Senior Engineering Manager, Factory Core

The Role

Flow is Hadrian's Factory Operation System: a distributed, mission-critical software platform that coordinates how work is planned, executed, measured, and improved across many factories.

Factory Core is the part of Flow that runs the physical factory: the Manufacturing Execution System, Shop Floor experience, Inventory, and Warehouse Management. Every part Hadrian makes, moves, or ships passes through these systems, and operators on the floor depend on them every shift.

The Factory Core team is at the center of scaling Hadrian's throughput for existing and new factories. You do not need aerospace, defense, or manufacturing experience to excel in this role.

What You'll Do

• Own one or more business domains end-to-end, including product outcomes, engineering execution, and ongoing operational health.
• Hire, grow, and retain a strong team. Set a clear bar, develop careers, and address performance directly.
• Stay hands-on as a player-coach. Drive architecture and design reviews, ship code on real roadmap work, and jump into production incidents with the team.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Operations to shape the roadmap and turn business priorities into sequenced, shipped work.
• Continuously improve the developer lifecycle your team operates in: planning, design, code review, testing, deployment, on-call, and incident response.

What We're Looking For

• 2-5+ years of engineering management experience leading product engineering teams in production, with a strong full-stack engineering background before that.
• A history of owning business-critical product domains, including technical strategy, prioritization, delivery, and operational responsibility.
• Experience hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineers, and running a healthy team.
• Real product and customer instinct. You understand the product, the user, and the business, and you push your team toward the right outcomes, not just shipped work.
• A clear point of view on the developer lifecycle (planning, design, build, ship, operate) and how to make each phase better.
• Experience leading or contributing to distributed systems in production, ideally across multiple sites, environments, or regions.
• Technical credibility. You can read, review, and write production code, lead architecture discussions, and earn the trust of senior engineers.
• Strong communication. You can align engineers, product partners, operators, and leadership, drive decisions, and keep people informed.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with high stakes and short iteration cycles.
