Director, Technical Data Modernization

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

You start with a small team of engineers and specialists who define the process. Headcount rises quickly as the migration ramps and more programs come on, and the team is expected to divide into separate groups.

• Conversion Engineers. Define the process, work with the software team on the automation, and check the work.

• Conversion Specialists. Convert technical data packages using Hadrian's software, and check the output.

• CAD Modelers. Build 3D models from 2D drawings when no model exists, for programs across Hadrian.
  

• Built and ran a high-volume technical operation, such as production, engineering services, or drawing conversion, and grew it to 50 or more people.

• Hired and trained people quickly, and kept them engaged in repetitive work.

• Runs an operation on throughput and quality data.

• 3+ years leading other leaders.

• Enough engineering-drawing depth to own the quality bar, including GD&T and model-based definition.

• You raise problems early and make decisions without waiting for full consensus.

• Engineering or STEM degree, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  

• Built a team from the ground up at a startup or a fast-growing company.

• Ran a large legacy-to-modern technical data or PLM migration, including the team and its throughput.

• Worked alongside a software team to automate a manual engineering process.

• Teamcenter or CATIA experience.

• Naval, submarine, or federal technical data program experience.
