Senior Swiss-Type CNC Setup and Programming Specialist

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.
