Responsibilities

Set up and operate CNC machines, including Okuma lathes and Seiki mills, to produce precision components according to specifications.

Read and interpret blueprints, work orders, and technical drawings to determine machining requirements.

Measure and inspect finished parts using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other hand tools to ensure they meet quality and dimensional standards.

Monitor machine operations continuously and make necessary adjustments to maintain product quality, efficiency, and throughput.

Perform routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting on CNC machines and related equipment, and promptly report any mechanical issues.

Use mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills to identify and resolve issues that may affect production quality or machine performance.

Communicate clearly in English with team members and leadership to ensure smooth workflow and safe operations.

Why Work Here?
