility). Deep familiarity with
hardware security
for embedded systems and IoT devices. Experience conducting
penetration testing
and red team exercises. Strong grasp of
secure coding practices
and application security fundamentals. Proven ability to architect scalable, automated
compliance monitoring
systems. Strong mentorship capabilities to
train and develop
security skills across teams. What Will Set You Apart
Experience managing
logging infrastructure. Proficient in
Detection Engineering . Proficient in managing
IAM systems

endpoint protection
tools like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Familiarity with
SIEM platforms
(e.g., Splunk, Datadog, Microsoft Sentinel) and vulnerability management tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys). Have knowledge of
network security technologies : IDS/IPS, NAC, and secure network segmentation. Experienced with
compliance frameworks
such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, and ITAR, including SSP and POAM development. Proficient in
secrets management
and certificate infrastructure (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, NDES, PKI). Familiar with
DevSecOps practices , including integrating security controls into CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments. Experienced with
infrastructure automation
using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and GitOps workflows. Familiar with
SaaS security
best practices and tools, ensuring proper hardening and secure integration. Capable of documenting security architectures, incident response plans, and system configurations for team knowledge sharing. Effective at analyzing complex security issues and proposing scalable, resilient solutions. Passionate about securing systems that drive real-world outcomes in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. A highly effective communicator who can convey technical security information to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experienced with
firewall administration
(PANOS, JUNOS) and VPN configuration in cloud and on-prem environments. Able to work from our
Los Angeles Factory (Torrance) . Compensation
