Do you want to use your CNC experience in a technically analytical role, where practical machine work is combined with evaluation, problem-solving, and product development? At MAQ, you will work practically with CNC-lathe and CNC-milling, but the role lies at the intersection of CNC machining, test technology, and product development.

You will get to work with a unique, patented technology and investigate how vibration-damping tools perform during real-world machining. Through test runs, vibration measurements, and analysis, you will contribute technical conclusions used in the ongoing development of the company's products.

About the position:

This is not a traditional CNC operator role focused on repetitive series production. The role has a clear practical component, but testing, analysis, and technical problem-solving are central.

You are responsible for testing and evaluating MAQ's tools in CNC-lathe and CNC-milling with control systems from Siemens and Fanuc. Through practical test runs and vibration measurements, you investigate how tools, materials, and machine parameters affect the machining.

You analyze the results, identify causes of any vibrations, and assess which adjustments can improve the tools' function. As you become familiar with the products, you are expected to be able to make independent technical assessments and draw relevant conclusions from the test results.

You will work closely with the company's development group and contribute knowledge from practical machining to ongoing product development. The role is therefore suitable for you who want to continue working close to the CNC machines, but at the same time gain broader responsibility within testing, evaluation, and development.

MAQ is a smaller company where production and development work closely together. The role has a clear main focus, but you will also have the opportunity to help in other parts of the business and broaden your responsibility based on your competence and interest.

Tasks:

  • Test run vibration-damping tools in CNC-lathe and CNC-milling
  • Conduct vibration measurements and analyze measurement results
  • Assess the tools' function and identify possible improvements
  • Test and quality assure tools before delivery
  • Participate in the development and evaluation of new products
  • Share observations and technical conclusions with the company's development group
  • Perform cylindrical grinding in a manual Studer machine
  • Contribute to other parts of the business based on need, competence, and interest

The work is performed on-site at MAQ's premises in Saltsjö-Boo.

We are looking for you who:

  • Have practical work experience as a CNC operator
  • Have an understanding of cutting machining in lathe and/or milling
  • Can work independently and have the ability to assess the result of a machining
  • Have good knowledge of English

It is meritorious if you have experience in CNC-programming or have worked with control systems from Siemens or Fanuc. Experience in testing, measurement technology, cylindrical grinding, or product development is also valuable. There is no requirement for a specific educational background; rather, your practical experience and technical understanding are the most important.

To thrive in the role, we believe you are curious and enjoy understanding why something works, or does not work. You want to do more than just set up and run the machine and are motivated by analyzing results, trying new solutions, and contributing to the development of both tools and working methods. Since MAQ is a smaller company, it is also important that you have a positive and flexible attitude and enjoy close collaboration and varied tasks.
