About The Position

KMM Group is hiring an experienced CNC Swiss Programmer to support complex, tight-tolerance manufacturing for medical device, aerospace, defense, space, and high-tech customers. Swiss programming means solving real manufacturing problems on mission-critical components where precision, process control, and smart decisions matter. You will develop, modify, optimize, and support CNC Swiss programs for complex parts made from metals and engineered plastics. This is not basic button-pushing or repetitive programming work. If you are the kind of programmer who thinks beyond the code, understands how tooling, workholding, material behavior, coolant, inspection, and process stability all fit together, this role gives you room to use that knowledge.

Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, GD&T, specifications, and inspection requirements
Strong knowledge of G-code programming
Experience machining materials such as titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, Inconel, plastics, and engineered polymers
Experience with complex, tight-tolerance parts for regulated or high-spec industries
Familiarity with first article inspection, in-process inspection, setup verification, and production documentation
High school diploma or equivalent required
U.S. citizen or have a valid Green Card (ITAR Requirement)

Nice To Haves

Experience with Citizen Swiss machines preferred
