Job Description

We are hiring a Machine Shop Quality Technician in Rochester, NY.

This is a precision machine shop that manufactures tight-tolerance components for the aerospace and defense industries — parts that have to be right every time. As a Quality Technician, you'll be a critical line of defense in a high-mix, low-volume environment where no two days are the same and your eye for detail directly impacts mission-critical products. You'll work closely alongside engineers and machinists and have real ownership over inspection processes.

What you'll do:

  • Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections on machined parts to the highest quality standards
  • Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T callouts, and job specifications with confidence
  • Conduct gage calibration and maintain accurate records in Gage Track software
  • Audit production quality at every phase of manufacture and document findings clearly
  • Partner with engineers and machinists on root cause analysis and continuous improvement
  • Develop and maintain detailed in-process and final inspection reports
  • Support AS9100 / ISO 9001 compliance and participate in internal audits

Requirements

  • 5+ years of quality inspection experience in a machine shop or precision manufacturing environment
  • Solid command of standard measurement tools: calipers, micrometers, CMM, height gauges, etc.
  • Strong blueprint reading skills including GD&T
  • Familiarity with AS9100 / ISO 9001 quality management systems
  • Organized, detail-obsessed, and able to manage multiple inspection queues under deadline pressure
  • High school diploma or equivalent; internal auditing experience is a plus

Benefits

  • Medical, dental & vision
  • 401(k)
  • PTO
  • Day & evening shifts available

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.
