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 looking for a hands-on Director of Facilities Infrastructure to build and lead a world-class facilities and maintenance organization. This role is responsible for all maintenance operations across our growing footprint of high-throughput aerospace factories — ensuring equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and driving uptime across hundreds of CNC machines and other critical infrastructure. You’ll be responsible for both strategic planning and tactical execution, building a proactive maintenance culture that acts as a customer service engine to our production teams. Hadrian’s next production facility opens at the end of 2025 with 120+ machine tools — and this role will be foundational in supporting that scale.
Job Responsibility:
Build and lead a high-performing, strategic, multi-site maintenance team
Own maintenance strategy across all factories: including preventative maintenance and long-range asset planning
Establish clear KPIs and accountability for uptime, responsiveness, and PM execution
Define headcount and budget planning for maintenance and facilities functions
Instill a strong customer-service mindset and culture of urgency within the team
Implement and standardize preventative maintenance (PM) programs across all sites, using real-time data
Monitor asset performance, schedule maintenance, and analyze trends for predictive maintenance opportunities
Partner with production and workforce development teams to standardize common maintenance/error response activities and embed in the production technician workflow
Own communication and escalation protocols for equipment downtime
Create structured communication cadences, including daily check-ins with site teams, weekly maintenance status updates, and monthly KPI reporting to leadership
Lead root cause analysis and corrective action plans to address recurring equipment failures
Continuously analyze downtime data to drive process and equipment improvements
Collaborate closely with Production, Engineering, and Quality teams to align maintenance with operational priorities
Build strategic relationships with service providers and OEMs to reduce response times and parts lead times
Negotiate service contracts and lead critical spares planning to control cost
Contribute to capital planning — including asset lifecycle, upgrades, and tooling needs
Ensure all maintenance activities meet aerospace and safety regulatory requirements
Identify and implement process improvements that improve uptime and reduce cost
Own safety outcomes and audit readiness for maintenance and facility-related activities.
Requirements:
5+ years of leadership experience in manufacturing maintenance or facilities operations
Track record of scaling high-performing technical teams
Strong understanding of CNC machinery, mechanical systems, and automation controls
Experience in highly regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, or medical devices
Hands-on approach to problem-solving, communication, and collaboration
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, or a related technical field
