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

Overview

We’re hiring Production Fabricator Technicians for our precision manufacturing operation supporting the rapidly growing semiconductor industry.

In this role, you’ll fabricate precision metal tubing into finished shapes by combining machine operation with careful hands-on forming work. Rather than standing at a single station all day, you’ll rotate between several fabrication stations—including CNC bending equipment, manual forming, tack welding, inspection, and finishing—as you build the skills to support the entire department.

We’re continuing to invest in both our business and our people. Cross-training is a core part of this role, giving you the opportunity to master multiple fabrication processes while creating more variety throughout your workday. If you enjoy detailed hands-on work, take pride in craftsmanship, and appreciate quality over speed, you’ll fit in well here.

Why Join Us

  • Cross Training: Learn multiple fabrication stations throughout the department.
  • Precision Work: Build components for the semiconductor industry.
