What are the responsibilities and job description for the CNC Machinist position at Laborup?
Overview
We're hiring CNC Machinists for our aerospace and defense manufacturing facility in the Cincinnati area.
We don't run high-volume small parts. We machine medium-to-large components, often unique fabricated weldments and castings in advanced materials, for top-tier defense and aerospace programs, in a climate-controlled shop.
You'll set up and run 3- and 4-axis DMG Mori and Mori Seiki mills and Doosan lathes with live tooling, all on FANUC controls. Every job needs its own setup and prove-out, and we train fundamentals-strong machinists on our equipment and proprietary processes.
Why Join Us
- Hone Your Craft: Cross-train toward 5-axis mills, VTLs, HBMs, and Gantry mills.
- Aerospace & Defense: Machine medium-to-large parts for top-tier defense programs.
- Financial Upside: Unlimited overtime, employee ownership, guaranteed 60-day review.
Compensation
- $27–$40/hr
- Unlimited optional overtime - guaranteed 50 hours
- Up to $115k / hr
- 60-day review
Hiring on 1st and 2nd Shift
- 1st Shift: 5:00 AM – 3:30 PM (M-F)
- 2nd Shift: 5:00 PM – 3:30 AM (M-F)
What You'll Run
- Mills: 3- and 4-axis DMG Mori, Mori Seiki, and Makino machining centers
- Lathes: Doosan horizontal lathes with live tooling
- Materials: Fabricated weldments, castings, and advanced materials
- Also on the floor: Large-format 5-axis mills, Horizontal Boring Mills (HBMs), Vertical Turning Lathes (VTLs), and Gantry mills — cross-training available
You don't need experience on every machine here. Bring strong machining fundamentals and we'll train you on our equipment and proprietary processes.
Responsibilities
- Setups: Independently set up production mills, horizontal lathes, and machining centers.
- FANUC Controls: Read G-code, catch programming errors, set offsets, run prove-outs.
- Blueprints: Interpret multi-view prints, section views, and GD&T to establish datums.
- Weldments & Castings: Build the unique setups these parts need versus bar stock.
- Rigging: Safely rig, handle, and machine medium-to-large format parts.
- Cross-Training: Learn advanced techniques and new machines from senior machinists.
