AI in this role
Manage the execution phase of capital equipment sourcing, delivery schedules, and logistics for autonomous manufacturing facilities.
Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.
Following our $1.37B Series D at a $7.87B valuation, Hadrian is rapidly expanding our manufacturing footprint, launching new capabilities across welding, casting, forging, electronics, additive manufacturing, and more, while scaling our Factory-as-a-Service platform to transform how critical products are built.
Backed by leading investors including JPMorgan Chase, Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, 137 Ventures, Lux Capital, T. Rowe Price, and Morgan Stanley, we’re building the future of American manufacturing—and looking for exceptional people to help make it happen.
If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
The Role:
As our Capex Supply Manager, you'll own the execution phase of Hadrian's capital equipment sourcing process. From the moment a machine or piece of equipment is purchased, you own getting it here and installed on time — driving the delivery schedule, managing third-party logistics, coordinating suppliers, and keeping leadership and cross-functional partners aligned. Capital equipment is the pacing item for standing up new factory capacity, so your work directly determines how fast Hadrian can bring new capabilities online.
What You’ll Do
Own the equipment delivery schedule across all active capital equipment purchases, from order to installation.
Manage third-party logistics providers for equipment freight, shipping, and receiving.
Communicate schedule status, risks, and changes clearly to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Collaborate with internal stakeholders to define, align on, and lock schedule requirements.
Work with suppliers to ensure they meet Hadrian's equipment delivery and installation requirements.
What We’re Looking For
Proven project management experience owning schedules end to end, ideally for physical goods or equipment.
Excellent communicator who keeps stakeholders and leadership informed and aligned.
Highly detail-oriented, with strong accuracy in tracking dates, dependencies, and commitments.
Structured problem solver who stays calm and drives resolution when plans slip.
Ability to operate autonomously and coordinate suppliers and logistics without day-to-day oversight.
What Will Set You Apart
Experience with capital equipment or machine tools in aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing.
Familiarity with ERP/MES and procurement/PO systems.
Hands-on experience with international freight, customs, and equipment install/rigging coordination.
Track record thriving in a fast-scaling, high-growth manufacturing environment.
Compensation
For this role, the target salary range is $97,000 - $145,000 (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. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future.
