Why This Role Exists\n

This role exists due to continued workload and the need for in-house Swiss programming expertise. Camtool is expanding its Swiss lathe capabilities and is looking for a machinist who can program, set up, and own the process from print to finished part.

You’ll play a key role in producing precision Swiss-turned components while helping improve processes, reduce costs, and support long-term manufacturing growth.

The Work You’ll Be Doing\n

In this role, you will:

\n
• Program, set up, and run Swiss CNC lathes based on customer drawings
\n
• Develop setup sheets, tooling lists, and manage tool life
\n
• Generate and edit CNC programs to improve cycle time, chip control, and tool usage
\n
• Analyze job travelers to determine operation sequence, tooling, feeds, and speeds
\n
• Perform in-process and final inspection using precision measuring tools
\n
• Collaborate with customers and internal teams on DFM improvements
\n
• Design or assist with jigs, fixtures, and workholding using 3D models
\n
• Troubleshoot machining and quality issues
\n
• Identify cost-reduction opportunities and implement process improvements
\n
• Accurately document work orders, inspection records, and maintenance logs
\n

This is a hands-on programming + setup role , not just pushing cycle start.
