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.\nWe 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.\nThe 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)\n\nWho we are looking for\nDigital innovation is central to Re:Build Manufacturing’s mission and essential for scaling as a world-class industrial company. The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) in the Digital Innovation Group (DIG) works directly at Re:Build sites alongside collaborators. They quickly prototype and deliver full-stack digital solutions that address real business challenges and create measurable impact. The FDE uses technical skills, AI knowledge, and awareness of industry developments to provide these solutions. They lead client workshops, develop solution strategies, manage critical technical issues, and cultivate positive relationships with site teams. The FDE also ensures risk management by aligning solutions with DIG’s security protocols, data standards, and AI governance guidelines while following coding practices. This role suits experienced engineers who combine strong technical insight, customer focus, product awareness, and who excel in responsibility and ownership.\nWhat you get to do\nCollaborate directly with team members to understand business processes, difficulties, and success criteria; and proactively uncover new opportunities to implement digital solutions.\nOwn the full lifecycle of prototypes and production solutions, from discovery and prioritization through build, deployment, and post-launch iteration.\nBuild prototype solutions to validate approaches and accelerate discovery.\nUse knowledge in AI and machine learning to recommend approaches where AI can generate measurable business impact for interested parties.\nBring external innovation to internal problems.\nIdentify and resolve bugs in prototypes while optimizing code for performance and scalability.\nProvide technical mentorship and support throughout implementation, including resolving issues, optimization, and adoption support.\nContribute to software build and architecture, ensuring scalability and reliability in line with team goals.\nEnsure adherence to guidelines and coding standards through code reviews.\nDevelop and maintain technical documentation, implementation playbooks, and reusable assets to accelerate future deployments.\nRisk, security, and compliance leadership: Guarantee that implementations meet DIG's security protocols, data management criteria, and AI governance standards.\nTravel up to 50% of the time to portfolio locations, mainly stationed at a particular site to speed up solution implementation (domestic US travel only).\nOther responsibilities as assigned.\nWhat you bring to the Team\n3+ years of software engineering, solutions platform delivery or technical implementation experience, ideally in customer-facing contexts.\nExperienced in programming languages such as Python or similar, with a strong understanding of APIs and systems integration.\nAbility to rapidly understand unfamiliar technical ecosystems and workflows and build integration paths.\nExcellent communication skills. Confident translating for both technical and non-technical collaborators.\nHigh ownership approach with comfort operating independently, navigating ambiguity.\nDemonstrated experience working with enterprise customers; particularly in manufacturing, quality, engineering services, or supply chain operations.\nExperience with LLMs, generative AI pipelines and agent-style automation frameworks (agent workflows, tool orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation).\nPrior consulting, technical solution engineering or internal tools engineering experience.\nDemonstrated experience leading complex customer deployments involving cloud infrastructure, identity/SSO, data access, and integration with enterprise systems.\nProven ability to establish standards and operating rhythm (playbooks, quality gates, blocking issue models, delivery targets) across distributed teams.\nExecutive-level collaborator management: able to communicate with senior collaborators; adept at navigating ambiguity and driving decisions.\nAbility to travel up to 75% of the time, with extended periods embedded at specific collaborator sites.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nSolid engineering foundation. Desired areas of study include, though are not restricted to, Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Machine Learning.\nFamiliarity with enterprise ecosystems such as Snowflake, Atlassian suite of tools, and common integration approaches.\nBackground in regulated industries and governance-heavy environments (auditability, privacy, retention).\nAbility to operate autonomously, thrive under ambiguity, and represent DIG at the highest level in customer environments.\nExperience partnering with product teams on platformization (turning custom work into reusable product capabilities).\nPrior enterprise delivery leadership experience driving multi-workstream execution, program governance, and executive steering across complex collaborator environments.\nExport Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.\nThe base salary range for this position is $120,223.00 - $180,334.00 per year.
