CMM / Dimensional Metrology Technician

Key Responsibilities

• Dimensional Inspection: Perform pre-production, in-process and final dimensional inspection of tooling, fixtures, fabricated components, machined parts, and assemblies.
• Operate portable metrology equipment including Hexagon ROMER Arm systems. Use optical or laser scanning systems to capture part geometry and perform CAD-to-part comparisons.
• Conduct dimensional layouts verifying location, profile, flatness, parallelism, and positional tolerances. Measure small and large sheet metal or fabricated structures, weldments, and tooling.
• Generate and maintain dimensional inspection reports, scan reports, and measurement documentation. Record objective evidence supporting quality records and audits.
• Metrology & Measurement Planning: Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and GD&T requirements to develop measurement strategies. Establish coordinate systems, datums, and alignment strategies for accurate inspection. Develop or optimize measurement routines for portable CMM and scanning equipment.
• First Article Inspection (FAI) / Production Part Approval Process (PPAP): Perform dimensional verification required for AS9102 First Article Inspection or PPAP submissions, when applicable. Assist with ballooned drawings and characteristic traceability.
• Collaboration & Problem Solving: Work with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve dimensional discrepancies. Identify and document nonconforming conditions and support nonconformance reports (NCRs). Provide measurement data to support root cause investigations and corrective actions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with large, fabricated assemblies or welded structures.
• Experience with CAD model-based inspection workflows.
• Familiarity with defense, aerospace, or regulated manufacturing environments.
• Experience supporting customer or government source inspections.
