Swiss CNC Turning Operator — Medical Devices

Build precision that changes lives

Picture your day starting at a clean, temperature-controlled workstation. You review setup sheets and prints, load material, and bring a Star CNC Swiss lathe to life. You dial in offsets, perform tool changes, and check first-piece dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and an optical comparator. Throughout the shift, you log inspections, maintain traceability, and keep to 5S standards—collaborating with engineering and quality to fine-tune process capability. At the end of the day, you leave knowing the implants you produced meet exacting medical device tolerances.

Role Highlights

• Set up, run, and troubleshoot Star CNC Swiss lathes to manufacture precision medical implants.
• Make offset corrections, replace tooling, and adjust parameters to hold tight tolerances reliably.
• Interpret blueprints, setup documentation, and work instructions to meet customer specs.
• Inspect parts using micrometers, calipers, gauges, and optical comparators; verify GD&T callouts.
• Complete daily and routine preventive maintenance to keep equipment in peak condition.
• Document production activity: first-piece inspection logs, maintenance records, and work orders.
• Follow strict quality control, including identification and full traceability protocols.
• Partner with engineering and quality teams to optimize cycle times and part conformity.
• Maintain a safe, organized cell aligned with 5S and continuous improvement.
