Full Job Description

Optical Lab Technician — Entry Level

Location: Elko, Nevada Employment Type: Full-Time Reports To: Lab Manager

Read This Before Applying

No prior optical experience is required — we will train you on the equipment, the software, and the optics itself. What we won't train is attention to detail, patience, and work ethic.

This is a precision job that requires attention to detail, high expectations, and strict deadlines. If the idea of learning a genuinely technical craft and doing it precisely, every time, sounds satisfying rather than tedious, keep reading.

We would rather leave this position open for months than rush a hire.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You'll start with fundamentals and build up — but the ceiling on this role is high, and how fast you climb it is largely up to you.

Learning to operate surfacing, edging, and coating equipment to cut and finish spectacle lenses to precise shape, curvature, and axis specifications
Learning to read prescriptions and understand how sphere, cylinder, axis, and add power translate into a finished lens
Selecting lens blanks and materials under guidance, working toward doing this independently
Learning our lab management software and how to track jobs accurately from order to finished product
Performing quality control inspection on finished lenses using lensmeters and manual verification against Rx and frame specs, once trained
Assisting with equipment maintenance and calibration
Keeping accurate, honest records — including flagging your own mistakes, not just the ones we catch

Minimum Qualifications — Non-Negotiable

High school diploma or equivalent
Demonstrated manual dexterity and attention to detail — you will be doing fine detail work for extended periods.
Comfort with precision measurement tools — no prior experience needed, but you should be the kind of person who double-checks a number instead of eyeballing.
Ability to stand for extended shifts and work with small parts, chemicals (lens coatings, cleaning solvents), and machinery safely
Basic computer literacy — comfortable learning new software
A genuinely low tolerance for shortcuts. If a job doesn't meet spec, you scrap it and redo it — every time, no exceptions. We can teach the craft; we can't teach this
Reliability. This job runs on a schedule other people depend on — dispensing staff, patients waiting on glasses, other techs downstream in the process

What Will Set You Apart

Any hands-on hobby or work history involving precision, small parts, or fine motor skill (jewelry making, model building, sewing, machining, musical instrument repair, etc.)
Basic familiarity with computers/software beyond the basics (spreadsheets, inventory systems, anything requiring you to learn an interface quickly)
Any exposure to math/geometry you're comfortable with — angles and curvature come up constantly
A steady work history, even outside this field, showing up on time and following through

The Screening Process

Because we're hiring for precision and judgment, not just a resume:

Application review — we're looking for specifics, not generic phrases like "hard worker" and "fast learner." Give us an actual example of a time your attention to detail mattered.
In-person interview — a short conversation to see how you think and communicate, not a test of optical knowledge you're not expected to have yet.
Work history — we'll ask about reliability, coachability, and how you respond when someone points out a mistake.

If any part of that process makes you uncomfortable, this probably isn't the right role for you — and that's a useful thing to know now rather than three weeks into the job.

Compensation & Schedule

Pay: $18-$20/hour, depending on experience

Schedule: 8-hour shifts, with real flexibility required — workload occasionally runs long, and shifts can stretch to 10–12 hours when the lab is backed up. If you need a hard, predictable clock-out time every single day, this isn't the right fit. If you can roll with a demanding day now and then, it won't be a problem.

How to Apply

Send a resume and a short written response (a few sentences is fine) describing a time your attention to detail or patience made a real difference in something you did — work, school, a hobby, anything. Generic cover letters will not be reviewed as carefully as this response.

Pay: $18.00 - $20.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
