Manual Mill Machine Operator

The company manufactures precision components for semiconductor and industrial customers. The Manual Mill Machine Operator machines parts using manual milling machines (Chevalier and similar manual mills), reading blueprints and job travelers to check materials, parts, and tooling for each job, and making adjustments to meet print specifications. This role reports to the Manual Mill Leader/Manager.

Vietnamese fluency is strongly preferred for this role — the Manual Mill team leader has noted that candidates who speak Vietnamese are significantly easier to train on the floor. Basic English is sufficient; full English fluency is not required.
