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 machine shop outside of Anaheim, CA
We machine frames and structural components for defense platforms–true large-format work, on parts most machinists never get their hands on.
If your fundamentals are strong, we'll train you on large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes.
Why Join Us
- Hone your craft: Get trained up on unique large-format gantry mills
- High-impact work: Frames and structural components for high-stakes defense platforms
- Financial impact: 45-hour weeks, additional overtime, night shift differential
Compensation
- $28–$35/hr
- 45-hour week additional optional overtime

Responsibilities
- Setups: Load and verify programs, tools, offsets, and fixtures from setup sheets
- Machining: Set up and operate CNC milling and turning centers, including large-format work
- Dimensional Accuracy: Adjust machine parameters, offsets, and tooling to hold tight tolerances
- Blueprints & GD&T: Work from complex aerospace prints and customer specifications
- Inspection: Precise measurement with calipers, micrometers, and other precision instruments
What You'll Run
- Equipment: Large-format gantry mills, 5-axis machining centers, and supporting CNC mills and lathes
- Parts: Frames and structural components for defense platforms
You don't need large-format or gantry experience. If you're a 3, 4, or 5-axis machinist with strong fundamentals and solid setup skills, we'll train you on the big machines.
