Job Description

We’re hiring an NC Programmer to engineer complete manufacturing processes for the aerospace and defense programs we support. This site is unique—we focus heavily on high-precision CNC gantry work, utilizing 3, 4, 5, and 6-axis machines with multi-heads to produce large-scale, complex pieces. You won't just be writing code; you’ll be designing the manufacturing process from the ground up, including fixture design, CAM programming, and process optimization.

Because these parts go into mission-critical systems tied to national security, the standards are incredibly high. We need a high-end programmer who is highly proficient with SolidWorks, Mastercam, CATIA, and Vericut to support our prime contracts. If you want a role where your programming directly translates to aerospace innovation—and where you can build a long-term career tackling massive, tight-tolerance parts—let's talk.

Compensation

  • Base Pay: $40 – $48 / hour
  • Overtime: 5-15 hours / week is typical

Shift

  • 1st: 5:00am - 1:00pm

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • 401(k) with match
  • PTO

Responsibilities:

  • Engineer complete manufacturing processes for mechanical parts, light assemblies, and large-scale gantry CNCs.
  • Develop, write, and optimize programs for 3, 4, 5, and 6-axis CNC machines.
  • Utilize Vericut software to simulate, verify, and optimize toolpaths (a strict requirement for our Boeing and prime aerospace contracts).
  • Create designs and CAD drawings for fixtures, workstations, and related manufacturing devices.
  • Review engineering documents (drawings, CAD models, specs) for manufacturability and assess the impact of engineering changes on fixtures and processes.
  • Support manufacturing process quoting and provide technical assistance/buy-off for internal teams and design companies.
  • Apply industrial engineering problem-solving techniques to improve productivity, efficiency, and continuous process optimization.
  • Research, document, and troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues on the floor to maintain quality and throughput.

Requirements

Qualifications:

Technical

  • 5 to 6 years of relevant NC/CNC programming experience in a precision aerospace environment.
  • Mandatory experience using Vericut software for program simulation and transition.
  • High proficiency in CAM software (Mastercam and CATIA required).
  • High proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks required).
  • Strong background programming for multi-axis CNC machines (experience with large Cincinnati gantry machines is a massive differentiator).
  • Previous experience working with Boeing or other major aerospace primes is highly preferred.
  • Confidence interpreting complex engineering drawings, CAD models, and customer specifications.
  • Mastery of basic math, strong computer skills, and an excellent attention to detail.
  • High school diploma or equivalent, plus specialized training in programming/machining.
  • Ability to handle the physical requirements of the role, including extended screen time and potentially long hours.

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.
