People Ops Analyst

Hadrian Automation • Los Angeles, CA

115d • $95,000 - $150,000

About The Position

At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing. Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between. We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying. If you're energized by complexity, mission-critical work, and the chance to shape the trajectory of a generational company from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you. We are looking for a People Ops analyst who can play a critical role in enabling data-driven decision-making across Hadrian’s People function. In this role, you'll partner closely with HR, Talent, Finance and executive leadership to deliver insights that improve how we hire, develop, engage, and retain talent across a complex and rapidly scaling organization. You will lead the development of dashboards, reporting frameworks, and workforce analyses that surface trends, inform strategy, and ensure compliance — all while working to continuously improve the quality and integrity of our People data. This role sits at the intersection of analytics, systems, and business strategy, and will require both technical skill and a strong understanding of the unique dynamics of supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations in a hyper-growth environment.
