Industrial Controls Engineer, Servo and Stepper Systems
PBC Linear Bearings
Job Description
Job Description
Industrial Controls Engineer, Servo and Stepper SystemsAre you the engineer who…
- Can size a servo or stepper drive train from a napkin sketch using load and inertia calculations?
- Enjoys wiring a clean control panel just as much as writing IEC 61131-3 PLC code?
- Knows how to tune a motion axis until it hits the move profile every time?
- Speaks fluently with customers, vendors, and fellow engineers to solve controls challenges?
- Technical product support for linear motion systems, components, and cartesian robotics.
- Design, component selection, and troubleshooting with stepper/servo motors, drives, sensors, safety equipment, and controls.
- Motor and drive sizing using proper load calculations.
- PLC programming (IEC 61131-3) and integration with drives and I/O.
- Tuning servo and stepper axes for performance and stability.
- Electrical panel work: install, wire, and troubleshoot components within control panels.
- Interpret and create electrical control panel schematics.
- Support customer applications and test stands—design, build, operate, and troubleshoot.
- Cross-functional communication with engineering peers, vendors, and customers on controls-related issues.
- Apply mechatronics know-how across controls, software, and mechanical actuator systems.
- Use electrical design software for documentation and validation.
- Collaborate with sales and customers to define requirements; recommend PBC Linear products or help design new solutions as needed.
- Nice to have: C++, C#, or Visual Basic for auxiliary tooling and test scripts.
- Direct experience with servo and stepper motor dynamics, PLCs, controls, and drive systems.
- Background with linear motion building blocks: actuators, profile rail, ball/lead screws, and linear bearings (preferred).
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related 2-year technical degree, ideally Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or Mechatronics.
PBC Linear, A Pacific Bearing Company, leads globally in linear technology while operating locally with a strong commitment to our associates and community. Expect a rapidly changing, dynamic environment with room to grow—and comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance, STD, LTD, AD&D, and Aflac.
