Siemens Conversational CNC Lathe Programmer-Machinist (Fryer Equipment) Santa Fe Machine Inc - 1.0 Fontana, CA Job Details $22 - $32 an hour 7 hours ago Qualifications Mechanical blueprint interpretation Machine setup Equipment setup (production tasks) Blueprint specification interpretation Machining fixtures Industrial equipment adjustment Machining tool setup Mid-level CAM software Manufacturing process inspections CNC quality inspection Holding fixtures proficiency CNC G-code Programming Milling machines Visual inspection for quality control Machine finishing Equipment adjustment (production tasks) Full Job Description Day in the Life You begin at a Fryer CNC lathe equipped with a Siemens control, reviewing prints and detailed instructions for a unique build. You set tools, dial in workholding, and create an on-machine conversational program. As machining progresses, you measure, tweak offsets, restart the program mid-stream when needed, and finish with careful deburring and self-inspection. No two days look the same—most assignments are one-of-a-kind, and a production "run" rarely exceeds five pieces. What You'll Work On Precision injection molding and extrusion screws for plastic manufacturing equipment

Materials:

alloy steel, tool steel, and high-temperature alloys such as Inconel Size range: from approximately 1" OD x 20" length up to 10" OD x 25' length Core Responsibilities Set up the Fryer CNC lathe and perform on-machine conversational programming (Siemens) Execute machining operations, adjust tooling/offsets, and restart programs mid-cycle when required Deburr and perform in-process and final inspections of your own work Interpret and follow prints and detailed job instructions Assist on conventional equipment as needed: knee mills, horizontal boring mills, and manual lathes What Makes This Role Different This is not a push-button environment. Programs are rarely run start-to-finish without interaction. You'll continuously engage with the machine and the part—making adjustments that directly influence quality and outcomes. What You Bring CNC programming proficiency Strong CNC machine setup and changeover skills Solid manual machining capabilities Equipment & Tech You'll Use Fryer CNC Lathe with Siemens control (2-4 axis) CAM software Conventional knee mills, horizontal boring mills, and manual lathes
