Senior Swiss-Type CNC Setup and Programming Specialist

TTE

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a senior role where precision meets mentorship

Picture your morning: you review a complex print, select the ideal tools, load material, and bring a Swiss-style CNC lathe to life. You hand-code a few lines of G/M code, refine the program in CAM, run a first-off, measure meticulously, and dial in the process for repeatable, on-time production. Throughout the day, you coach junior machinists, partner with engineering and quality, and fine-tune programs for speed and accuracy—always with a clean, safe workstation.

What you’ll handle
  • Set up and run CNC Swiss machines for production, including tooling selection, loading material, and complete part setup
  • Interpret detailed engineering drawings and specifications to guide machining strategy
  • Program Swiss machines via CAM (e.g., Esprit, PartMaker) or by manual G/M-code
  • Execute test programs, perform trial cuts, and verify results through inspection and measurement
  • Oversee production for quality, precision, and schedule adherence
  • Troubleshoot complex issues and optimize code, tooling, and parameters for throughput
  • Collaborate with engineering, production, and quality to improve processes and output
  • Train and mentor junior machinists in setup, operation, and programming
  • Conduct routine machine maintenance to sustain reliability
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area
What you bring
  • 5+ years of hands-on CNC Swiss machining experience in manufacturing
  • Strong programming ability in G-code/M-code and proficiency with CAM tools
  • Deep knowledge of Swiss machining methods, tooling, materials, and tight tolerances
  • Fluency in reading complex prints and specifications
  • Exceptional troubleshooting and continuous improvement mindset
  • Uncompromising attention to detail and quality
  • Clear communicator with leadership experience mentoring others
  • Safety-first attitude and adherence to best practices
Education

Technical certification or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.
