Job Description
Are you looking to grow your manufacturing career with a stable, sound, and family-oriented company? J&J Machine Inc. is seeking a dependable CNC Programmer to join our growing team. In this role, you won't just run parts—you will perform complete setups from scratch.

Position Overview: CNC Programmer
As a CNC Programmer at J&J Machine, you are the brain of our manufacturing process. You won't be writing repetitive, basic code; you will be utilizing advanced CAD/CAM software to optimize toolpaths for complex 5-axis geometries, multi-axis Swiss turn configurations, and high-precision milling centers. We offer an environment where your technical problem-solving skills are valued, your creativity is encouraged, and your career stability is secure.
While other machine shops shy away from difficult parts, J&J Machine excels at them. We have built a reputation of excellence for machining exotic plastics and precious/refractory metals (such as Titanium, Inconel, and Hastelloy) to extremely close tolerances.
Our shop floor is driven by cutting-edge machining capabilities including:
- Vertical & Horizontal Milling Capabilities
- 5-Axis Milling Capabilities
- Swiss Machining Capabilities
- Turning Capabilities
See facilities list here: - us/facilities/facility -list/
Key Responsibilities
- Program & Optimize: Develop, write, and optimize CNC programs for multi-axis equipment based on our core machining capabilities.
- Setup & Operation Support: Assist in setting up and operating CNC machines when validating new programs.
- Material Handling: Load and unload materials as needed during testing and production phases.
- Technical Interpretation: Read and interpret complex blueprints, technical drawings, and engineering models.
- Quality Inspection: Inspect parts using precision measuring tools to ensure they meet exact customer specifications.
- Safety & Maintenance: Follow all safety procedures, maintain equipment, and keep the work area organized.
- Collaboration: Work closely with setup machinists, operators, and team members to meet critical production deadlines.
Qualifications
- Age Requirement: Must be at least 18 years old.
- Experience: Previous CNC programming and advanced machining experience preferred.
- Technical Skills: Superior ability to read blueprints, interpret GD&T, and use precision measuring tools.
- Attention to Detail: Strong attention to detail with an uncompromising focus on quality.
- Soft Skills: Dependable, team-oriented, with great communication skills.
- Physical Demands: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
What We Offer
- Growth & Learning: Continuous on-the-job training to advance your programming skillset.
- Stability: A stable, growing company with advanced career potential in a modern shop.
- Culture: A family-oriented, supportive team environment.
- Compensation: Competitive pay based on experience with ample overtime opportunities.
Benefits
- Health, Dental, and Life Insurance
