We’re hiring a driven Manufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer to join our elite, lean engineering team in Arundel, ME. We are a high-end facility, focusing on highly complex, tight-tolerance components for the aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and oil & gas industries. Our shop produces these advanced parts through ultra-precise milling and turning operations. At its core, your role is to own all the engineering work required to make those manufacturing processes a reality, including developing machining strategies, designing custom workholding, writing flawless programs, mapping ERP routing, and driving continuous shop floor optimization.
In this role, you will own the manufacturing process from start to finish. You’ll use SolidWorks and ESPRIT CAM to program multi-axis lathes and mill-turn machines, design your own fixturing, and create highly detailed setup sheets and inspection documentation. We aren’t just looking for an academic engineer who sits behind a desk; we want someone with real, hands-on machining experience who knows how metal behaves, specifically high-temp alloys like Inconel and Titanium. If you are a self-starter who wants to work alongside seasoned machining experts, this is your home.
Note: We are highly open to out-of-state candidates and can offer a sign-on/stay bonus to assist with relocation for the right fit!

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.
