Manufacturing / Production
CNC Machinist, Manufacturing Engineer
We’re partnering with a growing precision machining manufacturer seeking a hands-on Tooling Engineer / CNC Process Engineer to work directly on the shop floor supporting Swiss CNC machining operations.
This is not a desk-heavy engineering position. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being at the machine
, developing tooling strategies, improving processes, troubleshooting difficult jobs, and working alongside machinists and operators to make production run better.
- Develop and optimize tooling strategies for Swiss CNC machining
- Select cutting tools, inserts, holders, speeds, and feeds
- Work hands-on at the machine during setup, prove-out, and troubleshooting
- Improve cycle times, tool life, quality, and overall process capability
- Troubleshoot chatter, finish, tolerance, tooling, and machining issues
- Support new-job launches and process development
- Read complex blueprints and GD&T
- Make programming and process adjustments as needed
- Train and support machinists and operators on the shop floor
- Drive continuous improvement throughout the machining process
- Strong background in Swiss CNC machining
- Hands-on experience with tooling, setups, troubleshooting, and process development
- Experience programming or editing CNC programs
- Knowledge of Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Tornos, or similar Swiss equipment
- Strong understanding of tooling, speeds/feeds, GD&T, and tight-tolerance machining
- Esprit experience is a plus
- Aerospace, medical, or other high-precision manufacturing experience is a plus
- Someone who would rather be on the floor solving machining problems than sitting behind a desk all day
- $75K–$110K
- 4-day workweek
- Modern Swiss CNC equipment
- Opportunity to directly influence tooling, processes, cycle times, and production performance
- Growing precision machining environment
Shift: Monday–Thursday, 5:00 AM–3:00 PM
Salary: $75,000–$110,000 DOE
