Job Description

We’re hiring CNC Machinists for our precision machining operation supporting the rapidly growing semiconductor industry.

This is a high-mix, low-volume environment where you’ll machine a wide variety of precision components instead of running the same production part every day. You’ll have opportunities to work across CNC mills, turning centers, and mill-turn equipment while building skills that transfer across advanced manufacturing.

We’re making significant investments in both our equipment and our people, making this an excellent time to join the team. Cross-training is a core part of how we operate because it develops more versatile machinists while helping the shop stay flexible. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your setup skills, learn additional machine platforms, or expand into more advanced machining, we’ll help you continue growing your career.

Why Join Us

  • Grow Your Skills: Cross-train across mills, lathes, and mill-turn equipment.
  • High-Mix Work: Machine different precision components instead of repetitive production.
  • Career Investment: Ongoing training and advancement as the shop continues growing.
  • Overtime opportunity: Weekly optional overtime for those looking to make more money.

Shift

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.
