CMM Programmer

Location: North Florida (Relocation Assistance as needed)

The CMM Programmer develops and supports automated dimensional inspection methods used to verify manufactured parts against engineering specifications. This role is responsible for creating and refining measurement routines, confirming program accuracy, and maintaining reliable inspection processes throughout production. Working closely with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering personnel, the programmer helps resolve measurement challenges, improve inspection efficiency, and maintain adherence to established quality standards.

Additional duties include evaluating dimensional discrepancies, supporting inspection equipment performance, maintaining program records, and improving measurement workflows. The position requires a strong technical foundation in metrology, precision measurement, and manufacturing inspection, combined with analytical thinking and effective communication.

Required Education and Experience

• At least three years of hands-on experience developing and executing CMM inspection programs within a manufacturing setting.
• Strong knowledge of dimensional metrology, precision measurement methods, and inspection techniques used to verify manufactured components.
• Experience interpreting measurement results, conducting dimensional evaluations, and assessing measurement system performance.
• Proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), coordinate geometry, and trigonometric principles.
• Demonstrated ability to develop practical measurement strategies and resolve dimensional inspection challenges.
• Familiarity with CMM programming platforms, automated measurement equipment, and related inspection technologies.
• Strong mathematical reasoning, attention to detail, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Competency with Microsoft Office and commonly used computer applications.
• Bachelor's degree in Metrology, Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, Quality, or a comparable technical discipline.

Preferred Education and Experience

• Experience contributing to inspection planning for new products, manufacturing process qualification, and ongoing production activities.
• Knowledge of quality management systems, manufacturing compliance expectations, and relevant regulatory standards.
• Background in improving inspection cycle times, automating measurement activities, and implementing continuous improvement practices.
• Experience reviewing supplier-provided components, evaluating dimensional results, and assisting with supplier quality investigations.
• Ability to investigate out-of-tolerance conditions, document findings, and prepare detailed dimensional inspection reports.
• Experience maintaining inspection program revisions, measurement records, software documentation, and associated databases.
• Familiarity with CMM calibration schedules, preventive maintenance coordination, and equipment performance checks.
• Experience instructing inspectors, machinists, or manufacturing personnel in measurement equipment operation and automated inspection procedures.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to address product quality concerns and improve manufacturing inspection methods.
