Engineering Manager, Materials Test

Test Engineering is a brand new team at Hadrian! As Engineering Manager, Materials Test, you'll build and lead our materials testing capability, working without the constraints of a legacy test framework. You'll run the flagship materials test lab at our Los Angeles HQ and lead the engineers and technicians who work in it.

Our welding, casting, forging, and additive teams all depend on this lab for the data behind their process decisions. Welding has the first needs, and the other teams are growing fast. You'll choose the equipment, set how we collect and store data, and decide how the lab balances work across all of those teams. Once the flagship lab is running, you'll turn it into a package we can stand up at any of our factories on short notice.

There is very little existing structure around materials testing at Hadrian. If you want to build a lab from an empty floor, lead a team through it, and own the outcome, this role is for you.
