Job Description

Job Description

1st Shift | 6 AM to 2 PM | Full-Time

Build Life-Saving Medical Components - Day Shift, Stable Work, Variety Every Day

Do you enjoy setting up machines, solving problems, and seeing your work make a real impact?

Are you looking for a hands-on CNC role with variety, responsibility, and room to grow?

Custom Wire Technologies, Inc., is a trusted Manufacturer of precision medical components, and we're looking for a CNC Set-up Technician to join our 1st Shift team.

With nearly 25 years of success in the medical manufacturing industry, we offer stability, modern equipment and a job-shop environment where every day brings something new.

Why You'll Like Working Here

  • Day shift schedule (6 AM–2 PM) – evenings free
  • Stable medical industry work
  • Interesting job‑shop variety (not repetitive production)
  • Opportunity to take ownership of setups and troubleshooting
  • Clean, regulated manufacturing environment
  • Supportive team culture with opportunities to train others and build leadership skiils

What You'll Do

In this role you'll support the production of high-quality medical components by:

  • Setting up and operating CNC and related production equipment
  • Adjusting machinery and processes to maintain quality and efficiency
  • Reviewing work orders and schedules to meet customer needs
  • Performing routine, preventative, and basic corrective maintenance
  • Troubleshooting equipment or process issues
  • Maintaining accurate maintenance and setup documentation
  • Working cross‑functionally with engineering, quality, and production teams
  • Assisting with training and mentoring technicians or production staff
  • Following GMPs, SOPs, and all safety and quality requirements

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications:

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 1–3+ years of machine set‑up experience (CNC preferred)
  • Manufacturing experience with mechanical systems
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem‑solving skills
  • Familiarity with hand tools and basic measurement
  • Ability to perform basic math
  • Adaptability in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment

Extras (Nice-to-have but not required)

  • Technical or trade school education
  • Experience with CNC programs and programming
  • Medical device or regulated industry experience
  • Job shop manufacturing background
  • Experience with engineering change processes

Ready to Join Us?

If you want a steady 2nd shift role where your technical skills are valued and your work supports critical medical products, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and become part of a team that makes a real difference - one precision component at a time.

At this time, we are not considering candidates that need any type of immigration sponsorship now or in the future to work in the United States.
