Filger Manufacturing has produced precision components for aerospace, medical, and space programs for more than 70 years. We’re hiring a Senior Swiss CNC Setup Machinist to independently set up and operate our STAR screw machines using Fanuc controls.
This role is primarily focused on complex setup and production. Programming is a smaller part of the job, typically involving approximately 5 to 10 new parts per year. The shift starts at 6:00 a.m., with overtime available based on workload.
What you’ll do
- Independently perform complex setups on STAR Swiss CNC machines
- Operate STAR machines using Fanuc controls
- Produce close-tolerance aerospace components to tolerances as tight as +/- .0002
- Take jobs from setup and first article through the full production run
- Make offsets and program changes as needed
- Program occasional new parts using Mastercam or comparable software
- Read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, and job travelers
- Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, CMM equipment, gauges, and eye loupes
- Troubleshoot machine, tooling, programming, and quality issues
- Assist with training and overseeing STAR machine operators
- Maintain production goals without compromising quality
- Keep machines and work areas clean and organized
What we’re looking for
- At least 5 years of CNC setup and operation experience
- Direct experience with STAR, Citizen, Tsugami, or comparable Swiss-type CNC machines
- Strong experience with Fanuc controls
- Experience performing complex setups and producing tight-tolerance components
- Aerospace, medical, or similarly regulated precision-manufacturing experience
- Ability to independently identify and correct setup, tooling, offset, programming, and quality issues[4:08 PM]- CNC programming experience; Mastercam experience is preferred but not required
- Strong blueprint-reading and precision-measurement skills
- Ability to help train and support other operators
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds, stand for extended periods, and work safely in a machine-shop environment
- Ability to pass a basic background check and employment-reference review
Benefits include medical insurance after 60 days, dental and life insurance after 90 days, a 401(k), profit sharing, and a year-end bonus.
Join a stable, skilled team working on demanding aerospace, medical, and space components!!
