About The Position

Hadrian is seeking a Technical Field Engineer to be responsible for bringing new IT infrastructure to life at various sites. This role involves extensive travel and focuses on establishing IT at new locations and deploying hardware for new manufacturing lines at existing facilities. The Technical Field Engineer will collaborate with the Manager of IT Deployment on planning, scoping, and documentation, and will be hands-on with physical tasks such as racking and cabling infrastructure, deploying network and endpoint hardware, and preparing sites for production. This role also requires close partnership with the Factory Development team to align IT deployment with machinery installation and overall site construction.

Hadrian is a rapidly growing company that is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By integrating AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, Hadrian aims to accelerate the production of aerospace and defense systems. With significant funding and investor backing, Hadrian is expanding its manufacturing capabilities and scaling its Factory-as-a-Service platform.
