Who We Are Looking For

Re:Build is seeking a Mechanical Engineer II to join our AppliedLogix 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 Do

• Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies from concept through prototyping, testing, and completion.
• Create and maintain 3D models, 2D drawings, and manufacturing documentation using SolidWorks.
• 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.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of mechanical design experience using SolidWorks and/or manufacturing process or tooling design.
• Experience working within a SolidWorks PDM environment.
• Knowledge of tolerance stack-ups, dimensional tolerancing, and assembly fit selection.
• Hands-on experience developing manufacturing processes and defining process parameters.
• Strong analytical and mathematical skills, including engineering calculations and statistical analysis.
• Ability to interpret technical documentation, including PFDs and process work instructions.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SolidWorks FEA, thermal analysis, or CFD tools.
• Familiarity with ISO 9001, Lean, Six Sigma, or similar quality systems.
• Experience with project management software, such as Microsoft Project.
• Exposure to AI tools that improve engineering design efficiency.
• Ability to support defense-related projects.
• Ability to travel up to 20% as needed.

Pay and benefits

The base salary range for this position is $97,000 - $145,000 per year. This range represents the Company's good faith estimate of the base compensation for this role at the time of posting.
