Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, jets, and satellites 10 times faster and 2 times cheaper. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in this video.
We are a lean yet mighty team (and growing!) of individuals who are passionate about building critical infrastructure to support the nation and advance humanity.
Hadrian works with startups, Primes, and Tier 1/2s in all markets to cost-down, scale, or otherwise enable them to achieve production rates on critical programs in Rocketry, Satellites, Shipbuilding, Commercial, and Military aircraft, as well as other core, mission-critical industries.
The Role
We are seeking a Project Manager to collaborate with the Director of Program Management in accelerating the execution of critical initiatives. This role focuses on developing systems, tools, and operational processes to enable the rapid stand-up and execution of new programs.
Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, the following:
Coordinate project activities, monitor execution, and manage key milestones across Special Projects. Develop and maintain dashboards, reports, and tools to assess program health, risks, and resource use. Facilitate operational routines, including sprint planning and risk tracking. Support scalable program management infrastructure, playbooks, and alignment frameworks. Collaborate cross-functionally to remove barriers, resolve issues, and ensure on-time deliverables.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree required; a technical or advanced degree is a plus. Demonstrated experience in project management, operations, or execution roles in fast-paced environments. Strong organizational and coordination skills, managing complex, cross-functional projects. Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and project tracking platforms (e.g., Airtable). Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work across varied teams. Engage with external vendors, suppliers, and partners to track deliverables, support procurement efforts, and maintain alignment on technical and schedule requirements.
What Will Set You Apart
Background in hard tech, defense, aerospace, manufacturing, or industrial programs. Experience in consulting or in roles focused on program management and operations. Familiarity with complex, technical environments requiring hands-on coordination. Ability to manage both strategic and tactical tasks in evolving settings. Experience supporting or coordinating within technical production environments such as CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or automated fabrication processes. Exposure to scaling hardware, production, or manufacturing teams, particularly in mission-critical or high-complexity programs. Comfort navigating both physical infrastructure and operational readiness topics alongside software or automation teams. Prior experience working with external vendors, suppliers, or technical partners to support project execution, procurement, and hardware readiness.
