Who is Re:Build Manufacturing? 

At Re:Build Manufacturing we're rebuilding America's manufacturing base and creating meaningful, sustainable jobs in areas that have been deindustrialized over the past 20-30 years. Our strategy is to employ technology, systems, deep financial resources, and best management practices to compete and win as manufacturers in the global market. We are NOT private equity. We do not buy companies with the intention of selling them. Over the next decades, we want to make a difference in the US Manufacturing economy and the communities in which we operate. We believe in the power of people and the long-term competitive advantage that can be derived from helping our employees achieve their fullest potential.

Who we are looking for 

• Creative problem solvers who can connect scientific theory with engineering design to create novel products.
• Strong communicators who can convey why their designs are good and appropriate solutions to our clients’ challenges.
• Hands-on craftspeople who like to build breadboards and refined prototypes.
• Life-long learners who can take on a challenge in a field new to them and quickly be contributing solutions.
• Collaborators that enjoy working on technical teams that regularly include scientists, electrical engineers, optical engineers, manufacturing partners, and industrial designers.
• Results oriented engineers who want to work in a streamlined environment that has the right tools to get the job done and minimizes bottlenecks. 

What you'll get to do 

We’re hiring entry level mechanical engineers excited about product development. In this role engineers will gain experience with mechanical design and consulting. Engineers will work on product development teams to bring new products and technologies to market. They will gain experience developing designs, building and testing prototypes, and using the knowledge gained through testing to refine and improve on previous designs. Fikst’s projects are all hands-on and our prototyping shop includes CNC mills and lathe, 3D-printers, laser cutters, and a variety of other scientific and engineering equipment. Engineers will also gain experience meeting with and presenting to clients. This role can take one of two forms: a full-time engineering position or a 6-month post-graduate internship. The internship is targeted at applicants who would like to gain more design experience while trying engineering consulting and can lead to full-time positions. These options will be discussed with candidates during the interview process.
