Build was founded to pioneer a profitable model for the revitalization of U.S. manufacturing. We’ve assembled a powerful set of complementary capabilities and lines of business that enable us to pursue a wide range of end markets. Our acquired businesses are grounded in build‑to‑print and by‑the‑hour engineering and design services, and we’re leveraging their combined expertise to migrate to increasingly sophisticated program development and production, as well as the generation of our own products.

Our unique set of capabilities lends itself to highly complex systems and products, and we offer customers a range of services including product and systems design, automation, fabrication, assembly, and large‑volume contract manufacturing across industries such as aerospace, defense, mobility, healthcare, pharma, biotech, clean tech, chemicals, energy, lifestyle, food production, and industrial equipment.

We seek an experienced leader familiar with commercializing manufacturing offerings or services and bringing new manufacturing technologies to market – identifying the market opportunities, framing the value proposition, directing R&D to support the most meaningful opportunities, and leading the coordinated efforts of commercial, engineering, manufacturing and other support functions. Based in Denver, CO and reporting to our CEO, as Vice President you will lead the business to significant growth in scale, product and customer mix, facilities footprint, and team members.

The ideal candidate brings experience leading the adoption of new manufacturing processes and services through shaping market strategies and leading teams in R&D, technical development, engineering, and production to build strong customer engagements. They will understand what it takes to successfully define sizeable market segments that align with our technology, develop and deliver demonstration parts in target markets, and drive commercial engagement with customers with similar requirements.

They will have significant experience leading a P&L, strong business acumen, an analytical and creative approach to problem‑solving, a continuous‑improvement mentality, and excellent coaching and motivational skills.
