Job Description
Senior Mechanical Design Engineer - Pioneer the Future of Linear Motion
PBC Linear, a recognized leader in linear motion innovation , is seeking a highly skilled Sr Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Product Engineering team. For over 40 years, PBC Linear has pioneered the industry, establishing leadership through developments like the self-lubricating plain linear bearing. We are a major US manufacturer committed to engineering excellence and supplying precision components, guides, rails, and advanced actuators. This is a critical, hands-on engineering role focused on driving innovation within the linear motion industry . If you thrive on tackling complex engineering challenges, owning projects from concept to completion, and pushing the boundaries of mechanical design, we want to hear from you. What You Will Master: Analysis, Design, and Validation As a Senior Mechanical Engineer reporting to Product Design Engineering Manager, you will play a vital role in designing the next generation of components and motion systems, including linear bearings, actuators, and custom motion systems. Design and Development Challenges: - Lead clean-sheet mechanical designs for linear bearings, actuators, and motion systems. - Own the full-cycle development process, ensuring designs move efficiently from concept through validation and ultimate release. - Identify design differentiators by reverse engineering competitive products. Calculations, Testing, and Modeling: You must be comfortable with intensive engineering analysis and dedicated validation to ensure product integrity: - Perform essential engineering calculations , including load analysis, stress analysis, drive load analysis, motion profile analysis, tolerance stack up analysis, and material selection. - Develop comprehensive test plans and execute validation testing to prove models and iterate designs accordingly. - Utilize CAD (SOLIDWORKS) and FEA tools for modeling and simulation. - Create and maintain accurate 3D models, 2D drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). Collaboration and Support: - Ensure designs align with customer needs and manufacturability by working closely with sourcing, manufacturing, and marketing teams. - Support product launches by providing necessary CAD assets, technical data, and content for catalogs. Do You Have What It Takes? We are seeking a candidate who brings a combination of solid mechanical fundamentals and specific linear motion expertise. Required Qualifications: - Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. - Familiarity with motion control systems (drives, motors, encoders, sensors) and electro-mechanical systems. - Experience with component testing , rapid prototyping, and reverse engineering. - Knowledge of various manufacturing processes, including extrusion, machining, injection molding, and assembly. Preferred Experience: 5+ years of direct, proven experience in the linear motion industry (including bearings, guides, actuators, or motion systems). - Proven experience designing linear motion products, such as recirculating or plain bearing technology, lead screw or ball screw actuators, or profile rail systems.
* Experience Developing products and managing projects within a gated product development system.
- Experience creating catalog content, product datasheets, and working with web-based product configurators. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apply Today and Start Engineering Your Linear Motion Solutions!
