CNC Machinist Programmer

$66.56k - $93.6k

J&J Machine Inc.

Job Description

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. Whether you have foundational experience in one area or want to expand your skillset across Mills, Lathes, Swiss, and Mill-Turn machines, we provide the extensive training and supportive environment you need to succeed and advance.

Serious Inquires Only 

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
  • 401(K) Plan & Profit Sharing
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) & Paid Holidays
  • Short & Long-term Disability
  • Shift differential for 2nd shift and weekend shifts
  • Tuition Reimbursement
