Systems Engineer - CAD

Role details

About Re: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 ) Who we are looking for Using emotional intelligence, compassion, and a strong voice‑of‑the‑customer approach, this role is responsible for crafting, setting up, building, maintaining, and supporting Re:Build’s enterprise engineering systems like CAD, PDM, and PLM ecosystems—including SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA, Teamcenter, and supporting engineering applications such as MATLAB. The CAD Systems Engineer ensures that our engineering and production teams have reliable, performant, secure, and well‑integrated tools that enable high‑quality design, collaboration, and product development aligned with business goals. This senior‑level role collaborates closely with engineering, cybersecurity, and manufacturing teams to deliver stable and scalable engineering systems. Responsibilities also include mentoring team members, producing and maintaining accurate documentation, delivering work within defined SLAs, defining detailed work plans, and leading automation and continuous‑improvement initiatives that enhance engineering productivity and system reliability across all Re:Build sites. The ideal candidate brings a blend of CAD/PLM technical depth, systems engineering expertise, and the ability to support a fast-paced, multi-site engineering environment. This role is expected to use AI to streamline all aspects of Engineering systems administration and capabilities.
