Job Description

We are hiring for a skilled CNC Programmer for our high-spec aerospace manufacturing operation who will develop the manufacturing processes for mission-critical parts used in advanced defense and semiconductor applications. This is an opportunity to do some of the best work of your life and continuously expand your skill set. You won’t just be sitting behind a screen generating G-code; you will be tackling advanced 5-axis work, navigating the complexities of exotic materials, and pushing the limits of creative workholding and fixturing.

We are looking for someone with a true machinist's mindset—a programmer who has spent actual time at the spindle setting up and running machines, not just a "pure computer guy." You will serve as the crucial link between engineering and the shop floor, driving continuous improvement and ensuring our operators are set up for absolute success.

Compensation

  • Base Pay: $80,000 - $95,000
  • Bonus: Eligible for a 7.5% annual bonus

Benefits:

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

Responsibilities:

  • Advanced CNC Programming: Develop, write, and optimize complex programs for CNC Mills (including advanced 5-axis work) using NX or Mastercam.
  • Tooling & Fixturing Design: Engineer, design, and implement creative workholding, fixturing, and tooling solutions to ensure precision and repeatability on complex aerospace and semiconductor components.
  • Shop Floor Execution: Work directly with machinists on the floor to prove out programs, assist with complex setups, and ensure seamless execution of your manufacturing plans.
  • Process Documentation: Develop clear, comprehensive aircraft fabrication, assembly, and installation work instructions to guide the production floor.
  • Continuous Improvement: Utilize systematic problem-solving and Lean Manufacturing principles to drive cost reduction, minimize downtime, and optimize cycle times.
  • Root Cause Analysis: Investigate and troubleshoot dimensional, tooling, and process issues on the floor to perform root cause corrective action.
  • Engineering Liaison: Evaluate engineering changes, interpret complex drawings, and recommend new equipment or processes to improve safety, capacity, and reliability.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  • Experience: Bachelor’s degree with 2–4 years of experience, OR 5+ years of relevant NC/CNC programming experience.
  • Machining Foundation: 3+ years of hands-on CNC machinist and setup experience is strictly required; you must know how to run the machines you program.
  • Software Fluency: High proficiency in CAD/CAM programming using NX or Mastercam (GibbsCam and CNC Lathe programming are strong pluses).
  • Technical Expertise: Proven experience with advanced 5-axis machining, complex GD&T, and working with exotic materials.
  • Problem Solver: Exceptional ability to identify issues in a fast-paced environment and develop technical, alternative solutions quickly.
  • Communication: Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to translate complex engineering requirements into actionable work instructions for the shop floor.
  • Physical Requirements: Ability to handle the physical demands of the role, including extended screen time, long periods of sitting, and potentially long hours to meet critical customer delivery schedules.

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.
