This application puts you in our system, and when an opening comes up that fits what you are looking for, we’ll reach out.
Rheo Engineering is a team of about 100 people that designs and builds custom, automated powder handling equipment used in the manufacture of life-saving drugs across the world. We design it, build it, and ship it — all under one roof. Turnover here is low, and there’s a reason: we work together, lean on each other’s strengths, and take care of our people.
Where You Could Fit
We hire across the whole company. Here’s a look at the teams and the kind of work they do:
- Custom Stainless Production — our high-end job shop. Machining, TIG welding, electromechanical assembly, and surface finishing on custom stainless steel equipment. Craftsman-level work in a very clean shop, where no two projects are the same.
- Rheo Flexibles Production — an ISO 7 cleanroom environment building our Flexibles product line. Operating equipment like CNC machines and custom-built plastic welders, with full PPE and set first and second shifts. A great entry point into manufacturing — no prior experience in a cleanroom required.
- Mechanical Design Engineering — two teams: Application Engineering, designing custom solutions for customer projects, and New Product Development, building and improving Rheo’s standard product lines.
- Controls & Electrical Engineering — designing the automation, controls, and electrical systems that bring our equipment to life.
- Project Management — guiding custom projects from purchase order to delivery, keeping customers, engineering, and production on the same page.
- Warehouse & Inventory — receiving, staging, and managing the materials and parts that keep production moving.
- Quality — the team behind our quality system — inspection, CAPAs, equipment and process validation, and audits — making sure everything we build meets the standard our customers count on.
- Purchasing — sourcing materials, parts, and vendors, and keeping production supplied on time and at the right price.
- Sales — working directly with customers to understand their process and challenges, and shaping the right solution — whether that’s a standard product, a custom-engineered system, or something in between.
- Accounting — managing the numbers, from payables and receivables to the financial side of every project.
- Human Resources — a true business partner — hiring, onboarding, and benefits, plus partnering with management on organizational development, training, and building a team people want to be a part of.
- Administration — the front-office and behind-the-scenes support that keeps the whole operation organized and moving.
What It’s Like to Work Here
- Work that matters — the equipment we build helps make life-saving medicine around the world, and demand for it keeps growing.
- A small team where you’re a name, not a number — about 100 people, low turnover, and coworkers who have your back.
- A flexible work environment — we believe good work and a good life go together, and we build schedules that respect both.
- Room to grow — we’re growing fast, opportunities keep opening up, and we’re always on the lookout for capable leaders. Show us the effort, ability, and desire, and we’ll help you develop.
