CNC Swiss Machinist

We are seeking a highly skilled CNC Swiss Machinist to support the production of precision medical device components in a regulated manufacturing environment. This role requires strong technical machining ability, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality, compliance, and repeatable precision. You will operate Swiss-style CNC lathes to produce tight-tolerance, high-volume components used in critical healthcare applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up, operate, and maintain CNC Swiss-style lathes (e.g., Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Tornos)
• Manufacture complex, tight-tolerance medical device components in accordance with engineering drawings and GD&T requirements
• Perform machine setups including tooling selection, offsets, bar feed setup, and program verification
• Conduct in-process inspection using precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers, optical comparators, CMM where applicable)
• Ensure all parts meet strict dimensional and cosmetic quality standards (often ±0.0002”–0.0005” tolerances)
• Follow ISO 13485, FDA-regulated manufacturing processes, and internal quality system procedures
• Document production data, inspection results, and process adjustments in compliance with quality system requirements
• Troubleshoot machining issues and implement corrective actions to maintain quality and efficiency
• Collaborate with quality, engineering, and validation teams on process improvements and first article inspections (FAI)
• Maintain clean, controlled, and organized work environment consistent with medical device standards

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 2+ years of CNC Swiss machining experience (medical device or other high-precision manufacturing strongly preferred)
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Experience working in tight-tolerance manufacturing environments
• Familiarity with CNC controls such as Fanuc, Mitsubishi, or Swiss-specific platforms
• Proficiency with precision inspection tools and quality verification methods
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills
• Understanding of regulated manufacturing documentation and quality systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in medical device, aerospace, or other regulated industries
• Familiarity with ISO 13485, FDA QSR, or similar quality systems
• CNC programming experience (G-code or conversational Swiss programming)
• Experience with multi-axis Swiss turning centers and live tooling
• Exposure to validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ) and first article inspection processes
• Experience working in cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environments

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods in a manufacturing environment
• Must be able to lift up to 30–50 lbs occasionally
• Work in environments with coolant, metal chips, and moderate industrial noise while adhering to safety standards

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Overtime opportunities
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and holidays
• Opportunity to work in a high-growth medical device manufacturing environment
• Career advancement into setup, programming, or lead machinist roles
