  • Set up and prove out created or modified programs using provided fixtures, models, and work instructions.
  • Interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T requirements to ensure compliance with customer specifications.
  • Review and interpret CMM results, identify potential nonconformances, and escalate issues appropriately.
  • Maintain and organize CMM programs and related documentation, as well as troubleshoot inspection issues and supporting root cause analysis efforts for dimensional discrepancies.
  • Collaborate with Quality, Engineering, and Manufacturing personnel to resolve measurement-related challenges and improve process flow.
  • May also train other inspection personnel on CMM operation and part setup specific to the programs the Programmer develops, edits, and proves out.
  • Validation activities and calibration checks must be performed to ensure CMM accuracy and reliability.



Position Requirements

  • Minimum 3-5 years of hands-on experience programming CMMs in a manufacturing environment; aerospace preferred.
  • Strong understanding of CMM setup, operation, and measurement interpretation.
  • Familiarity with programming in one or more languages: MCOSMOS (primary need), Calypso, Modus.
  • Proficient in blueprint reading, GD&T interpretation, and application of aerospace tolerances.
  • Ability to operate and maintain manual inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, height gages, etc.).
  • Effective communicator; able to interface with cross-functional teams and support floor-level issue resolution.
  • Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and documentation practices.Self-directed and dependable, with ability to work independently with minimal supervision
