About this role

At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.

We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.

We design, machine, print, and build faster than anyone else in the industry—and we’re looking for machinists who thrive in high-performance environments and want to be part of the team that’s redefining what’s possible in advanced manufacturing.
We value initiative and attitude and are building a team of outstanding individuals who take pride in their work, enjoy mentoring and learning from others, and are eager to tackle any challenge.

What You’ll Do:

  • Set up and operate 3- and 5-axis CNC machines, including either Zimmerman, HAAS mills, and Lathes.
  • Run both billet and non-traditional stock (e.g., 3D prints, foam, castings).
  • Collaborate with engineering to provide real-time DFM feedback and drive rapid iteration.
  • Occasionally work with LFAM 3D printers and get hands-on with hybrid manufacturing workflows.
  • Perform post-process and in-process inspection of molds, tooling, and final parts using standard metrology tools.
  • Move quickly between R&D prototypes and low-rate production runs.
  • Communicate actively across teams—engineering, composites, inspection, and operations.

    • Who You Are:

  • Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with!
  • You take ownership of your work and always bring a “get it done” attitude.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where speed matters.
  • You take pride in high-quality output and speak up when something isn’t right.
  • 5+ years of CNC machining experience including setup, tooling, and troubleshooting.
  • 3+ years' operating 5-axis gantry mills.
  • Strong knowledge of G and M code and CNC operations.
  • Familiarity with inspection tools like calipers, micrometers, and height gauges.
  • Ability to lift 50 lbs, stand for long periods and work hands-on in a production setting.
  • Willingness to learn new machines, processes, and tech on the fly.

    • Bonus Points:

  • Background in aerospace, defense, or motorsport tooling and mold making.
  • Experience machining from complex or non-rectangular stock (e.g. foam blocks, prints, castings).
  • Comfortable with Siemens or HAAS controllers.
  • Past work in both R&D/prototype and production environments.
  • Exposure to 3D printers (any type), hybrid workflows, or additive-subtractive processes.
  • CAM experience with Tebis, Fusion, or ESPRIT.
  • CAD familiarity with NX, SolidWorks, or CATIA.
