Build Engineer, Large Scale Machining at Hadrian Automation · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Hadrian is looking for a Build Engineer, Large Scale Machining to own how our largest machined parts get made, including castings, forgings, plate weldments, and hull-scale structures. You will own each part from the first design review through qualification, ramp, and handoff to standard production. You are the bridge between the product and Capability Engineering: you interpret the product requirements, drive DFM, establish the build flow and sequence, and hand Capability Engineering a well-defined machining problem to solve.
This role sits on the Build Engineering Commodities team alongside sheet metal and tube and pipe. It is hands-on. You will be at the machine for first parts, and you will own the outcome.
Interpret and define product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract requirements, and translate them into machining requirements, critical characteristics, and inspection needs.
Reverse engineer parts and assemblies where technical data is incomplete or legacy, to establish design intent, critical features, and a buildable sequence.
Review models and drawings for machinability at scale, including casting stock allowance, datum structure, tolerance stack across setups, tool and probe access, and distortion risk, and drive changes before design freeze.
Own the end-to-end machining route (rough, stress relief, semi-finish, finish, and inspection), including handoffs to weld, cladding, and assembly.
Set the setup count, where datums are established and carried forward, and where match-machining with mating assemblies is required.
Define the high-level process for each operation (envelope, critical features, material condition, cycle time against rate, and inspection approach) and hand it to Capability Engineering complete and on time.
Define lift points, handling, and part flow through the factory so rigging and logistics can plan around the part.
Own design intent for large-part fixtures, workholding, lift fixtures, and inspection aids, partnering with Tooling Engineering on detailed design and build.
Provide setup sheets, datum schemes, and critical-feature intent to CNC Programming.
Build and maintain BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems, and own engineering change and configuration control as the design matures.
