> Laborup · Cincinnati, United States · — · Posted 2026-07-05

**Salary:** USD 60,000–80,000

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

**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.
