Job Description

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our precision machining and prototyping company.

We machine precision components used in industries ranging from defense to domestic energy, automotive, and heavy industrial processing. These parts that go into systems as diverse as jet turbines and steel mill infrastructure. The work is high-mix, low-volume: short runs, new prints, and prototyping and fabrication under the same roof.

You'll run 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling centers, standard and Swiss-style lathes, or lathes with live tooling. Some of our machinists specialize on one side of the shop and some run everything. We're interested in working with machinists ranging from recent technical school graduates to seasoned industry veterans.

Why Join Us

  • Setup to First Articles: Run your job end to end.
  • Diverse Work: High-mix, low-volume work means new setups, not just production.
  • Cross-Training: Move onto new precision machines as you prove out on current ones.

Compensation

  • G-Code: Read programs at the control to verify tooling and moves.
  • Prototypes: Machine one-off and low-volume parts from new prints.
  • First Articles: Inspect first parts before releasing the run.
  • In-Process Checks: Measure dimensions with micrometers, calipers, and indicators.
  • Tooling: Select, install, and replace cutting tools for each job.
  • Troubleshooting: Diagnose finish, size, and tool-life problems at the machine.

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
