CNC Swiss Programmer

The CNC Swiss Programmer role offers an exciting and challenging opportunity to leverage advanced technical expertise in CNC Swiss-type machining and programming. This position focuses on the creation, modification, and optimization of CNC programs for complex Swiss-machined components manufactured from a variety of metals and plastics. The CNC Swiss Programmer will play a pivotal role in ensuring the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and safety in a dynamic manufacturing environment, while also providing leadership and mentorship to machinists and fellow programmers.

Exposure to the aerospace or medical device sectors is highly valued, and candidates will have the opportunity to expand their leadership skills as the role progresses toward a supervisory capacity.

As a CNC Swiss Programmer, you will be responsible for developing and refining CNC programs for multi-axis Swiss machinery, collaborating closely with a team of skilled machinists and engineers. The position requires hands-on programming proficiency, a collaborative mindset, and a commitment to continuous improvement. You will be tasked with designing specialized tooling and fixtures, managing tooling life cycles, and supporting stable, high-volume, lights-out production operations.

In addition, the CNC Swiss Programmer will contribute significantly to process documentation and the development of standard operating procedures, ensuring consistency and operational excellence throughout the production lifecycle.

The CNC Swiss Programmer role is ideal for candidates with a strong foundation in setting up and programming CNC Swiss machines, particularly those with experience using Citizen, Star, or Tornos equipment. Proficiency in CAM software such as Esprit, Part Maker, SolidCAM, or Mastercam is essential, as is a thorough understanding of multi-axis milling and advanced machining techniques. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to machine and inspect intricate parts made from challenging materials such as PEEK, titanium, aluminum, stainless steel, and Inconel.

The role also requires a solid grasp of G-code programming and design for manufacturability (DFM/DFMA) principles, as well as a collaborative, communicative approach to team development and knowledge sharing.

Located in Hatboro, PA, this full-time opportunity offers a supportive work environment within a region recognized for its strong manufacturing heritage and access to major industry hubs. While this is an on-site role, candidates from across the United States are encouraged to apply, and relocation assistance is available for qualified individuals.
