Production Technician

The smallest details make the biggest difference.

At Pacific Rubber Products, we believe exceptional products begin with exceptional craftsmanship.

For more than 40 years, we've partnered with leaders in the semiconductor, medical, automotive, solar, and advanced technology industries to manufacture precision sealing solutions that power critical applications around the world.

Every component we produce must perform flawlessly. That's why we're looking for people who take pride in their work, care about quality, and understand that excellence lives in the details.

The Production Technician is a highly hands-on role responsible for the deflashing, inspection, cleaning, and packaging of precision molded rubber and rubber-to-metal bonded components, requiring exceptional attention to detail, manual dexterity, and craftsmanship to ensure every component is clean, undamaged, dimensionally accurate, and fully compliant with customer specifications.

This isn't assembly-line work.

This is craftsmanship.

Why This Role Matters

The parts you work on may fit in the palm of your hand, but they support technologies that impact millions of people every day. Each component requires a steady hand, sharp eye, and commitment to precision.

If you enjoy hands-on work, take pride in producing flawless results, and thrive in an environment where quality comes before speed, you'll feel right at home here.

What You'll Do

• Carefully deflash molded rubber and rubber-to-metal components using specialized hand tools and equipment, removing excess material while preserving critical dimensions, sealing surfaces, and product integrity.

• Work around intricate edges, grooves, and precision features to ensure every component meets exact specifications and customer requirements.

• Inspect finished components for cosmetic defects, flash, dimensional accuracy, and overall quality before they move to the next stage of production.

• Use precision hand tools, Dremel equipment, scrapers, and other approved finishing tools to perform detailed deflashing and finishing operations.

• Monitor tooling condition, identify wear or performance issues, and help maintain equipment to support safe and efficient production.

• Clean, package, label, and organize finished products according to established procedures to prevent damage, contamination, or product mix-ups.

• Ensure finished goods are customer-ready, properly identified, traceable, and packaged to the highest quality standards.

• Collaborate with Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Operations teams to solve problems, improve processes, and support a culture of craftsmanship, accountability, safety, and continuous improvement.
