Senior Swiss Turning Setup Expert — Fanuc Controls

Own the setup. Elevate the run. Advance the mission.

At Filger Manufacturing, our precision parts power flight, enable care, and explore space. We’re searching for a Senior Swiss Turning Setup Expert to lead complex setups and production on STAR Swiss screw machines with Fanuc controls.

Your impact

Imagine bringing a new aerospace component online: you dissect the print and traveler, design the setup, machine the first article to +/- .0002, validate with CMM and gauges, and then steer a stable, efficient production run—adjusting offsets and refining code to keep parts perfect. You’ll do this routinely, with occasional programming of new parts (about 5–10 per year) in Mastercam or a comparable CAM package.

Core responsibilities

• Independently set up and operate STAR Swiss CNC machines (Fanuc)
• Drive jobs from setup and first article through full production
• Read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, and job travelers
• Make offsets and program edits as conditions demand
• Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, CMM equipment, gauges, and eye loupes
• Troubleshoot issues across machine, tooling, programming, and quality
• Train and oversee STAR machine operators; champion shop standards
• Meet output targets while safeguarding quality; sustain a tidy, organized area

What sets you apart

• 5+ years in CNC setup and operation
• Direct Swiss-type experience (STAR, Citizen, Tsugami, or similar)
• Fluency with Fanuc controls
• History of complex setups and ultra-precise work to +/- .0002
• Background in aerospace, medical, or other regulated precision environments
• Self-sufficient in diagnosing and correcting setup, tooling, offset, programming, and quality issues
• CNC programming capability; Mastercam experience is a plus, not a must
• Exceptional blueprint reading and precision measurement skills
• Comfort mentoring others on the floor
• Physically able to lift to 50 lbs., stand for long stretches, and follow shop safety practices
