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.

Requirements

Dependable, curious, and hands-on
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
Stand and walk for extended periods throughout the workday.
Frequently use hands and fingers to operate machinery, tools, controls, gauges, and measuring instruments.
Frequently reach, grasp, handle, and manipulate small parts and tooling components.
Visually inspect parts, tooling, machine displays, blueprints, and measurement devices, including the ability to distinguish fine details and small dimensional variations.
Read and interpret written instructions, blueprints, setup sheets, inspection reports, and digital production information.
Frequently bend, stoop, kneel, crouch, and reach while loading material, changing tools, cleaning machines, and performing routine maintenance.
Lift, carry, push, or pull materials, tooling, and equipment weighing up to 25 pounds regularly and up to 50 pounds occasionally, with or without assistance.
Safely operate material handling equipment and lifting devices when required.
Work around moving mechanical equipment, cutting tools, metal chips, coolants, lubricants, and other manufacturing-related materials.
Tolerate exposure to moderate noise levels typical of a manufacturing environment while using required personal protective equipment (PPE).
Maintain regular attendance and work scheduled overtime as needed to support production requirements.
Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or have a valid Green Card.
