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’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond
The Role
The CMM Programmer (PC-DMIS) will play a critical role in advancing Hadrian’s automated inspection capabilities. You will program and optimize PC-DMIS routines for highly complex prismatic parts for the aerospace and defense industries, ensuring precision and reliability in our New Product Integration (NPI) and production workflows.
Unlike traditional shops, the programs you create will run on fully automated CMM cells designed to operate lights-out. This means your work must incorporate robust programming practices and controls to ensure reliability. You’ll also collaborate with our software automation teams, who have engineer layered controls to safeguard and standardize the programming approach.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of CMM automation and help shape the future of metrology in aerospace manufacturing
What You'll Do
Create and optimize PC-DMIS programs for New Product Integration (NPI) work orders
Interpret and apply GD&T requirements from engineering drawings; identify and resolve discrepancies
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (CMM technicians, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, CAM programmers) to drive inspection excellence
Design fixtures to support automated inspection
Troubleshoot PC-DMIS programs and improve Hadrian’s internal specifications
Support prove-outs of highly complex geometries with custom probes and setups
Partner with software teams to identify and implement process improvements
What We’re Looking For
High school diploma or equivalent
2+ years of experience as a PC-DMIS programmer
2+ years of experience interpreting engineering drawings
Experience working in a machine shop with knowledge of metrology for subtractive manufacturing processes
What Will Set You Apart
PC-DMIS training (101, 201, or beyond)
Strong understanding of GD&T, datum structures, and tolerances (form, orientation, location, profile, runout)
CAD software experience (NX preferred)
Background as a machinist or exposure to 5-axis machining environments
PC-DMIS API / VB scripting expertise
Familiarity with automated inspection processes and integration of customer specifications
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $83,000- $189,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.
