CNC Machinist

Where would you like to shape the success of your future career: At a worldwide leading manufacturer of process measuring and control technology? In a family- owned company that values its more than 3,700 employees in more than 30 countries and sees them all as individuals? In a team that breaks new ground with courage and passion? 

Did you answer „Yes“ three times? Then it is time for us to make your acquaintance. 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T callouts, and manufacturing instructions to perform accurate machining operations.
• Perform complete setup, operation, adjustment, and basic programming adjustments of CNC and manual machines for production runs.
• Consistently meet or exceed daily/shift production goals while maintaining quality standards.
• Perform initial dimensional inspections and in-process quality verifications to verify product conformity throughout the manufacturing process utilizing precision metrology instrumentation. Proficiency in calculating target dimensions and compensation offsets through trigonometric functions is required.
• Quickly identify machining issues, tooling wear, or equipment failures, and take immediate corrective action to minimize downtime.
• Accurately document production metrics, including output volumes, material scrap rates, equipment downtime, and additional critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) manufacturing systems.
• Actively collaborate with production leads, engineers, and maintenance personnel to resolve bottlenecks and optimize production flow.
• Monitor tooling life, recommend tool changes, and adjust feeds/speeds using High Efficiency Milling (HEM) calculation formulas to maintain production efficiency that aligns with our global strategy.
• Participate in shift handoffs and team huddles to ensure smooth communication across shifts.
• Support 5S, lean manufacturing initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts aimed at increasing throughput and reducing costs.
• Crosstrain and assist in multiple work centers or machines as needed to meet production demands.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and clean work area in compliance with company and OSHA standards.
• Must be able to work overtime as required.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Technical Trade School or machining apprenticeship certification preferred.
• 5+ years of hands-on machining experience in a high-volume production environment (medical, aerospace, automotive, or industrial sectors preferred).
• Advanced knowledge of CNC controls (Fanuc, Siemens, and Heidenhain) and manual machining operations.
• Strong understanding of blueprint reading, GD&T, SPC (Statistical Process Control), and in-process inspection methods.
• Familiarity with production scheduling systems (ERP/MRP) and electronic data entry a plus.
• Ability to interpret complex work instructions and adjust processes to meet shifting production priorities.
• Strong commitment to safety, quality, and meeting daily/shift production goals.
• Ability to work overtime, weekends, and multiple shifts as production needs dictate.

In return, we offer you exciting and challenging responsibilities, diverse perspectives with a high degree of individual freedom and a corporate culture that encourages you to use it.
