Quality Inspector/ CMM Programming 3rd Shift

Primus Aerospace is a leading manufacturing partner to aerospace, defense & space OEMs, Primes, and Tier I suppliers, specializing in high-tolerance, complex geometry parts machined from standard and exotic metals. We work directly with major aerospace manufacturers (e.g., Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop) to provide components for mission-critical civilian and defense programs.

About the role

This role balances hands-on inspection responsibilities with independent CMM programming duties. The ideal candidate is comfortable performing first piece, in-process, and final inspections while also writing, editing, and optimizing PC-DMIS programs to support production and quality requirements.

Responsibilities

• Perform First Piece, Lot, In-Process, and Final Inspections against customer requirements and print specifications.
• Write, revise, and optimize CMM programs (PC-DMIS) to reflect customer print specification requirements.
• Analyze and interpret CMM reports and inspection data to determine adherence to customer prints and specifications.
• Create CMM setup and operational instructions specific to part and machine.
• Prepare detailed inspection reports, including written descriptions of results and statistical analysis.
• Support the QC team with FAI, in-process, or final inspection activities as needed.
• Perform daily and weekly maintenance of CMM machines and ensure programs and inspection data are stored and backed up correctly.
• Ensure CMM software (PC-DMIS) is kept up to date and maintained.
• Apply GD&T principles and ASME Y14.5M interpretation to inspection and programming work; stay current with GD&T standards, terminology, and inspection methodologies.
• Follow internal inspection procedures and maintain accurate inspection records.
• Maintain the ERP system per company policy.
• Provide technical assistance to production, manufacturing engineering, and quality personnel as needed.
• Stay current with industry inspection techniques, practices, and required standards.
• Perform other duties as assigned (e.g., Calibration, Audits, CAPA, Customer Complaints, RMAs).

Requirements

• Must be a U.S. Person as defined under ITAR (22 CFR 120–130) and eligible to obtain a Secret level security clearance.
• 2+ years of CMM inspection experience.
• 1+ years of independent PC-DMIS programming experience (writing and editing programs, not just running existing programs).
• First Article Inspection (FAI) experience and data reporting.
• Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Proven ability to troubleshoot CMM faults.
• Strong verbal and written communication.
• Aerospace experience desired.
• Willingness to work overtime.
• Ability to meet deadlines.

Schedule

3rd Shift: Friday - Sunday, 6:00 AM - 6:30 PM (36-hour shift paid for 40).
