About Helix Linear

Helix Linear Technologies designs and manufactures high-precision motion control systems for industries where performance matters most, including aerospace, medical devices, defense, and advanced automation. Our products power mission-critical applications where reliability and precision down to 0.0001 inches make all the difference.

Our vision is to engineer what’s possible in motion, with precision, integrity, and purpose. We pursue that vision by designing, machining, grinding, and assembling critical motion components in-house, including precision ball screws and linear systems. Our clean, climate-controlled facility is equipped with advanced manufacturing equipment including Citizen Swiss lathes, multi-axis CNC mills, precision grinders, and specialized assembly and test systems.

Helix is growing and investing in new equipment, advanced processes, and the systems required to scale with discipline. As we expand, we’re building a world-class precision manufacturing operation, which means higher standards for ownership, communication, urgency, and accountability across every role on the floor.

About the Position

The Maintenance Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing the precision manufacturing equipment that powers Helix’s production floor.

This role supports a wide range of equipment including Citizen Swiss CNC lathes, multi-axis CNC mills, grinding machines, heat treat systems, electrochemical deburring equipment, inspection systems, and assembly/test stations.

You will perform preventative maintenance, diagnose equipment issues, and repair mechanical and electrical systems to keep machines operating reliably and production moving.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands precision machining environments and enjoys solving problems on the shop floor.

Responsibilities

Machine Maintenance & Repair

You’ll maintain and repair a range of precision manufacturing equipment including Swiss-style CNC lathes, multi-axis CNC mills, grinding machines, special process equipment, and the assembly, test, and inspection systems that support high-tolerance aerospace and motion-control manufacturing.
