About the Job
About the Role:
We are seeking a skilled Lathe Machinist with experience in both manual and CNC turning to support precision manufacturing of micro-components for semiconductor and high-tech industries. The role requires strong hands-on machining capability, attention to tight tolerances, and experience working with small, intricate parts.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Set up and operate manual and CNC lathe machines for precision components.
  • Perform micro-machining of small, high-precision parts (tight tolerances, fine features).
  • Interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and process requirements
  • Select appropriate tooling, cutting parameters, and machining strategies
  • Conduct in-process inspection using precision instruments (micrometer, vernier, microscope, etc.)
  • Ensure parts meet strict quality and surface finish requirements.
  • Perform CNC programming/editing (G-code) and troubleshooting.
  • Maintain machine cleanliness, tooling condition, and proper documentation.
  • Work closely with engineering and QA teams to resolve machining issues.
  • Support continuous improvement in machining processes and productivity.

Requirements:
  • Minimum 2–5 years of experience in lathe machining (manual and/or CNC).
  • Proven experience in micro parts machining (e.g. small diameters, tight tolerances, delicate features).
  • Able to read and interpret technical drawings and tolerances
  • Familiar with materials such as stainless steel, engineering plastics, or specialty materials.
  • Experience in semiconductor, precision engineering, or high-mix low-volume production is an advantage.
  • Knowledge of CNC programming (G-code) preferred.
  • Detail-oriented with strong commitment to quality and precision.
