CMM Programmer / Quality Technician
About the Role
Borg Design is looking for someone interested in learning CMM programming and dimensional inspection in a precision CNC manufacturing environment. This position is ideal for individuals with strong mechanical aptitude, comfort working with computers and technical information, and a desire to develop a career in CMM programming and quality inspection. Previous CMM programming experience is not required, as we are willing to train the right candidate.
This role is well-suited for someone currently working in CNC machining, CNC programming, robotics, manufacturing engineering, inspection, SolidWorks, or other 3D CAD work who wants to learn a new technical skill.
Responsibilities
- Learn to create, modify, and run CMM programs using PC-DMIS, Calypso, or similar CMM software.
- Work from engineering drawings and 3D CAD models to develop inspection programs.
- Learn CMM setup, part alignment, datum structures, probe configurations, and measurement strategies.
- Perform dimensional inspection of precision CNC-machined components.
- Interpret engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T.
- Use micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, pin gauges, thread gauges, and other inspection equipment.
- Collaborate with machinists, CNC programmers, Engineering, and Quality teams to understand dimensional issues and manufacturing processes.
- Assist with first-piece, in-process, and final inspection.
- Help prepare First Article Inspection documentation and other quality records.
- Develop an understanding of how machining, tooling, workholding, material, and inspection methods affect dimensional results.
- Maintain CMM programs and inspection documentation.
Requirements
We prioritize aptitude, technical ability, and willingness to learn over direct CMM experience. A good candidate may have experience in one or more of the following areas:
- CNC machining or CNC programming
- Robotics or robotic programming
- Manufacturing or mechanical engineering
- Quality inspection
- SolidWorks or other 3D CAD/modeling software
- Computer-based programming or automation
- Precision mechanical work
- Technical or vocational training
You should be comfortable working with computers, numbers, drawings, and three-dimensional geometry, and have an interest in understanding how manufactured parts are measured. Strong attention to detail, logical problem-solving skills, and a willingness to ask questions and learn are essential. A college degree is not required.
Nice-to-Have Skills
The following skills are helpful but not required:
- Previous CMM experience
- Experience with PC-DMIS, Calypso, or other metrology software
- Experience reading engineering drawings
- Basic understanding of GD&T
- Experience using precision measuring equipment
- CNC milling or turning experience
- SolidWorks or other CAD experience
- Experience in aerospace, defense, medical, automotive, or other precision manufacturing
Benefits
- Training in CMM programming and dimensional inspection
- Opportunity to develop a specialized technical skill
- Competitive compensation based on experience and capability
- Medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits
- Opportunities for technical development and career growth
- Hands-on experience with complex precision components in a modern CNC manufacturing environment
