CMM Programmer

Hadrian is building autonomous factories to reindustrialize America. By combining AI, advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we help aerospace and defense companies build rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, and other mission-critical systems up to 10x faster and at significantly lower cost.

The CMM Programmer (PC-DMIS) will play a critical role in advancing Hadrian’s automated inspection capabilities. You will program and optimize PC-DMIS routines for highly complex prismatic parts for the aerospace and defense industries, ensuring precision and reliability in our New Product Integration (NPI) and production workflows.

Unlike traditional shops, the programs you create will run on fully automated CMM cells designed to operate lights-out. This means your work must incorporate robust programming practices and controls to ensure reliability. You’ll also collaborate with our software automation teams, who have engineer layered controls to safeguard and standardize the programming approach.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of CMM automation and help shape the future of metrology in aerospace manufacturing
