    About the Opportunity

    A highly respected, growth-oriented advanced manufacturing organization is seeking a Senior Diamond Turning Engineering Technician to lead and elevate its Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) operations.

    This is not a standard CNC role.

    This position sits at the intersection of ultra-precision machining, tooling engineering, motion control optimization, and process innovation, supporting the production of optically functional surfaces manufactured at the limits of tolerancing.

    This is a role for someone who thrives on solving complex manufacturing challenges and pushing the limits of what's possible in precision machining. The organization serves demanding, high-technology markets where precision is non-negotiable and performance expectations are extreme.

    This is a highly visible, high-impact role within a technically sophisticated environment.

    Why This Role is Unique

    • Work on optically critical components requiring extreme form and finish precision.
    • Influence machining strategy, tooling design, and machine control at a systems level.
    • Drive measurable improvements in yield, throughput, and process capability.
    • Operate in a collaborative, engineering-driven culture.
    • Mentor and shape the next generation of ultra-precision technicians.
    • Be the technical authority in a high-performance SPDT environment.

    Key Responsibilities

    Ultra-Precision Machining & Process Development

    • Lead setup, programming, and operation of SPDT machine tools for ultra-precision optical components.
    • Develop and optimize machining processes to meet extreme form and surface finish requirements.
    • Generate and refine advanced CNC toolpaths using Mastercam and related platforms.

    Diamond Tool & Fixturing Engineering

    • Design and optimize custom diamond cutting tools (geometry, edge prep, application tuning).
    • Engineer advanced fixturing/workholding systems to ensure alignment and repeatability.
    • Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to improve tool performance and lifecycle.

    Machine Performance & Controls Optimization

    • Analyze machine dynamics including vibration, spindle behavior, and thermal effects.
    • Perform PID tuning and motion control optimization.
    • Troubleshoot process deviations using structured root cause analysis.

    Technical Leadership & Continuous Improvement

    • Partner with Quality, Metrology, and Production teams to ensure inspection alignment.
    • Drive improvements in cycle time, yield, and process capability.
    • Provide technical mentorship to diamond turning technicians across shifts.

    Maintenance & Process Governance

    • Ensure preventative maintenance and machine condition monitoring.
    • Maintain rigorous process documentation and parameter control.
    • Uphold precision manufacturing safety and cleanliness standards.

    Required Qualifications

    • 5+ years of diamond turning experience in ultra-precision manufacturing.
    • Advanced proficiency in Diffsys and Mastercam.
    • Proven expertise in diamond tool design and optimization.
    • Experience designing advanced fixturing for tight-tolerance components.
    • Strong knowledge of motion control systems and PID tuning.
    • Demonstrated ability to improve process capability and surface quality.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Background in optical component manufacturing.
    • CNC machining and advanced metrology experience.
    • Experience with closed-loop compensation strategies or automation integration.
