For over 30 years, Lin Engineering has designed and manufactured precision motion control products - stepper motors, BLDC motors, linear actuators, and more - used in aerospace, robotics, life sciences, and autonomous vehicles. We're a California manufacturer with global reach, and quality isn't a department here - it's a core value.

We're looking for a Quality & Compliance Specialist who owns it.

What You'll Do

You'll be embedded in our quality operations - conducting internal audits, driving CAPA from root cause to closure, and investigating non-conformances and customer complaints. You'll manage environmental and regulatory compliance programs, collaborate directly with suppliers and customers on declaration of compliance activities, and partner with engineering, production, and supply chain to keep our products and processes at standard. You'll also support process improvement initiatives, maintain quality documentation, and train team members on standards and inspection techniques.

This role spends the majority of time in an office environment with regular interaction on the manufacturing floor - PPE required when on the floor. Occasional flexibility may be needed to support audits or production schedules, and minimal travel may be required for supplier audits or off-site training.
