Mbryonics is at the forefront of free space optical communications. Our product portfolio covers a wide range of emerging technologies from photonic integrated circuits to advanced optical systems and embedded software solutions. Our optical communications systems are integrated and deployed in satellite communications systems. The work is exciting and challenging and is at the forefront of the technology domains. As part of our expansion, we are currently looking for a suitably motivated - Single Point Diamond Turning Machinist - to join our group.
What you’ll do
Operate and set up ultra-precision single point turning machines (e.g., Single Point Diamond Turning machines) to produce highly precise optical and mechanical components.
Select and mount appropriate tooling (e.g., natural diamond tools) and fixtures.
Load and unload delicate workpieces with extreme care.
Verify and load CNC programs, adjusting machining parameters (feed rates, spindle speeds, depth of cut) to optimise surface finish and form accuracy.
Make minor program edits and offsets as required to meet specifications.
Perform in-process and post-process metrology using highly sensitive instruments (e.g., interferometers, profilometers, CMMs) to verify surface roughness, form accuracy, and dimensional tolerances.
Interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and G-code/M-code.
Perform routine preventative maintenance on single point turning machines and associated equipment (e.g., air bearings, cooling systems) to ensure optimal performance.
Diagnose and resolve minor machine issues to maintain production schedules.
Work with a variety of specialised materials, including aluminum, copper, electroless nickel plating, optical plastics, and IR crystals.
Ensure proper material handling and storage to prevent contamination or damage.
Collaborate with Quality Engineers and R&D to continuously improve machining processes, reduce cycle times, and enhance part quality.
Document processes, troubleshooting steps, and best practices.
Adhere strictly to cleanroom procedures and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive protocols.
Who you are
5+ years of hands-on experience operating and setting up precision CNC turning machines, with significant experience in Single Point Turning (ideally Diamond Turning).
Demonstrable expertise in achieving nanometer-level surface finishes and sub-micron form accuracy.
Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex technical drawings, blueprints, and metrology reports.
Experience with precision metrology equipment such as interferometers, optical profilers, and non-contact inspection systems.
Strong understanding of material properties relevant to single point turning (e.g., ductile materials, optical plastics).
Meticulous attention to detail, exceptional manual dexterity, and a patient, methodical approach to work.
Problem-solving skills for diagnosing machining issues and optimizing processes.
Ability to work independently and as part of a highly skilled technical team.
Commitment to maintaining a clean and organized work environment.
Must be eligible to work in Ireland.
Desirable Skills & Experience
Formal qualification in Machining, Precision Engineering, Toolmaking, or a related field.
Experience in the aerospace, defense, optics, or semiconductor industries.
Familiarity with various CNC control systems specific to ultra-precision machines (e.g., Pneumo, Precitech, Moore).
Basic understanding of G-code and M-code programming for troubleshooting and minor edits.
Experience with cryogenic machining or other specialized machining techniques.
Knowledge of vacuum systems and cleanroom operation.
What's In It For You
Career Growth: Contribute to a world-class space-age communication program while developing your leadership skills in a state-of-the-art manufacturing environment
Collaboration: Work with talented professionals across disciplines to drive impactful solutions
Innovation: Be part of a team pioneering advancements in manufacturing engineering for cutting-edge FSO systems
