  • Experience running diamond turning lathes
  • Experience with sub-micron tolerance parts and how to handle/inspect them
  • CNC Lathe setup experience
  • Understanding of optics manufacturing and associated metrology
  • Ability to provide feedback and suggest process improvements to production and engineering

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be available for 10 hour shifts. Estimated shift times: 1st shift (6:00AM-4:30PM), 2nd shift (4:00PM to 2:30AM)
