CNC & Manual Lathe Machinist (Precision/Micro-Machining)

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.
