The Role: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.
What You'll Do- 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
What We're Looking For- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
- 2+ years of experience in manufacturing or mechanical design
- Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or equivalent) and working knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis
- Comfort with shop-floor tooling, fixtures, and metrology
- Exposure to machining, assembly, welding, additive, and inspection processes
What Will Set You Apart- Prior hands-on welding or weld process experience
- Experience designing tooling or fixtures for automated or robotic welding cells
- Familiarity with manufacturing processes and requirements
- A track record of thriving in an undefined, first-of-its-kind role
Benefits for Full-time Employees- Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
401k - Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
- Flexible vacation policy
- Equity
