Workforce Systems Engineer

About this role

Hadrian seeks a Workforce Systems Engineer to architect and scale the training infrastructure that supports rapid factory expansion in aerospace and defense manufacturing. You'll design standardized training programs, documentation frameworks, and skills management systems that enable hundreds of technicians to work safely and effectively across multiple locations.

What you'll do

• Design foundational standards for training programs, documentation, skills data, and LMS content as new manufacturing capabilities launch
• Lead end-to-end training program development using systems engineering principles, from requirements definition through production deployment
• Manage the intake lifecycle for new capabilities across skills matrices, LMS platforms, OJT content, and competency evaluations
• Collaborate with operations and engineering teams to translate role-specific competencies into repeatable, measurable training programs
• Establish and enforce consistent documentation and system standards across all factory locations to enable scalable growth
• Monitor Capability OS health, identify gaps and inconsistencies, and partner with product managers to drive software improvements

What they're looking for

• Systems engineering and program design
• Training program development and instructional design
• Manufacturing process documentation and standards
• LMS platforms and e-learning tools (Articulate Rise, SCORM)
• Cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management
• Quality and regulated environment compliance (AS9100, ISO 9001)
• Technical writing and communication
• Skills matrix and competency management

Benefits

• Opportunity to build systems from scratch in a fast-growing aerospace/defense manufacturer
• Direct impact on workforce development across multiple new factory locations
• Backed by top-tier investors (Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, T. Rowe Price)
• Role in reindustrializing American manufacturing at scale
• Mentorship and leadership opportunities within growing Workforce Systems team

Likely interview questions

• Describe a time you built a system or standard from the ground up in a manufacturing or technical environment. How did you ensure adoption across teams?
• Walk us through how you would approach designing training standards for a new manufacturing capability you've never encountered before.
