Who is Re:Build Manufacturing?
At Re:Build, our mission is to ensure the next generation of important products are made, at scale, in America. We are laying the foundation for a better future for our customers, employees, and communities by revitalizing America's manufacturing base and creating meaningful jobs across the country, including in historically deindustrialized regions.
We operate an advanced, end-to-end manufacturing platform that partners with industrial companies and innovators to take products from first concept to full-scale production in critical verticals including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation.
The way we operate is as important as the work we do. It's guided by The Re:Build Way, 16 principles that shape how we collaborate with each other, partner with our customers and vendors, and contribute to the communities where we operate. The Re:Build Way principles
Who is Re:Build Fikst?

Who we are looking for
- A creative problem solver who can use engineering fundamentals to connect scientific theory with engineering design to create novel software solutions. While we value experience with specific tools (like C/C++, RTOS, or Linux), we care more about your ability to architect scalable systems and solve the 'impossible' problems that don't have a manual.
- A strong communicator who can describe technical solutions to colleagues and clients.
- A hands-on firmware engineer who likes to build breadboards, use software to debug hardware, and bring electromechanical systems to life.
- A technical multiplier who measures their own success by the growth and success of the engineers around them.
