Summary
Josh Smith is a product manager and mechanical/electrical-trained engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building automation, controls, and smart factory software for aerospace and advanced manufacturing. He transitioned from principal and senior engineering roles at Blue Origin—where he expanded factory connectivity and automated complex production systems—to leading product efforts at Hadrian, bringing a systems-level view that spans hardware, firmware, and cloud-connected operations. Grounded in a BSEE from Montana State, Josh combines mechanical intuition with software and controls expertise, believing innovation rarely sits inside a single discipline. Colleagues know him as a lifelong learner who seeks mission-driven teams and pragmatic ways to turn ambitious visions into repeatable production realities. Notably, his background ranges from early C&DH development to decade-long electrical and controls design, giving him uncommon fluency across development lifecycles and manufacturing-scale deployment.
