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 recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission. We are excited to be launching a new Factory in Mesa, Arizona, a 270,000 square foot facility that will create 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

Hadrian works with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs. We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast-growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!

The Role

The Master Scheduler is responsible for owning and maintaining the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and serving as the central integrator between demand planning, capacity planning, and production execution. This position ensures alignment between customer demand, operational capacity, and delivery commitments in a dynamic, high-mix manufacturing environment.

• Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, the following (limit to 5 bullets):

  • Develop, maintain, and manage the Master Production Schedule (MPS) across products, programs, and production sites.

  • Translate customer demand, forecasts, and internal priorities into feasible, capacity-constrained production schedules.

  • Partner with Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, and Procurement to align labor, machine, tooling, and material capacity with production plans.

  • Monitor schedule performance, identify bottlenecks or capacity gaps, and recommend corrective actions to maintain delivery commitments.

  • Support Sales, Program Management, and Leadership through schedule analysis, scenario planning, and continuous improvement of S&OP/S&OE processes and ERP/MES data integrity.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in production scheduling, master scheduling, or manufacturing planning within a complex manufacturing environment.

• Demonstrated experience developing and managing a Master Production Schedule (MPS).

• Strong knowledge of capacity planning, constraint management, and production flow principles.

• Experience using ERP/MRP systems and scheduling tools (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Siemens, or similar platforms).

• Advanced proficiency in spreadsheet tools (e.g., Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets) and ability to perform scenario modeling and data-driven analysis.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, or other complex hardware manufacturing industries.

• Experience in high-growth or scaling manufacturing environments.

• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, Theory of Constraints (TOC), or advanced planning and scheduling methodologies.

• Experience supporting multi-site or multi-program production environments and/or working knowledge of SQL, Python, or similar analytics tools.

Compensation

For this role, the target salary range is $110,000-$150,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).

This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future. An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees

• 401k

• Relocation stipend if you’re moving from outside of the area

• Flexible vacation policy
