About the role
Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts. We’re accelerating our mission with the launch of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot facility creating 350 new jobs. We are expanding rapidly to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to expand into naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts. Hadrian is backed by leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast-growing team is united around reindustrializing American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond. The Role Hadrian is building the most advanced manufacturing platform in the world, and Workforce Development is the team responsible for ensuring our people can keep pace with it. At the center of that work is a system of documentation, skills tracking, and compliance content that the entire training program depends on. Without it, technicians cannot be trained, certified, or production-ready at the pace Hadrian requires. Workforce Systems is the central function within Workforce Development responsible for unlocking new capabilities and enabling scale across Hadrian's factories. As the pace and complexity of that work grows, we are looking for a Workforce Systems Specialist to own the execution that keeps it all running. We need someone who takes pride in accuracy and consistency, can translate raw capability knowledge into structured content across multiple systems, and understands that the work they produce has a direct impact on what happens on the factory floor. What You'll Do Capability Knowledge Coding: Take raw capability information and structure it into the systems the workforce depends on, including skills matrix entries, standard documentation, written evaluations, and compliance course assignments. Content Revisioning: Manage the revision process for existing documentation and system content as processes change, ensuring updates follow WFD revision control standards and are published accurately across all relevant systems. New Process Documentation: Collaborate with Training Specialists and SMEs to understand new processes and develop accompanying documentation once a process has been cleared for technician handoff. Trainee Handbooks: Collaborate with Training Specialists and SMEs to identify foundational knowledge requirements for each role and develop trainee handbooks that introduce key concepts. Documentation Maintenance: Audit, reformat, and maintain training documentation across all active stations to ensure content meets current WFD standards. Publish approved documentation and manage access requests to maintain audit compliance. Skills Matrix Administration: Enter, maintain, and update skills data and organizational requirements within the skills matrix platform based on defined processes and structures. LMS Administration: Maintain existing compliance courses, enter and edit data as needed, and build e-learning content for compliance-related topics. System Hygiene: Ensure documentation spaces, skills data, and certification records are consistently accurate, well-organized, and ready for internal and external audits. What We're Looking For Attention to detail: you catch errors, inconsistencies, and gaps before they become problems. You understand that accuracy in documentation and systems data directly affects training quality and audit outcomes. Knowledge translation: you can take raw or unstructured information from an SME, engineer, or governance team and convert it into clear, structured content across multiple systems. Revision control: you treat documentation as a controlled asset. You manage updates through the proper process, ensure nothing is published outside of approved standards, and keep content accurate as things change. Systems literacy: you pick up new tools quickly and work within multiple platforms with discipline, regardless of the specific system. Organization: you can manage a queue of documentation requests, content builds, and administrative tasks without dropping items or losing track of status. Communication: you can work with SMEs, Training Leads, and other partners to gather information, clarify requirements, and close open loops without needing heavy direction. What Will Set You Apart Background in technical writing, instructional design, or LMS administration in a manufacturing, engineering, or regulated environment Experience working with raw process data or engineering documentation as source material for training content Familiarity with skills matrix platforms or structured competency frameworks Experience in a role where documentation accuracy and version control were non-negotiable A manufacturing or engineering background with a genuine interest in how knowledge gets structured and transferred Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO documentation standards Benefits Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees 401k Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
