This role owns Swiss machining process validation from prototype through full production and partners cross-functionally with Quality, Production, Engineering, and Supply Chain to ensure safe, scalable, repeatable, and cost-effective manufacturing processes aligned with AS9100 and ISO9001 standards.
Client Details
My client supports a manufacturing environment using advanced, high‑precision machining systems for producing complex metal components with extremely tight tolerances. The equipment combines automated, CNC‑controlled processes and specialized material‑removal techniques commonly used in medical device, electronics, aerospace, and other precision industries. The position involves working closely with process development, tooling, and quality teams to ensure reliable, repeatable, and high‑accuracy production.
Description
· Lead and own Swiss machining process development from prototype through production release.
· Develop, validate, and optimize complex CNC programs for Swiss/Citizen, Tsugami and Star machines.
· Establish standardized setup documentation, tooling libraries, and process parameters.
· Design and approve fixture, work holding, and cutting tool strategies.
· Perform root cause analysis for scrap, rework, and downtime; implement corrective actions.
· Support quoting by developing cycle times and manufacturing process strategies.
· Conduct process capability studies (Cp/Cpk) and support FAI validation activities.
· Drive Lean initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, OEE improvement, and tool life optimization.
· Mentor and provide technical guidance to programmers, setup personnel, and junior engineers
· Evaluate capital equipment and tooling investments to improve productivity and capacity.
Profile
· 7+ years of progressive Swiss CNC programming and manufacturing engineering experience.
· Advanced CAM proficiency (Mastercam, Esprit, or equivalent).
· Strong knowledge of GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
· Ability to maintain tight tolerances (±0.0001 or better).
· Knowledge of SPC, PFMEA, control plans, and AS9100/ISO9001 compliance standards.
· Proficiency in Microsoft Office and ERP systems.
· Experience in aerospace, medical, or high-precision manufacturing environments preferred.
