CMM Programmer

This role involves programming Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) to inspect manufactured parts, ensuring adherence to design specifications and quality standards.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, debug, and optimize CMM programs using various CMM software (e.g., PC-DMIS, Calypso, MCOSMOS) for complex geometric features.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) specifications, and 3D CAD models to create accurate inspection routines.
• Perform first article inspections (FAI), in-process inspections, and final inspections using CMMs and other metrology equipment.
• Analyze inspection data, generate detailed inspection reports, and identify non-conformance issues.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to troubleshoot measurement challenges and improve product quality.
• Maintain and calibrate CMM equipment, ensuring optimal performance and accuracy.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to inspection processes and methodologies.

Qualifications:

• Associate's degree in a relevant technical field (e.g., Mechanical Engineering Technology, Quality Assurance) or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience as a CMM Programmer in a manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in CMM programming software, with strong preference for PC-DMIS.
• Expertise in interpreting complex engineering drawings and applying GD&T principles.
• Solid understanding of metrology principles, measurement techniques, and inspection methodologies.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
