If you’re ready to take on the most challenging and rewarding work of your career while helping create American manufacturing jobs for generations to come, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.

About the Role

Hadrian is building a new precision manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama. We're looking for an IT Engineer to assist in day-to-day IT operations at F4 and serve as the face of IT for the entire site. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll manage endpoints, support facility employees and production staff, maintain local infrastructure, serve as the point person for day-2 vendors, and help visiting employees from other sites resolve issues while they're on-site.

You'll report to our IT Manager and work closely with a central team covering infrastructure, cybersecurity, network, and systems functions across all Hadrian sites.

What You'll Do

Site Operations

Own all on-site IT support for facility employees and production staff

Manage device lifecycle using Hadrian's asset management and MDM tools

Manage your ticket queue in Jira Service Management and drive issues to resolution

Maintain local network and infrastructure health; escalate to central infrastructure teams as needed

Serve as the on-call escalation point for F4 on-site support needs; local team headcount is expected to grow as the facility scales

Construction Support

Support the IT buildout of the F4 facility in partnership with the Factory Deployment IT Lead and central IT teams

Coordinate with facilities and construction on-site during construction to confirm electrical and low-voltage vendors are placing infrastructure correctly, and provide regular status updates

Receive, stage, and deploy endpoint hardware, peripherals, and AV/conferencing equipment

Onboarding, Offboarding, and Staffing

Own IT onboarding and offboarding for all employees at the site: hardware setup/retrieval, account provisioning/deprovisioning, access grants, and Day 1 readiness

Serve as the on-site point of contact for IT questions and walkthroughs for new hires

Hire, train, and lead a local IT team as the facility scales

Security and Compliance

Enforce Hadrian's security tooling and policies on-site: EDR, MDM, and IAM

Support CMMC Level 2 compliance requirements for CUI handling at the facility

Coordinate with central IT and InfoSec on incidents, vulnerability remediation, and compliance reviews

Vendor and Asset Management

Manage local vendor relationships, hardware maintenance contracts, and ISP coordination

Maintain accurate asset inventory for all on-site IT equipment

Manage shipping and receiving of IT and infrastructure materials (switches, WAPs, and similar equipment)

What We're Looking For

High degree of independence and accountability - this role works without a local IT manager to lean on, and needs to be self-reliant, self-driven, and proactive rather than reactive

High degree of ownership - drives issues to resolution without waiting to be asked

Strong networking fundamentals: LAN/WAN, VLANs, firewall administration, Wi-Fi

Endpoint management experience with Intune, Mosyle, or FleetDM
