CNC Setup Specialist - Advanced Turn/Mill Workcenters

COMET TOOL INC

Job Description

Job Description

Are you a master of multi-axis CNC setups? We are seeking a highly skilled Advanced Setup Person to lead operations on our high-precision twin-spindle, live-tooling turn/mill workcenters . If you thrive on complex setups, tight tolerances, and optimizing multi-tasking machines, we want you on our team.

What You’ll Do

  • Advanced Machine Setup: Perform complex, independent setups on multi-axis CNC turn/mill centers featuring twin spindles, live tooling, and Y-axis capabilities.
  • Tooling & Workholding: Select, assemble, and set up specialized live and static tooling, synchronized sub-spindle workholdings, and part-unloading systems.
  • Program Verification: Review, prove out, and edit CNC programs (G-code) at the machine to ensure flawless execution and prevent machine crashes.
  • First-Article Inspection: Conduct initial part inspections using precision measuring instruments (micrometers, calipers, GD&T) to verify blueprint compliance.
  • Process Optimization: Fine-tune speeds, feeds, and cycle times to maximize efficiency and tool life.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of dedicated experience setting up multi-tasking CNC turn/mill or Swiss-style machines.
  • Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in reading blueprints, interpreting complex GD&T symbols , and editing G-code.
  • Precision: Proactive mindset with a proven track record of holding tight tolerances (e.g., ±0.0005").
  • Problem Solving: Ability to troubleshoot complex machining issues, multi-tasking sync-codes, and tooling interference challenges independently.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits.
  • 401(k) matching and paid time off.
  • Clean, climate-controlled, air-conditioned shop floor with modern equipment.
  • Opportunities for continuous technical training and career advancement.
