Job Description

Your mission

Advance the manufacture of precision linear motion products by tightening processes, accelerating throughput, and safeguarding quality at PBC Linear. This is a mid-level (Level 2) role for an engineer who loves turning complex production challenges into scalable, documented solutions.

What you will accomplish
  • Design, test, and deploy process changes that enhance efficiency and product quality for precision components.
  • Own a multi-project slate, coordinating timelines, resources, and stakeholders to deliver on schedule.
  • Troubleshoot line issues to minimize downtime and stabilize performance.
  • Collaborate closely with design engineering, quality, and safety teams to align on manufacturability and compliance.
  • Author and maintain clear, detailed work instructions and SOPs to standardize best practices.
Outcomes in your first 6–12 months
  • Measurable cycle-time reduction and improved first-pass yield on selected product families.
  • Robust documentation and training artifacts that support repeatable execution.
  • Deployment of at least one data-driven continuous improvement initiative.
Qualifications
  • BS in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related discipline).
  • 5+ years in production manufacturing—experience with linear motion or precision parts strongly preferred.
  • Record of implementing innovative, continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Strong project management capability across competing priorities.
  • Proficiency with CAD and manufacturing systems; Lean Six Sigma certification is a plus.
Core technical skills
  • CNC Machine Installation
  • Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
  • Precision Measurement & Hand Metrology
Why PBC Linear
  • Competitive salary with a comprehensive benefits suite: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life and disability.
  • Dog-friendly office and a wellness-forward culture with onsite gym access and a trainer.
  • Innovative, collaborative environment with clear growth opportunities.
Compensation details

Base pay range: 75,000 USD – 115,000 USD. This good-faith estimate spans multiple experience levels. Final compensation reflects the role’s scope and responsibilities, your background, location, education/training, and key skills.
