Siemens Conversational CNC Lathe Programmer–Machinist; Fryer Equipment

Day in the Life You begin at a Fryer CNC lathe equipped with a Siemens control, reviewing prints and detailed instructions for a unique build. You set tools, dial in work holding, and create an on-machine conversational program. As machining progresses, you measure, tweak offsets, restart the program mid-stream when needed, and finish with careful deburring and self-inspection. No two days look the same—most assignments are one-of-a-kind, and a production  run  rarely exceeds five pieces.

What You'll Work On Precision injection molding and extrusion screws for plastic manufacturing equipment

Materials: alloy steel, tool steel, and high-temperature alloys such as Inconel Size range: from approximately 1  OD x 20  length up to 10  OD x 25' length

Core Responsibilities Set up the Fryer CNC lathe and perform on-machine conversational programming (Siemens)
Execute machining operations, adjust tooling/offsets, and restart programs mid-cycle when required

Deburr and perform in-process and final inspections of your own work Interpret and follow prints and detailed job instructions

Assist on conventional equipment as needed: knee mills, horizontal boring mills, and manual lathes

What Makes This Role Different This is not a push-button environment. Programs are rarely run start-to-finish without interaction. You’ll continuously engage with the machine and the part—making adjustments that directly influence quality and outcomes.

What You BringCNC programming proficiency

Strong CNC machine setup and changeover skills

Solid manual machining capabilities

Equipment & Tech You'll Use Fryer CNC Lathe with Siemens control (2–4 axis)
CAM software

Conventional knee mills, horizontal boring mills, and manual lathes
