Build 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. (link to The Re:Build Way principles)

Build is seeking a Mechanical Engineer II to join our Applied Logix team in Rochester, NY. We're looking for someone with 3–5 years of mechanical design experience who enjoys solving technical challenges and developing products from concept through prototyping and testing. You'll support engineering projects across electrification, energy, and mobility.

You're comfortable taking ownership of designs, applying sound engineering judgment, and collaborating to develop practical, manufacturable solutions. This is an opportunity to grow your technical expertise, work alongside experienced engineers, and begin mentoring early-career engineers and co-ops.

What You Get To DoDesign and develop mechanical components and assemblies from concept through prototyping, testing, and completion.

Create and maintain 3D models, 2D drawings, and manufacturing documentation using Solid Works.

Perform engineering calculations and analysis, including thermal analysis and FEA when applicable, to validate designs.

Lead design reviews, incorporate feedback, and support risk assessments such as FMEAs.Solve technical challenges by evaluating design tradeoffs, researching solutions, and applying engineering standards.

Mentor co-ops and early-career engineers, supporting their technical development and engineering judgment.

Collaborate with engineers, vendors, and clients to coordinate requirements, resolve challenges, and support project execution, including occasional site visits.

What You Bring To The Team

Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.
4+ years of mechanical design experience using Solid Works and/or manufacturing process or tooling design.

Experience working within a Solid Works PDM environment.

Knowledge of tolerance stack-ups, dimensional tolerancing, and assembly fit…
