Job Description

Job Description

Step into the lead seat of our turning operations

Each morning in New Kensington, PA, you’ll open Esprit, load up a new part model, and translate customer specs into elegant, efficient code. By mid-day, you’re on the floor dialing in a Nakamura lathe, validating your process with a first-article that heads straight to the QC Manager. In the afternoon, you’re coaching an operator through a setup changeover, squeezing seconds from a cycle, and keeping the department humming. Four days a week. Ten hours per day. One expertly run CNC turning cell at a time.

What you’ll own
  • High-level programming and process optimization for CNC lathes to maximize part quality and throughput.
  • Creation of CNC programs with Esprit to exact customer requirements, including robust tooling, workholding, and sequencing strategies.
  • Independent setups from program to production, ensuring repeatable precision.
  • On-machine validation and continuous uptime improvements for CNC lathes.
  • First-article inspection submission to the QC Manager for approval.
  • Training, guiding, and supporting operators; serving as the technical lead for the CNC department.
Schedule

4 days per week, 10 hours per day.

What you bring
  • High School Diploma or GED.
  • 7+ years of machining/programming experience or State Journeyman papers.
  • Fanuc control programming expertise.
  • Esprit 3D CAD/CAM programming proficiency; Mastercam experience a plus.
  • Strong problem-solving instincts and solid communication and basic math skills.
Proficiencies we value
  • Equipment Troubleshooting and general Troubleshooting Skills
  • CNC Programming and G-Code fluency
  • CNC Machine Repair
  • CNC Machine Setup & Changeover
  • Machine Setups for Production Runs
Machines & technologies you’ll work with
  • CNC Lathe (2–4 axis) – Nakamura
  • CNC Swiss Lathe – Citizen, Tsugami
  • CAM Software – Esprit, Mastercam
  • CNC Lathe (5+ axis) – Nakamura
