Mace Machine LLC — Exeter, New Hampshire A day in this role It's start-up time on the shop floor. You've reviewed a new customer print for a tight‑tolerance, small‑diameter part destined for aerospace electronics. You import the model into

ESPRIT CAM

, map out live‑tooling, cross‑working, and back‑working moves, and simulate until the path is clean. You post to FANUC or Mitsubishi for a Citizen Swiss lathe , select the tooling and workholding, and head to the machine. First article runs, you measure with micrometers, indicators, gage pins, and optical inspection tools, tweak offsets, and lock in a stable, efficient single‑cycle process. You document the setup and proven method, mentor a teammate on the approach, and later sit in on a quick kaizen for setup‑reduction ideas. By day's end, the cycle time is down, quality is rock‑solid, and the process is ready for repeatable production. What you'll own Create, edit, simulate, and optimize Swiss programs in
