Your Role

• Operate an ultra-precision diamond turning machine to manufacture optical molds in optical quality, including setup, basic programming/parameter input, and in-process checks.
• Perform measurement tasks using a wide portfolio of metrology devices (e.g., surface profilers, interferometers, coordinate or form measuring systems) to verify optical and geometrical specifications.
• Support in routine measurement tasks.
• Prepare, mount, and handle workpieces and tools, ensuring cleanliness and proper clamping/fixturing.
• Document manufacturing parameters, measurement results, and deviations in a structured way.
• Support troubleshooting of process and measurement issues.
• Contribute to the maintenance, calibration, and basic care of diamond turning and metrology equipment.

Your Profile

• Technical or applied studies in optics, electronics, mechanics, physics, or mathematics.
• Professional experience in an optical, mechanical, or electronics laboratory or workshop environment.
• Prior exposure to precision manufacturing or metrology equipment is highly desirable.
• Fundamental understanding of optics, mechanics, and precision manufacturing principles.
• Hands-on experience with laboratory or workshop instruments, such as alignment tools, microscopes, and measuring devices.
• Proficiency in MATLAB or Python for basic data processing and analysis. NC programming is advantageous but not mandatory.
• Strong mathematical skills for interpreting measurement results and tolerances.
• Demonstrated ability to work in a structured, meticulous, and reliable manner, with a pronounced hands-on approach.
• Proficient in English.
