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.
