Professionals in Flexible Firearm Design often encounter challenges such as balancing innovation with strict regulatory compliance and ensuring that new materials or flexible mechanisms do not compromise safety. These roles also require close collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, and legal teams to ensure that prototypes meet both functional requirements and legal standards. Staying current with technological advances and frequent prototyping are essential to overcoming these hurdles. Effective communication and a strong understanding of industry regulations help designers navigate these challenges successfully.

These skills are important to create safe, effective, and legally compliant firearm designs that meet user and industry needs.

What is Flexible Firearm Design?

Flexible Firearm Design refers to the process of creating firearms with adaptable components or modular features that allow for customization and versatility. This design approach enables users to modify aspects such as grips, stocks, barrels, and accessories to fit specific needs or preferences. It is commonly used in both civilian and military applications to enhance usability, ergonomics, and performance. Flexible Firearm Design often leverages advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing and interchangeable parts, to achieve greater adaptability.

After you apply to this job, you can share why you’re interested to jump to the top of the candidate list.

Job description

Law Weapons, a small firearms manufacturer in Aurora, IL. We build custom firearms for law enforcement and responsible citizens, do gunsmithing, and run job-shop work for other firearms companies. It's a hands-on shop — no cubicles, no committees, no slide decks. You'll work directly with me and see your parts go from CAD to chip to finished product the same week.

I'm hiring because we're growing and I need someone who can actually own parts start-to-finish, not a button-pusher.

The Job

You'll be the person who takes a part from design through finished, in-spec product on our Haas machines. That means CAD work in Fusion 360 , CAM programming, building fixtures, setting up jobs, running first articles, and holding tight tolerances. 

This is real work, not a checklist. If you like solving problems on your feet and seeing the parts you programmed walk out the door, you'll like it here.

What You'll Actually Do

- Design and revise parts in Fusion 360

- Program toolpaths (CAM) for our Haas mills and lathes

- Set up jobs, build fixtures, run first articles

- Hold tight tolerances unsupervised

- Work on custom builds, gunsmithing jobs, and contract work

- Help me improve how the shop runs

What I Need You to Have

• 3+ years hands-on programming and running Haas CNC machines (mills and/or lathes)

• 3+ years of real CAD/CAM experience in Fusion 360

- Strong G-code, fixturing, and tooling chops

- Ability to read prints and hold tight tolerances without me hovering over you

- Valid Illinois FOID card, or able to get one

- 21 or older

Nice to Have (Not Required)

- Firearms-industry experience — AR platform, pistols, suppressors, custom builds

- Gunsmithing background

- 4th- or 5th-axis experience

- Experience setting up tooling/fixturing standards in a small shop

What This Job Is Not

- Not a button-pushing role

- Not for someone who needs constant supervision

Tell me:

- What Haas models you've run

- A part you're proud of and why

- When you can start

If you've got photos of parts or fixtures you've built, bring them to the interview. That tells me more than a resume.

Benefits:

  • Employee discount
  • Flexible schedule
  • Paid Holidays
  • Ammo Perks / Employee Ammo Discount

Application Question(s):

  • How many years of hands-on experience do you have programming and operating Haas CNC machines?
  • Do you have at least 3 years of experience using both Fusion 360
  • Do you have a valid Illinois FOID card.
  • Are you 21 years of age or older?
  • Are you able to commute to Aurora, IL for an on-site, in-person job?

Company Description

Law Weapons Inc. is a small precision firearms manufacturer and CNC machine shop in Aurora, IL. We are an FFL Type 07 Manufacturer / SOT Class 2 Dealer with 30+ years of machining experience, building custom rifles, pistols, and suppressors for over 80 law enforcement departments nationwide, along with responsible citizens.
We run a 7-machine Haas CNC facility doing custom builds, gunsmithing, and contract manufacturing for other firearms companies. No cubicles, no committees, no slide decks — just real shop work where you can see what you built leave the door the same week you started it.
Our team is small, our work is precise, and our standards are high. If you take pride in your craft, you'll fit in.
