We consider our employees to be our most valuable asset and would love for you to consider joining our team.


 

Join Our Team at PDS Optical! 


 

At PDS Optical, we are committed to serving our Nation’s Veterans with Pride, Dignity, and exceptional Service. Our mission is to provide affordable high-quality prescription eyewear that meets the needs of those brave men and women who have served our country! 

We are seeking a Digital Surface Technician! We are looking for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, thrives in a production environment, and values accuracy and consistency.

As a Digital Surface Technician, you will control the optical manufacturing equipment that blocks, generates, polishes, add backside coating, and lasers the lenses to the designated curve on the concave side of the lens.

This is a full-time position, Monday through Friday, 4:30pm – 1:00am. The payrate for this position is 17.00 per hour. 

Optical lab or mass manufacturing experience is preferred but not required. We will provide on-the-job training!

  • Must learn how to run all machines within your designated area.
  • Change and install the Filter Tech rolls with a partner, as necessary.
  • Be able to address any equipment errors and alarms on the automated surface line, which do not require a tool to repair.

  • Transport trays for production as needed.
  • Clean up your work area and machines during and after your shift.
