  • Develop, modify, and optimize CNC programs using MasterCAM and/or G-code where required.
  • Read and interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and GD&T requirements.
  • Select appropriate tooling, fixtures, machining strategies, and cutting parameters to achieve required tolerances and surface finish.
  • Perform in-process inspections using precision measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, and dial indicators.
  • Monitor machining performance and troubleshoot tooling, machine, and process-related issues.
  • Carry out routine machine maintenance and ensure equipment is operating efficiently.
  • Work closely with production, engineering, and quality teams to meet production schedules and customer requirements.
  • Maintain a safe, organized, and quality-focused work environment.
Additional Responsibilities (Senior / Lead Level)

  • Plan and coordinate machining processes across milling, grinding, wirecut EDM, and CNC turning operations.
  • Define machining methods, operation sequences, tooling strategies, and workflow processes for new and existing components.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve productivity, reduce cycle times, and minimize scrap.
  • Support root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for machining and process-related issues.
  • Mentor and guide junior machinists by sharing technical knowledge and best practices.
  • Collaborate with department leaders to resolve production bottlenecks and optimize manufacturing processes.
Requirements

CNC Machinist

  • Minimum 1–3 years of CNC machining experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to read engineering drawings and use precision measuring instruments.
  • Familiarity with CNC machine setup, operation, and inspection processes.
  • Knowledge of G-code or CAM software is an added advantage.
Senior CNC Machinist

  • Minimum 4–6 years of CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment.
  • Strong CNC setup, programming, and troubleshooting capabilities.
  • Experience machining tight-tolerance and complex components.
  • Good understanding of GD&T and quality requirements.
Lead CNC Machinist

  • Minimum 6–8 years of CNC machining experience.
  • Proficiency in MasterCAM for CNC milling programming.
  • Proven experience in process planning, process optimization, and cross-functional coordination.
  • Strong leadership skills with experience mentoring machinists and driving technical improvements.
  • Experience in semiconductor, aerospace, medical, or other high-precision manufacturing industries is highly preferred.
Preferred Skills

  • Experience with 3-axis and/or multi-axis CNC machining.
  • Knowledge of grinding, wirecut EDM, and CNC turning processes.
  • Strong problem-solving, troubleshooting, and analytical skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
  • Good communication, organizational, and time management skills.
  • Familiarity with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives.
Working Environment

  • Manufacturing environment with exposure to machinery, noise, coolant, and production equipment.
  • Ability to work day or night shifts when required.
  • Overtime opportunities available based on operational needs.
Please Note

  • This position is open to Malaysian candidates only.
  • We appreciate all applications; however, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further consideration.
