Who we are looking for

Are you the type of person who sees a napkin sketch and already knows what tools, materials, and machines it'll take to bring it to life—by lunch?

Do you get a rush from turning the impossible into “it’s already on the bench”? Are you part engineer, part fabricator, part mad scientist? If you’re the kind of person who gets restless without a project to weld, wire, carve, print, or machine—read on.

We’re looking for a one-in-a-million rapid prototyping leader who can do more than run machines—you’ll run the whole lab. At Re:Build, we don’t want someone to follow the process—we want someone to create it. You’ll have wide latitude, a killer shop, and the mandate to go from idea to reality, fast.

This isn’t a job for someone who waits to be told what to do. We need a builder, hacker, fixer, maker, and doer. Someone who thrives in ambiguity and sees every sketch as a challenge to beat the clock and the spec.

What you bring to the Team (besides a full tool belt)

5+ years building physical things—could be in aerospace, robotics, consumer products, or your own garage

Fluent in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion, Rhino, etc.), CAM, and shop-floor ingenuity

Comfortable getting dirty and figuring things out with limited inputs

Experience leading teams or labs—or ready to step into that role

Deep understanding of materials and fabrication methods: metals, plastics, composites, you name it
