## Job description

Who is Re:Build Manufacturing?

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. [The Re:Build Way principles](https://rebuildmanufacturing.com/about/rebuild-way/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Who is Re:Build Fikst?

Re:Build Fikst, a Re:Build Manufacturing company, is a dynamic product development and engineering consulting firm located in Wilmington, MA. We work with pioneering clients to develop technology, design products, and bring those products to production. Re:Build Fikst's areas of expertise include biomedical instruments and consumables, industrial automation, and design for manufacturing. Fikst has growing embedded systems design capabilities, focusing on providing microcontroller and embedded firmware solutions for electromechanical control across a wide variety of technologies and industries. We have extensive in-house laboratory and rapid prototyping capability including CNCs, 3D printers, waterjet and laser cutters, which help facilitate our ability to prototype and innovate fast. As part of Re:Build Manufacturing, we are able to collaborate with other member sites and leverage a greater network of capabilities including composites, industrial design, structural analysis, and embedded systems design.

## Who we are looking for

- A creative problem solver who can use engineering fundamentals to connect scientific theory with engineering design to create novel software solutions. While we value experience with specific tools (like C/C++, RTOS, or Linux), we care more about your ability to architect scalable systems and solve the 'impossible' problems that don't have a manual.
- A strong communicator who can describe technical solutions to colleagues and clients.
- A hands-on firmware engineer who likes to build breadboards, use software to debug hardware, and bring electromechanical systems to life.
- A technical multiplier who measures their own success by the growth and success of the engineers around them.
- A life-long learner who can take on a challenge in an unfamiliar field and quickly contribute to solutions. You are someone who is equally excited about mastering a new technology and then turning around to teach it to the rest of the team. Your curiosity drives you to stay ahead of industry trends, and your passion drives you to bring the team along with you.
- A collaborator that enjoys working in teams of scientists, electrical engineers, optical engineers, manufacturing partners, mechanical engineers, and industrial designers.

## What you get to do

- Develop embedded software for a wide range of products. These will include medical devices, robotics solutions, industrial automation products, consumer electronics, and much more.
- Learn across disciplines and acquire additional responsibilities over time.
- Interact directly with customers to learn about their needs, discuss our capabilities, and demonstrate our solutions.
- Work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers.
- Support hardware demonstrations with customers as needed.
- Become part of a diverse team of engineers that work hard, love what they do, and enjoy a great work-life balance.

## What you bring to the team

- Education: BS in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or related engineering disciplines.
- Experience: 8-12+ years of experience working as a firmware engineer on a variety of hardware platforms, using a diverse set of programming languages, and microcontrollers.
- Consulting: Experience working in a consulting capacity, having interfaced with internal and external clients.
- Communication & Collaboration: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to describe technical concepts to both peers and non-technical audiences.
- Electromechanical: Strong background in electromechanical systems requiring hardware/firmware interaction such as firmware control of actuators, motors, sensors, etc.
- Debugging: strong background in debugging hardware/firmware interaction using common lab tools such as logic analyzers, digital multimeters, and oscilloscopes.
- Micros & Interfaces: Working knowledge of microcontrollers and their common peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, USB, GPIO, ADC, PWM, etc.
- Programming Languages: Experience developing embedded software using C/C++ on custom embedded systems. Experience using scripting languages (Python, etc.) to control embedded hardware including ARM-based Linux (Raspberry Pi), basic microprocessors (Arduino), or integrated solutions like LabJack.
- Dev Tools: Experience using firmware development tools such as IDEs, compilers, debuggers, and cross-compilers. Good source-code management, including the use of source control (e.g. git), and good scheduling and issue management practice (e.g. Jira).
- Runtimes:
- RTOS: Experience with the implementation of real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, others).
- Linux: A working knowledge of embedded Linux as well as writing drivers and applications.
- Bare Metal: Comfortable writing firmware to directly control hardware resources, without an operating system.
- Bonus skills:
- Implementation of control algorithms and an understanding of control theory.
- Working knowledge of common regulatory standards such as FCC emission requirements, UL safety standards. Understanding of medical device certification (ISO 13485, IEC 62304).

The base salary range for this position is $143,666.72 – $215,500.08 per year. This range represents the Company’s good faith estimate of the base compensation for this role at the time of posting.  Actual compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, skills, qualifications, internal equity, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for annual incentive compensation and/or long-term incentives, subject to Company plans. The Company offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement, paid time off, and other benefits.
