Job Description

Overview

We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense machine shop outside of Anaheim, CA

We machine frames and structural components for defense platforms–true large-format work, on parts most machinists never get their hands on.

If your fundamentals are strong, we'll train you on large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes.

Compensation

  • $30–$46/hr
  • 45-hour week + additional optional overtime
  • Up to $100k/yr (including overtime)

Hiring on 2nd Shift

  • Monday - Friday

Requirements

Responsibilities

  • Setups: Load and verify programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures from setup sheets
  • Machining: Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers, including large-format work
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Adjust machine parameters, offsets, and tooling to hold tight tolerances
  • Blueprints & GD&T: Work from complex aerospace prints and customer specifications
  • Inspection: Precise measurement with calipers, micrometers, and other precision instruments

What You'll Run

  • Equipment: Large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes
  • Parts: Frames and structural components for defense platforms

You don't need large-format or gantry experience. If you're a 3, 4, or 5-axis machinist with strong fundamentals and solid setup skills, we'll train you on the big machines.

Qualifications

Requirements

  • 3+ years of CNC machining experience
  • 5-axis machining experience
  • Strong understanding of G-code and tool paths
  • Reads blueprints and GD&T
  • Runs own setups from setup sheets: programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures

  • U.S. person (citizen or permanent resident) — ITAR-regulated facility

Preferred:

  • Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
  • Large-format or gantry mill experience
  • Experience machining large structural parts

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.
