Job Description:

Hadrian - Manufacturing the FutureHadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies make rockets, jets, and satellites 10x faster and 2x cheaper. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in .We are a lean but mighty team (and growing!) of people that are passionate about building critical infrastructure to support the nation and the advancement of humanity.To support our ambitious vision, we have raised > $200M from Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, Construct Capital, Caffeinated Capital, and more.Building CopilotCopilot is our suite of CAD/CAM automation software that is responsible for automating Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis, CAM programming, and CMM programming. We work with some of the best operators in the world to identify high impact areas to automate and/or automate with software. Our team develops software, manufacturing processes, and machine controls and we integrate with a variety of machines and robotics systems. We are responsible for designing and implementing the solutions cradle to grave. Broadly, this can be any combination of full stack web engineering, applications engineering, computational geometry, and working with a number of engineering centric APIs (documented and undocumented).In this role you will:

• Build and modify complex web services in service of large scale distributed systems and applications
• Work on computational geometry, path planning, and collision detection utilities for improving inspection automation in C++ and C#
• Write geometry primitives for feature inference and automatically linking tolerance data to feature geometries in C++ and Typescript.
• Drive product vision and long term roadmap over time by taking on responsibility for understanding part profiles, defining metrics and systematically defining improvementsAdmired skills/background:

    • Strong ability to write high quality code: You like writing high quality code in a strongly typed language. You enjoy structuring a complex solution into simple, easily digestible building blocks and are as excited to write high quality code as to have something working. A well scoped refactor of your work gives you joy.
    • Algorithmic interest: You wish your job gave you a chance to solve the types of computer science problems you got to do when working on side projects or in your algorithms or machine learning class. Needing to read a few papers on identifying the largest interior rectangle in an arbitrary polygon sounds like a great day.Compensation and BenefitsFor this role, the target salary range is $150,000 - $225,000 (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.
