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. The factories-as-a-service team analyzes our current customers' production and supply chain challenges, builds data-driven presentations, designs and scopes factories of the future, and assists the Federal and Strategic sales team in forming long-term partnerships with the DOD, Primes, and other manufacturers. This team is responsible for scoping, design, cost, schedule, and technology analysis, as well as proposals for major programs and manufacturing transformations across all manufacturing methods and domains.
Job Responsibility:
Design structural and mechanical forge tooling for ferrous and non-ferrous aerospace components and assemblies for the complete suite of forging processes
Collaborate with engineers and vendors to source/build, and deploy forge tooling systems
Interface with technicians to validate, install, and optimize forge tooling usage
Conduct FEA, flow simulations, and die stress analyses to validate designs
Document technical specifications, usage guides, and safety procedures
Drive testing, validation, and iteration of forge tooling solutions
Lead efforts to commission custom production forge tooling and machinery
Support automated forge tooling integration in collaboration with controls engineers, for the exchange of perishable tooling and changeover
Use hand calculations and analytical techniques to guide design
Ensure all systems comply with OSHA and critical lifting requirements
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Aerospace, Physics, or a related STEM field
5+ years in a forging production system environment with emphasis on rate production optimization, tool life improvement, and defect prevention
Strong understanding of the various forge manufacturing processes and first principles of bulk deformation for ferrous and non-ferrous products
Experience in designing forge tooling systems for complex and high production parts and their integration with larger assemblies and downstream operations
Ability to contribute to both prototyping and continuous improvement efforts
Demonstrated ability to perform FEA and die stress analysis to validate forge tooling under real-world conditions with proficiency in 3D modeling and simulation tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, ANSYS, DEFORM, Forge, Q-Form, or related software)
Knowledge of tool steel selection, fabrication, heat treatment, and assembly techniques suitable for high-load and high-temperature environments
Knowledge of material behavior for hot bulk forming processes, such as upsetting and extrusion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
