Coordinate Measuring Machine Programmer & Metrology Analyst

Location: Tecumseh, MI | Employer: Integrated Talent Strategies (ITS)

You start your shift by loading a new program to validate a launch-critical component. By mid-morning, you’re translating CMM results into AIAG format with the Quality Specialist, and after lunch you’re calibrating a new fixture and updating the inventory so the team can find it on day one. This is a typical day for our CMM expert—part programmer, part problem-solver, and fully committed to world-class dimensional quality.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and run Direct Computer Control (D.C.C.) CMM programs for part and fixture layouts.
• Calibrate new fixtures and new precision measuring instruments; document results and maintain records.
• Create labels for new fixtures, assign storage locations, and keep the fixture inventory current.
• Retire and move obsolete fixtures/measuring instruments to storage with proper traceability.
• Contribute to fixture design reviews, offering data-driven improvement recommendations.
• Summarize CMM findings and convert results into AIAG format in collaboration with the Quality Specialist.
• Prepare parts and documentation to meet GP6 requirements; complete reports per procedure.
• Produce PPAP layouts, as well as customer- and plant-requested layouts for improvement activities.
• Execute annual dimensional layouts per established procedures.
• Conduct capability and statistical studies according to quality system requirements.
• Serve on the Internal Audit Team and support Lab activities as needed.
• Collaborate across teams; assist team members and handle other duties as assigned by management.
• Promote a safe, clean, and comfortable workplace aligned with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the 5S principles (simplify, separate, sanitize, standardize, support).

What You Bring

• Hands-on experience programming and operating CMMs.
• Deep knowledge of GD&T and expert blueprint/engineering drawing interpretation.
• Understanding of calibration practices for fixtures and precision metrology equipment.
• Background in automotive quality systems and manufacturing; stamping and welding knowledge is a plus.

Skills That Set You Apart

• Working knowledge of IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 systems.
• Fluency in manufacturing and quality processes, with sharp analytical and troubleshooting abilities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Project, and CAD tools.
• Clear written and verbal communication; confident presentations.
• Sound technical judgment, organized work style, and attention to detail.
• Ability to prioritize and deliver in a fast-paced production environment; strong team collaboration.
