PERMANENT, FULL-TIME OPENINGS - HIRING 2 EXPERIENCED CNC SWISS PROGRAMMER / SETUP MACHINISTS

Quantum Precision is expanding its Swiss department and adding two permanent, full-time programmer/setup machinists. These are long-term positions created as we grow our customer base and production capacity—not temporary, contract, or seasonal roles.

Join a growing precision manufacturing operation with a steady long-term workload, full benefits, and consistent overtime available. This is not an operator-only position. You must be able to independently program, fully set up, prove out, troubleshoot, and optimize Citizen or Tsugami CNC Swiss machines.

Pay: $36-$50 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated skill

Employment: Permanent, full-time

Location: West Chicago, IL

Hiring: Now

Openings: 2

Overtime: Consistent overtime available

BENEFITS

- Health insurance

- Dental insurance

- Life insurance

- Paid time off

WHY JOIN US

- Permanent, long-term career opportunity in a growing Swiss department

- Strong, steady workload as we expand our customer base and production capacity

- Challenging precision work where your programming and setup skills matter

- Consistent overtime available for candidates who want the hours

- Opportunity to improve processes and help build stable, repeatable setups

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Take parts from print through programming, complete setup, prove-out, first article, and stable production

- Program Citizen or Tsugami CNC Swiss machines from engineering drawings and specifications

- Select tooling, collets, guide bushings, and fixtures; establish feeds and speeds

- Troubleshoot programs, tooling, finish, dimensions, and process variation independently

- Optimize cycle time, tool life, quality, and production reliability

- Perform first-article inspections and make offsets or program changes as needed

- Create and maintain clear programs, setup information, and tool documentation

- Work with engineering, quality, and production as we launch new work

WHAT WE NEED

- Proven hands-on experience programming and fully setting up CNC Swiss machines

- Citizen or Tsugami machine and control experience; experience with both is a plus

- Ability to take a new part from print to a production-ready first article with minimal supervision

- Strong knowledge of tooling, speeds and feeds, offsets, tolerances, and process optimization

- Ability to read engineering drawings, GD&T, and inspection requirements

- Strong troubleshooting, measurement, and problem-solving skills

- Dependable, quality-focused, and ready to contribute in a growing, fast-paced shop

If you can take a complex Swiss part from print through an approved first article and into stable production, we want to hear from you. Apply today for more information!
