Shape precision in Exeter, NH

Picture this: you arrive at our Exeter facility, review a new print, and choose the right tools and offsets to bring a complex design to life on a Swiss-type CNC lathe. You fine-tune feeds and speeds, verify dimensions in-process, and keep everything running smoothly so every part meets spec. If that sounds like your kind of day, you will thrive here.

What you will do
  • Configure and run Swiss-style CNC equipment to meet engineering drawings and specifications.
  • Dial in tooling, offsets, and parameters; monitor cycle performance and hold tight tolerances.
  • Perform routine preventive maintenance and troubleshoot issues to sustain machine uptime.
  • Conduct in-process and final inspections using micrometers, calipers, and gauges to verify compliance.
  • Work closely with engineering and production to refine setups, stabilize processes, and enhance quality.
  • Record production metrics, setup details, and maintenance actions with clear, accurate documentation.
  • Follow safety procedures and maintain an orderly, well-organized workstation.
What you bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent; machining coursework or certification preferred.
  • Hands-on background setting up and operating Swiss-type CNC machines.
  • Working knowledge of CNC programming concepts and G-code fundamentals.
  • Ability to interpret blueprints and technical drawings with confidence.
  • Skill with precision measurement tools including calipers, micrometers, and gauges.
  • Strong troubleshooting ability, keen attention to detail, and a quality-first mindset.
  • Clear communicator who collaborates well with cross-functional teams.
