About the role

Hadrian is seeking a Head of Qualification to own and scale how parts get qualified for production across defense programs. You will oversee the end-to-end pipeline, from intake to source approval, and manage a team of PQMs and engineers to deliver production-ready data and TDPs. You will define scope, drive workflow automation, and serve as the primary customer interface, ensuring throughput and data confidence while building a high-performing qualification organization.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
