About The Company
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.
About the Role

CNC Programmer / Manufacturing Engineer

We're hiring a CNC Programmer for a modern, engineering-driven manufacturing company focused on aerospace, defense, and other highly complex precision-machined components. We believe great manufacturing starts with great engineering, world-class programming, and automation that allows our machinists to focus on making exceptional parts.

This is not a traditional programming role. We're looking for someone who can take ownership of the entire manufacturing process—from customer model and drawing review through process development, first article approval, and production release.

If you're currently programming complex aerospace, defense, medical device, or high-precision components and want to work with cutting-edge equipment, advanced automation, and a growing engineering-focused organization, we'd like to speak with you.

You'll have the opportunity to work with:

  • Siemens NX CAM
  • Hermle 5-Axis Machining Centers
  • Heller Horizontal Machining Centers
  • Zayer Large-Format Machining Platforms
  • DN Solutions Machining Centers
  • Siemens Sinumerik & Heidenhain Controls
  • Wenzel CMM Systems
  • Keyence Inspection Technology
  • Lang & FCS Modular Workholding
  • Haimer Tool Presetting Systems


What You'll Do:

  • Develop CNC programs using Siemens NX CAM for complex 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, simultaneous 5-axis, and mill-turn applications
  • Own manufacturing process development from model review through production release
  • Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) activities including manufacturing planning, tooling strategy, workholding concepts, setup development, and first article execution
  • Translate engineering drawings, GD&T, specifications, and customer requirements into repeatable manufacturing processes
  • Create setup sheets, tooling documentation, work instructions, and process documentation
  • Support fixture and workholding development using modular and custom fixturing solutions
  • Partner closely with machinists during prove-outs, first articles, troubleshooting, and production launches
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, setup reduction, tool life optimization, and process stability
  • Work closely with Quality, Engineering, Operations, Customers, and Suppliers to ensure successful execution of complex programs
  • Mentor machinists and junior programmers on machining strategy and process discipline
  • 10+ years of CNC programming experience in a precision manufacturing environment
  • Proven experience programming complex 5-axis and/or mill-turn machining centers
  • Expert understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, and manufacturing process development
  • Ability to take a part from model and print review through first article and production release
  • Siemens NX CAM experience
  • Aerospace, defense, medical device, or other high-precision manufacturing experience
  • Experience with AS9100 environments, first articles, and NPI programs
  • Familiarity with Siemens, Heidenhain, Fanuc, Mazak, or Okuma controls
  • Experience machining titanium, stainless steel, nickel alloys, or other difficult materials
  • Exposure to automation, probing, on-machine inspection, or lights-out manufacturing
  • Experience mentoring machinists or junior programmers
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Company-paid life insurance.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.
  • Professional development, technical training, and advancement within a growing organization
