Job Description

Job Description

Ready to Reimagine Machining?

Do you see a drawing and instantly map out the tools, workholding, code, and checks needed to make it run flawlessly—again and again? Join CCT Enterprises as our Manufacturing Methods Engineer — CNC & Swiss Turning and turn that instinct into stable, scalable production.

Let’s Start With a Few Questions

• Can you transform complex prints and tight tolerances into clean, efficient CNC programs?
• Do you enjoy proving out on the floor—tuning feeds, speeds, and toolpaths—until the cycle just sings?
• Are you comfortable writing work instructions, training operators, and locking in repeatable setups?
• Do you thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and problem-solving is the norm?
• Are you eager to fold in automation and AI-assisted tools to boost programming speed and consistency?

What You’ll Tackle

• Own new part introductions: strategy, tooling, fixturing, CNC code, setup, and production launch.
• Program and set up CNC lathes, Swiss turning machines, and milling centers.
• Root-cause and resolve dimensional, surface finish, and tool-life issues on active jobs.
• Optimize existing processes to improve throughput, quality, and consistency while reducing cost.
• Create and update process documentation and step-by-step work instructions.
• Train operators and setup technicians on both new and revised methods.
• Evaluate manufacturability and cycle times to support accurate quoting for incoming work.
• Partner with Quality and Production to stabilize processes and sustain capability.
• Identify opportunities for automation and continuous improvement across the cell.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in CNC manufacturing environments.
• Depth in turning, Swiss machining, and/or milling, with proven CNC setup and programming skills.
• Programming tools: Mastercam and/or ABILE preferred.
• CAD: 2D and 3D experience; VISI and/or SolidWorks is a plus.
• Strong grasp of machining science—feeds/speeds, tooling selection, workholding, and process design.
• Understanding of materials, cost drivers, and high-efficiency precision manufacturing methods.
• Quality literacy: APQP, PPAP, ISO, CAR, SPC.
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and systematic in approach.
• Bonus: exposure to automation or robotic manufacturing.

How We Work

• We value ownership, initiative, and teamwork across Machining, Quality, Production, Sales, and leadership.
• We follow disciplined systems while staying agile in a growing environment.
• We develop people through hands-on collaboration and clear documentation.

Rewards & Support

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Education assistance / tuition reimbursement
• On-the-job training and professional development
• Benefits begin after 60 days of employment
