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.
