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.

Recruit, mentor, and scale a high-caliber accounting organization capable of supporting institutional growth

What We're Looking For

12+ years of progressive accounting leadership, with significant exposure to manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or infrastructure-heavy environments

Hands-on experience managing external audits and navigating complex audit environments

Deep expertise in inventory, cost accounting, and supply-chain-driven financial models

Strong command of ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent Tier-1 platform), with experience optimizing finance and manufacturing integrations

Proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain high-performing accounting teams

Comfortable working cross-functionally with manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams
