- Experience programming or editing CNC programs
- Knowledge of Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Tornos, or similar Swiss equipment
- Strong understanding of tooling, speeds/feeds, GD&T, and tight-tolerance machining
- Esprit experience is a plus
- Aerospace, medical, or other high-precision manufacturing experience is a plus
- Someone who would rather be on the floor solving machining problems than sitting behind a desk all day
- $75K–$110K
- 4-day workweek
- Monday–Thursday schedule
- Highly hands-on engineering role
- Modern Swiss CNC equipment
