In this role, you won't just run parts—you will own the process. You will work on cutting-edge Swiss-style lathes to produce ultra-precise, micro-scale components that power world-class technology. If you have a knack for tight tolerances, microscopic details, and autonomous problem-solving, this is the place to elevate your craft.
What You Will Do
- Setup & Operation: Independently set up and operate CNC Swiss lathes on the day shift, handling tooling selection, offsets, program verification, and first-article approval.
- Micro-Precision Quality: Take ownership of product quality, performing microscopic handling and inspection of extremely small turned parts to ensure adherence to strict specifications.
- Real-Time Optimization: Make critical in-process adjustments to tooling, feeds, speeds, and offsets to maintain dimensional control and optimize cycle times.
- Troubleshooting: Proactively diagnose and fix machining issues, including tool wear, machine alarms, and surface finish flaws.
- Tool Maintenance: Grind, sharpen, and recondition custom carbide and HSS cutting tools to exact specifications.
- Shop Excellence: Maintain a lean, clean, and safe shop environment while collaborating with the team to suggest tooling upgrades and process efficiencies.
- Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience with CNC Swiss lathes, conventional lathes, or mills.
- Technical Skills: strong working knowledge of FANUC CNC controls and a proven track record of machining high-precision, small turned parts.
- Blueprint Literacy: Deep understanding of manufacturing drawings, including GD&T.
- Specialized Skills: Experience with advanced metrology tools, CNC programming, and manual carbide tool grinding/resharpening.
