CMM Programmer

Position Summary - US citizen due to Gov regulations. We are seeking an experienced, hands-on CMM Programmer to support a precision aerospace and defense manufacturing environment. This individual will be responsible for independently developing, modifying, optimizing and troubleshooting CMM programs, primarily using PC-DMIS. The role will work closely with Quality, Engineering, machinists and inspectors to support production, resolve dimensional issues and ensure inspection requirements are accurately captured.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, create, modify and optimize CMM inspection programs using PC-DMIS.
• Create complete CMM programs from engineering drawings, CAD models and specifications.
• Perform dimensional inspection of complex, precision-machined components.
• Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, GD&T requirements and customer specifications.
• Ensure all required dimensions and characteristics are properly captured within inspection programs.
• Troubleshoot and correct CMM programming issues, machine errors and CMM crashes.
• Maintain and update CMM program revisions as production and engineering requirements change.
• Work closely with Quality, Engineering, machinists and inspectors to resolve dimensional and programming issues.
• Support production by completing assigned programming work within expected timelines.
• Assist inspectors and production personnel with CMM-related questions and technical support.
• Utilize portable CMM equipment and software such as ROMER/FARO arms and Verisurf when applicable.
• Share technical knowledge and contribute to a team-oriented quality environment.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience programming CMMs using PC-DMIS.
• Ability to independently create complete CMM inspection programs from scratch using engineering drawings or CAD models.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T and ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and specifications.
• Experience inspecting complex, tight-tolerance, precision-machined components.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot, modify, and optimize CMM programs and resolve CMM-related issues.
• Experience working in a production machining or precision manufacturing environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills with the ability to work effectively with Quality, Engineering, machinists, and inspectors.
• High school diploma or GED required; college degree is not required.
• Aerospace, defense, or AS9100 manufacturing experience is highly preferred.
• Experience with Verisurf, ROMER arms, or FARO arms is a plus, but not required.

Why Is This a Great Opportunity

• Day shift preferred with a standard 40-hour workweek.
• Flexible scheduling options may be available, including consideration of alternative work schedules.
• Overtime opportunities available based on business needs.
• Opportunity to work in a large, established precision aerospace and defense manufacturing environment.
• Hands-on role focused on true PC-DMIS programming, not simply operating a CMM or running existing programs.
• Work with complex, precision-machined components in a highly technical manufacturing environment.
• Join a collaborative Quality team that values teamwork, knowledge sharing and individual accountability.
• Performance incentive/bonus program available.
