CNC Programmer

About the role

We're a well-established Iowa machine shop running high-end 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC equipment, and we're looking for a CNC Programmer who wants ownership of their work from screen to finished part.

This is a blended office-and-floor role. You'll write your programs, then prove them out yourself at the machine before handing clean, validated programs and setups off to leads and operators. We want someone who takes the reins and runs with it – not someone who needs to be walked through every step.

What you'll do

• Program complex parts for 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining centers.
• Prove out your own programs at the machine, dialing in setups, tooling, and offsets before release.
• Hand off documented, repeatable programs and setup sheets to leads and operators.
• Select tooling and workholding strategies that balance cycle time, finish, and tool life.
• Troubleshoot and continuously improve existing programs on the floor.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production to get parts right the first time.

What we're looking for

• Experience programming multi-axis CNC – or strong programming aptitude paired with a genuinely hands-on, get-it-done mindset.
• Comfortable moving between the office and the shop floor; you'd rather prove it at the machine than assume it works.
• Self-directed problem solver who takes ownership and figures things out without hand-holding.
• Solid understanding of GD&T, machining fundamentals, tooling, and fixturing.
• Ability to read and interpret complex prints and models.
• Drive to make the process better, not just run it as-is.
• Highly competitive hourly wage, depending on experience.
• Sign-on bonus.
• Day shift, on-site.
• Full benefits package including health coverage, paid time off, and retirement plan.
• Stable, growing, family-owned shop with modern, high-end equipment.
