CMM Programmer

Job Details

You'll program, prove out, and support coordinate measuring machine (CMM) inspections on critical aerospace components, executing to NPI and daily production milestones in accordance with customer and internal specifications.

Generate and prove out CMM programs on Mitutoyo, Zeiss, and Metris machines for dimensional inspection of aerospace parts.

Set up and prove out new or modified programs using provided fixtures, models, and work instructions.

Interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T to ensure compliance with customer specifications and aerospace tolerances.

Review CMM results, identify potential nonconformances, escalate appropriately, and support root cause analysis on dimensional discrepancies.

Maintain and organize CMM programs and documentation; perform validation and calibration checks to ensure CMM accuracy; train other inspection personnel on setups you develop.

Looking for

• CMM programming experience in a manufacturing environment; aerospace preferred
• Prior MCOSMOS experience required; Calypso and/or Modus a strong plus
• Strong GD&T interpretation, blueprint reading, and application of aerospace tolerances
