Melaka, MelakaFull-time
About the Job
Key responsibilities:
  • Develop and optimise CNC milling programs using MasterCAM for complex, tight-tolerance semiconductor components
  • Set up and operate CNC milling machines, ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface finish requirements are consistently met
  • Design and own end-to-end machining process plans, coordinating workflow across milling, grinding, wirecut, and turning departments
  • Define operation sequences, tooling strategies, fixturing approaches, and inter-department handoff criteria for new and existing parts
  • Work closely with department leads to resolve bottlenecks, sequencing conflicts, and non-conformances across the production chain
  • Review engineering drawings and apply GD&T knowledge to establish machining methods that meet part specifications
  • Troubleshoot machining and process issues, implementing corrective actions to prevent recurrence
  • Mentor and guide junior machinists, sharing programming and process knowledge across the team
  • Drive continuous improvement in cycle times, process stability, and scrap reduction across all machining disciplines
  • Maintain compliance with quality and safety standards relevant to precision semiconductor component manufacturing

Requirements:
  • Minimum 6–8 years of CNC milling experience in a precision or tight-tolerance environment
  • Proficiency in MasterCAM (mandatory) for 3-axis and/or multi-axis milling
  • Demonstrated experience in process planning or process engineering across multiple machining disciplines
  • Familiarity with grinding, wirecut EDM, and CNC turning processes — able to coordinate and communicate effectively with specialists in each area
  • Strong ability to read and interpret GD&T engineering drawings
  • Experience with tight-tolerance components (±0.005mm or better preferred)
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally and coordinate between departments
  • Background in semiconductor, aerospace, or medical precision parts is highly advantageous
