Automation Engineer IT and Business Systems

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)

• Solve complex issues, communicate status to collaborators, and ensure minimal business disruption.
• Maintain documentation, user guides, and training materials; deliver training to end users.

• Proactively find opportunities to automate, simplify, and optimize processes.
• Ensure all work aligns with cybersecurity, UI/UX, and architecture standards.
• Mentor peers and collaborate across IT and business functions with a “one team” approach.
• Meet service-level expectations, maintain accurate work estimates, and follow all company policies and processes.
• Automate repetitive IT tasks using PowerShell, Python, and related scripting methods.
• Travel to Re:Build locations as needed to support enterprise initiatives.

• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience in Information Technology (or related field)

• Power BI for dashboards and reporting
• SQL Server or cloud-native databases
• SQL and scripting languages (PowerShell, Python)

• Automating IT systems and processes

• Full lifecycle solution delivery (requirements → design → build → test → deploy → support)
• Working directly with end users and technical teams to understand processes and translate them into solutions
• Agile/Scrum development practices
• Deploying solutions across non-production and production environments
• Applying UI/UX and cybersecurity standard methodologies
