Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies make rockets, jets, and satellites 10x faster and 2x cheaper. We use AI and Robotics to automate and scale factories that are globally cost competitive and future-proof from the dramatic skilled labor shortage that is facing the Advanced Industrial Base. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in this video.

Hadrian works with startups, Primes and Tier 1/2s in all markets to cost-down, scale or otherwise enable them to hit production rates on critical programs in Rocketry, Satellites, Shipbuilding, Commercial and Military aircraft and other core, mission critical industries.

We are a lean but mighty team (and growing!) people that are passionate about building critical infrastructure to support the nation and the advancement of humanity.

We've raised >$200m to achieve this vision, with multiple rounds from Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, Construct Capital, Caffeinated Capital and more.

Joining the People Team @ Hadrian

At Hadrian, we’re not just building autonomous factories — we’re building the teams, systems, and culture that will power the future of aerospace and defense manufacturing. As we scale, the People team plays a critical role in shaping how we attract, enable, and retain world-class talent across both engineering and advanced manufacturing.

Working on the People team at Hadrian means designing and operationalizing the foundation of a company that blends cutting-edge robotics, AI, and precision manufacturing — while supporting a workforce that spans software engineers, machinists, program managers, and everything in between.

We’re looking for builders: thoughtful, action-oriented team members who care deeply about people, process, and performance — and who want to help create a company culture that’s as strong as the infrastructure we’re deploying.

If you're energized by complexity, mission-critical work, and the chance to shape the trajectory of a generational company from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

We are looking for a People Ops analyst who can play a critical role in enabling data-driven decision-making across Hadrian’s People function. In this role, you'll partner closely with HR, Talent, Finance and executive leadership to deliver insights that improve how we hire, develop, engage, and retain talent across a complex and rapidly scaling organization.

You will lead the development of dashboards, reporting frameworks, and workforce analyses that surface trends, inform strategy, and ensure compliance — all while working to continuously improve the quality and integrity of our People data. This role sits at the intersection of analytics, systems, and business strategy, and will require both technical skill and a strong understanding of the unique dynamics of supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations in a hyper-growth environment.

Responsibilities (include but are not limited to):

• Design and deliver dashboards, recurring reports, and ad hoc analyses that provide actionable insights into workforce trends (e.g., headcount, attrition, performance, engagement, compensation)

• Partner with leaders across People, Talent, Finance, and leadership to support key decisions with data-driven insights

• Ensure the accuracy, consistency, and structure of People data across systems (HRIS, ATS, LMS, survey platforms, etc.)

• Identify opportunities to improve data collection methodologies, governance, and automation across the People tech stack

• Support the preparation of People data for compliance reporting, board materials, and workforce planning

• Translate complex data into simple, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences

• Serve as a subject matter expert on workforce analytics, proactively surfacing insights that inform strategy and drive action

Requirements:

• 4–6+ years of experience in People Analytics, HRIS, Business Intelligence, or a related analytical role

• Strong command of HR data systems and tools like Rippling, Ashby, Lattice and other tools

• Demonstrated ability to work with sensitive data with discretion and high integrity

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present insights clearly to stakeholders at all levels

Admired Skills:

• Experience supporting both exempt and non-exempt populations in manufacturing, defense, or similarly complex environments

• Familiarity with compliance-heavy data needs

• Advanced skills in Excel/Google Sheets, and experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI)

Compensation and Benefits

For this role, the target salary range is $95,000 - $150,000 (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. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

In addition to salary and equity, we offer:

• 100% coverage of platinum medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

• 401k

• Relocation stipend if you’re moving from outside of LA

• Discretionary vacation policy
