Hadrian Automation Manufacturing Engineer supporting welding development by designing tooling, parts, and fixtures, and bridging weld development with production. The role involves hands-on work both in design and on the shop floor.
Responsibilities
Hadrian's welding team is building out our weld development center and is looking for dedicated mechanical engineering support. As an R&D Engineer supporting welding, you'll work side by side with welding engineers and welders in a development environment to design tooling, parts/coupons, and fixtures, support equipment buys and setup, and close the gap between weld development and production. This is a hands-on, in-person role split between design and the shop floor, not a design-desk-only position.
Support welding equipment needs for weld development, including CAD support for buying and setting up new equipment
Develop concepts for automation, tooling, fixtures, and development parts
Work directly with welding engineers and welders to weld actual parts in a development setting
Bridge the gap between automation, tooling, and welding by translating development needs into tooled-up, automatable processes
Coordinate across Build, Software, Tooling, Automation, and NDT to keep weld development unblocked
Qualification
