Machinist - Full-time / Part-time

The world's largest custom silicon growing facility and provides services including prototyping and manufacturing of low-volume components and assemblies, and offers silicon blanks and ingots in a variety of sizes.

Machinist will be responsible for setting up and operating CNC machines to produce quality products that meet or exceed customer requirements.

They will be responsible for in-process part inspection and documentation. Machinist will work with CNC mills, lathes and grinders, and EDM machines depending on experience.

Most of Silfex's machines are 3-axis Haas or Mazak machines. Their machines operate on Fanuc and Mazatrol controls. Machinist will be broken up into one of 3 different groups depending on experience.

1. Inner Value Stream (IVS)-Makes parts with a lot of small holes that look like shower heads. It is used for gas distribution for the customer equipment.

2.Outer Value Stream (OVS): Makes very large rings (mostly) that go outside of the inner electrode (IVS part). They also make some parts that mimic the two pieces together

3.Hot Edge Ring (HER): is a much smaller part, thin rings that go around the wafer for the customer process.
All three groups include machine operators, cnc machinist and, cnc programmers.
