Job Description

We're hiring Senior CNC Machinists for our precision machine shop serving the aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductor industries.

This is a weekend day-shift position where you work 36 hours but are paid for 40.

You'll machine tight-tolerance stainless steel and aluminum components across 3, 4, and 5-axis CNC mills and 2 and 3-axis CNC lathes. We're open to dedicated mill machinists, lathe machinists, or experienced machinists capable of running both.

Weekend Day Shift:

  • 36 hours worked — paid for 40 hours
  • Day shift
  • Condensed weekend schedule
  • Full-time position and compensation
  • Additional overtime opportunities available

Compensation:

  • $30–$40/hr
  • Guaranteed 40 hours of pay for 36 hours worked
  • Optional overtime opportunities
  • Additional flexibility depending on experience and technical capabilities

Why Join Us:

  • 36 for 40 Schedule: Work a condensed weekend schedule while receiving 40 hours of pay.
  • High-End Machining: Work on tight-tolerance components supporting aerospace, defense, medical, and semiconductor applications.
  • Growing Operation: Join a shop under new ownership with continued investment in equipment, technology, and people.
  • Technical Environment: This is a setup-focused machining role, not simply loading and unloading production parts.

What You'll Run:

  • CNC Mills: 3, 4, and 5-axis
  • CNC Lathes: 2 and 3-axis horizontal
  • Controls: Fanuc, including machine-side G-code edits
  • Materials: Stainless steel and aluminum
  • Work: Complex, tight-tolerance precision components

Requirements

  • Independently perform setups on 3–5-axis mills and/or 2–3-axis CNC lathes.
  • Interpret complex blueprints, GD&T, and work instructions.
  • Select tooling and establish work and tool offsets.
  • Make machine-side G-code edits and offset corrections on Fanuc controls.
  • Prove out first parts and make necessary adjustments before releasing jobs to production.
  • Hold tight tolerances throughout production runs.
  • Perform in-process inspection using micrometers, calipers, indicators, bore gauges, and other manual inspection equipment.
  • Troubleshoot machining, tooling, dimensional, and setup issues at the machine.

Benefits

Required

  • 3+ years of CNC setup experience on mills and/or lathes
  • Ability to independently take a machine from setup through production
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge
  • Hands-on G-code editing experience
  • Experience making machine-side offsets and program adjustments
  • Proven ability to hold tight tolerances
  • Strong proficiency with manual inspection equipment

Preferred

  • Aerospace, defense, medical, or semiconductor machining experience
  • 4-axis or 5-axis milling experience
  • Hardinge, Doosan, or Swiss-style CNC lathe experience
  • Experience working in high-mix, tight-tolerance precision machining environments

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.
