Full Job Description CNC Swiss-Type Lathe Machinist Company:

Rusco Manufacturing (Rusco MFG. Inc.) A Day in the Life You clock in, review the day's work orders, and pull up the setup sheets. Raw bar stock is staged, tooling is verified, and your Swiss-style CNC lathe is warmed up. You load material, check offsets, and kick off the first production cycle. While the machine runs, you're on the gauges—calipers, micrometers, indicators—confirming in-process dimensions. A slight deviation? You make precise offsets and minor adjustments to keep parts on target. You record measurements, monitor cycle times, and collaborate with quality or engineering when a blueprint calls for extra scrutiny. Before the shift ends, your station is spotless, documentation is complete, and another batch of high-precision components is ready to ship. What You'll Do Operate Swiss-type CNC lathes to produce precision components in a fast-paced environment. Load raw material and unload finished parts safely and efficiently. Monitor machine operation, production cycles, and part quality throughout the run. Perform in-process and final inspections using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other precision metrology tools. Make basic offsets and machine adjustments to maintain quality and throughput. Read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, engineering drawings, and setup sheets. Follow established tooling instructions and quality procedures to ensure repeatability. Identify tooling, machine, or quality issues and promptly notify the appropriate team members. Maintain accurate production and inspection records. Keep your work area clean, organized, and compliant with safety requirements. Adhere to all company quality, safety, and production procedures. Qualifications Required 1-3+ years of CNC machining or machine operator experience (Swiss experience strongly preferred). Hands-on experience operating Swiss CNC machines is a plus. Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings and blueprints. Skilled with precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, gauges, etc.). Basic understanding of CNC processes, tooling, feeds, and speeds. High attention to detail and a strong commitment to quality. Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team. Reliable attendance and strong work ethic. Preferred Experience with Citizen, Star, Tsugami, Tornos, or Hanwha Swiss machines. Familiarity with Fanuc, Mitsubishi, or Siemens controls. Background machining stainless steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, or medical components. Knowledge of GD&T. Experience with SPC or other quality-control methodologies. Compensation & Benefits Competitive pay: $22 -$28 per hour Medical, dental, and vision insurance 401(k) with company match Paid time off and holidays Overtime opportunities Training and advancement opportunities Why Rusco MFG.
