CNC Swiss Operator | Up to $2,500 Hiring Bonus
About The Position
Our CNC Swiss Operators help manufacture mission-critical precision components used in medical device, aerospace, defense, space exploration, and high-tech applications. This is not button-pushing work. You’ll run Swiss CNC machines that produce small, complex, tight-tolerance parts where accuracy matters at every step. You’ll load material, monitor production, change tools, adjust offsets, inspect parts during the run, and help keep machines moving safely and consistently. If you take pride in clean setups, stable processes, good parts, and a machine that hums along like it knows the assignment, this role belongs on your radar.

- Ability to read blueprints, part prints, setup sheets, and basic GD&T callouts
- Understanding of CNC / NC code
- Ability to use basic inspection tools such as micrometers, calipers, indicators, pin gauges, thread gauges, plug gauges, or optical comparators
- Experience making tool changes and offset adjustments
- Ability to identify and troubleshoot issues with size, finish, burrs, tool wear, material movement, or part consistency
- High school diploma or equivalent
- U.S. citizen or have a valid Green Card (ITAR Requirement)
- Must execute a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (NDA)
