Aerospace Assembly Technician at Laborup

Overview

We're hiring Aerospace Assembly Technicians for our aerospace and defense manufacturing facility outside of Anaheim, CA

This is blueprint-driven structural assembly, building complex, multi-part assemblies that feed into larger aerospace and defense sub-systems. You'll work straight from engineering drawings to locate, drill, countersink, fasten, and align components to tight aerospace specifications.

The work is hands-on and precise: pneumatic drills, C-squeezes, rivet pullers, jigs and fixtures, and precision measuring instruments, with quality documentation behind everything you build.

Why Join Us

• Real aerospace craftsmanship: Blueprint-driven structural assembly, not repetitive line work
• High-impact work: Assemblies that go into high-stakes aerospace and defense sub-systems
• Financial impact: 45-hour weeks + additional optional overtime

Compensation

• $26–$30/hr
• 45-hour week + additional optional overtime
• Up to $75k/yr (including overtime)

Hiring on 1st Shift

• Monday - Friday

Responsibilities

• Blueprints: Determine detail and hardware locations from engineering drawings, mylars, and the shop router
• Layout: Locate and mark reference points and holes using jigs, templates, and measuring instruments
• Drilling & Fastening: Drill and countersink to fastener requirements; bolt, screw, and rivet components and subassemblies
• Fit-Up & Alignment: Trim, shim, and cut to fit components; position and align subassemblies in jigs and fixtures to blueprint lines and index points
• Installation: Install units, brackets, hinges, and clips into structural assemblies per blueprint and customer specifications
• Inspection: Inspect and test installed units for fit, performance, and compliance using precision measuring instruments
