- Create and execute measurement programs using computer-aided design (CAD) and PC-DMIS or PolyWorks software
- Plan the sequence of operation and materials required based on knowledge of computer technology
- Provide detailed reports to communicate the results of measurements
- Interpret and visualize dimensions, alignments, and clearances of finished parts for conformance to specifications
- Operate conventional or computer numerically controlled measurement equipment with PC-DMIS or PolyWorks software
- Verify dimensions, alignments, and clearances of finished parts for conformance to specifications using measuring instruments such as calipers, gauge blocks, micrometers, and dial indicators
- Set up and operate measurement equipment with PC-DMIS or PolyWorks software
- Design jigs, fixtures, and templates for use as work aids in the development of creating a proper alignment scheme in order to reflect the prescribed GD&T of a released part or product
- Perform tests with completed tools to ensure that parts meet specifications; make adjustments as necessary
- Lift, position, and secure machine parts on surface plates or worktables, using hoists, vises, v-blocks, or angle plates
- Measure, mark, and scribe metal or plastic stock to lay out measurements, using instruments such as protractors, micrometers, scribes, and rulers
- Work from blueprints, drawings, layouts, or other specifications to plan sequences of operations for creating/operating CMM programs
