Company: Camtool, Inc.
Location: Muncie, Indiana
Job Type: Full-Time
Pay Range: $35-$45/hr (based on experience)

Why This Role Exists

Camtool is a small shop working to build out its own in-house Swiss capability. Rather than splitting programming, setup, and running across multiple people, they need one experienced Swiss machinist who can own all three independently - programming in PartMaker, setting up jobs, and running production - and help train others as the department grows.

This is a chance to shape a Swiss department from the ground up rather than simply staff an existing one.

The Work You'll Be Doing

• Program Swiss CNC lathes in PartMaker from customer prints and specs
• Set up and run Swiss lathes from your own and established programs
• Develop setup sheets and manage tooling and tool life
• Edit programs and adjust offsets to dial in cycle time, chip control, and tool usage
• Analyze job travelers to determine operation sequence, tooling, feeds, and speeds
• Perform in-process and final inspection using precision measuring tools
• Troubleshoot machining, programming, and quality issues independently
• Help train and mentor other machinists as Camtool builds out its Swiss capability
• Identify cost-reduction opportunities and implement process improvements
• Accurately document work orders, inspection records, and maintenance logs

This is an all-around setup, run, and programming role - you'll own the job from print to finished part.
