Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams on continuous improvement initiatives, cycle time reductions, and process optimization.
Maintain tooling inventories and recommend tooling improvements to enhance efficiency and part quality.
Support operators and less experienced machinists with setup guidance and technical troubleshooting.
Follow all quality, safety, and lean manufacturing procedures.
Document setup information, tooling changes, and process improvements.
Preferred Programming Experience
Ability to create, edit, and optimize CNC programs is highly desired.
Experience with G-Code programming and Swiss CNC machine controls.
Familiarity with CAM software such as PartMaker, Esprit, GibbsCAM, Mastercam, or similar platforms is a plus.
Experience optimizing feeds, speeds, tooling, and machining strategies for improved productivity.
Qualifications

Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality parts.

Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative manufacturing team.
Ideal Candidate We're looking for a true Swiss machining professional who enjoys being on the shop floor, tackling complex setups, solving machining challenges, and continuously improving processes.
