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.

The Role:

Hadrian is looking for a Software Engineer Intern to join the team building the software backbone of our autonomous factory. You'll work alongside experienced engineers on real production systems from internal tooling and data pipelines to the software that powers factory operations and customer-facing workflows. This is a hands-on role where your code will ship, and your contributions will directly impact how Hadrian scales.

What You'll Do

Build and improve internal tools, dashboards, and automation systems that support factory operations

Contribute to backend services, APIs, and data pipelines used across engineering, operations, and quality teams

Help design and implement features that improve visibility into production workflows, capacity, and program status

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including operations, program management, and quality to understand requirements and deliver software solutions

Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews

Surface technical risks and contribute to architectural discussions

What We're Looking For

Current university student pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field, with an expected graduation date between December 2026 and June 2027

Proficiency in one or more programming languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, or similar)

Familiarity with backend development, APIs, or data engineering

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work through ambiguous technical challenges

Clear written and verbal communication

Strong attention to detail and follow-through

Excitement for manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or industrial systems

Comfortable working in a fast-moving, highly ambiguous environment

Willingness to work on-site in Los Angeles, CA

What Will Set You Apart

Prior internship or project experience shipping production software

Interest in manufacturing systems, automation, or industrial software

What You'll Gain

Hands-on experience building software for a high-growth, mission-driven industrial company

Direct involvement in real production systems, not just internal tools or side projects

A front-row seat to how Hadrian is transforming aerospace and defense manufacturing through software, automation, and data

Compensation

For this role, the target hourly range is $46.15 - $50.71

This reflects the lowest to highest hourly rate we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this intern position at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range is subject to change. An intern's hourly rate within this range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to relevant education, prior experience, skills, geographic location, and the nature of the internship assignment.
