Manual Mill Machine Operator

Express Employment Professionals - Fremont

Job Description

Job Description

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.

WHO WE NEED

Someone with hands-on experience operating manual mill machines (Chevalier or similar) who can read a blueprint, verify parts and tooling against it, and make adjustments to keep the job within print specifications. This role involves carrying heavy parts and fixtures and standing at the machine for extended periods, so physical stamina matters. Careful, safety-conscious habits are essential — the associate needs to stay alert to coolant spills around the machine and keep the work area and equipment clean at all times.

WHAT THEY WILL DO DAY ONE

  • Read blueprints and check materials, parts, and tools needed for each job number.

  • Process job travelers and job orders.

  • Check parts and make adjustments to the mill setup according to print specifications.

  • Fill in completed data on job travelers/orders for each operation.

  • Change coolant as needed.

  • Clean the machine and equipment daily.

  • Clean the workstation at the end of each shift.

  • Attend company meetings and training sessions as needed.

MUST KNOW WALKING IN

  • Vietnamese fluency strongly preferred — the team can train new hires much more effectively when they speak Vietnamese. Basic English is sufficient; full fluency is not required.

  • Hands-on manual mill operation experience required — Chevalier or similar manual mill experience strongly preferred.

  • Physical ability to stand for extended periods and carry heavy parts and fixtures.

  • Ability to read blueprints and job travelers, and check parts and materials against them.

  • Careful, safety-conscious approach — attentive to coolant spills and machine safety at all times.

  • Attention to detail — able to make precise adjustments to keep parts within print specifications.

You should be proficient in:

  • Blueprint Reading
  • Semiconductor or quartz component

Machines & technologies you'll use:

  • Plate Saw
  • Measurement Gauges
  • Chevalier manual mill
  • Manual mill
