Interesting, challenging work with a big impact and room to grow on a team with excellent benefits. If you take pride in doing careful, hands-on work well — and you want that work to actually mean something — keep reading.

Rheo Engineering is a fast-growing team of roughly 100 engineers, craftsmen, and professionals building the powder handling systems and products that help pharmaceutical manufacturers produce medicine safely, efficiently, and reliably. We're a critical link in the medicine supply chain, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our values — Bold Humility, Reliability, Collaboration, Competence, and Initiative — aren't just words on a wall.

They shape who we are and who we hire.

As an Assembler I on our Rheo Flexibles production team, you'll build custom powder handling products used to manufacture medicine around the world. You'll work with specialized equipment in a cleanroom environment, follow detailed procedures, and hold yourself to a standard our customers depend on.

This is a second-shift role: 3:30 PM – 12:00 AM, Monday–Friday. Please note: initial training takes place on first shift, so the ability to work first shift during your ramp-up period is appreciated.

If you thrive in a structured, hands-on environment and want room to grow, there's a real path here.

What You'll Do

• Assemble Rheo Flexibles products in an ISO 7 cleanroom, following all procedures and quality standards
• Read and interpret blueprints and multi-step work instructions to produce assemblies that meet design specifications
• Operate custom plastic heat sealing equipment to weld and assemble flexible components
• Operate vacuum forming equipment as assigned
• Perform pre- and post-assembly quality inspections to verify conformance to standards
• Run basic CNC machine operations (no programming required) per standard procedures, as assigned
• Adhere to all cleanroom cleaning and contamination control protocols
• Wear required PPE consistently while in applicable work areas
• Contribute to team production targets — in both throughput and quality

What Success Looks Like

• Your assemblies are completed on time, to spec, and pass inspection without rework
• Cleanroom protocols and PPE requirements are followed consistently and without exception
• The team doesn't have to slow down or compensate for gaps in your execution — they know they can count on you

• Someone who embodies Rheo's core values:
  • Bold Humility
  • Reliability
  • Collaboration
  • Competence
  • Initiative
• Experience in a manufacturing, production, or assembly environment
• Ability to read and follow blueprints and multi-step written and verbal instructions
• Detail-oriented — quality is non-negotiable in this environment

• Hands-on aptitude — you take pride in doing precise, physical work well
• Adaptable — you learn quickly and adjust as products and processes evolve
• Basic computer proficiency (Windows-based systems, data entry, standard applications)
• Basic familiarity with ERP software (Epicor Kinetic preferred)

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in a cleanroom or regulated manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with heat sealing, vacuum forming, or CNC equipment

Why Rheo
