Job Description

We're hiring a Wire EDM Programmer / Machinist for our precision medical machine shop.

You'll program, set up, and run wire EDM machines on high-mix, low-volume jobs, machining complex medical parts to tight tolerances. You'll own each job from print to first-piece inspection — programming the cut, designing and building the fixturing, indicating parts in, and running the machine. You'll also set up and run CNC mills and lathes, often operating multiple machines at once.

You don't need to walk in able to run every machine. We hire for fundamentals and teach the rest.

Why Join Us

  • Hone Your Craft: Master wire EDM, 5-axis, mill-turn, and Swiss-style machining under one roof
  • Own the Whole Process: Program, fixture, cut, and inspect your work, start to finish
  • Free Medical: 100% company-paid medical care

Hiring on 1st Shift

  • Monday - Friday

Compensation

  • $70-$75k / yr
  • Standard 50 hour week (automatic overtime)
  • Paid hourly

Responsibilities

  • EDM Programming: Program wire paths, skim passes, tapers, and offsets from prints.
  • Fixture Design: Design and build EDM workholding for low-volume medical parts.
  • EDM Setups: Square and indicate fixtures, pick up edges, thread wire.
  • CNC Setups: Independent setups and fixture changeouts on mills and lathes.
  • Multi-Machine Operation: Run EDM alongside mills and lathes at the same time.
  • Inspection: First-piece inspections using gages, CMMs, and Keyence vision systems.
  • Documentation: Log dimensional data and reports in Epicor MRP.
  • Maintenance: Maintain coolants, dielectric water, wire, guides, and filters daily.

Requirements

  • CAD/CAM EDM programming: Esprit, Mastercam, or PEPS
  • Makino, Sodick, Mitsubishi, Fanuc, or GF wire EDM experience

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.
