Key skills for this role
We are seeking a full-time CMM Programmer I to join our quality team — someone with experience programming CMM equipment using PC-DMIS and/or Calypso, working from a variety of data sources including model-based definitions, CAD/CAM files, drawings, and blueprints, and who can operate CMM equipment, perform inspections using surface plate layout methods, and use standard measuring equipment to verify precision aerospace components. In this role, you'll work primarily with Zeiss CMMs and Zeiss Calypso software — programming, setting up, troubleshooting, and operating coordinate measuring machines and related inspection equipment — with the support of experienced team members who are invested in your development.
Develop foundational programming skills in Zeiss Calypso, creating and executing inspection programs for machined and 3D-printed components against drawings, CAD models, and dimensional specifications.
Verify program integrity through first-article runs before programs are released for production use.
Execute inspection plans using CMMs, 3D scanners, optical measuring devices, and hand metrology tools — including calipers, micrometers, and height gauges — following established procedures and escalating issues that exceed your current experience level.
S et up CMMs and associated fixturing per documented procedures, verify probe qualification, and confirm program readiness before execution — building the habits and knowledge that underpin reliable, repeatable inspection.
A ssist senior team members with dimensional inspection using FARO metrology arms and laser scanning equipment, building your familiarity with hardware and software in a supported environment.
R ead engineering drawings and interpret basic GD&T callouts to confirm parts meet dimensional and geometric requirements — asking questions when requirements are unclear and applying feedback directly to your work.
P roduce detailed, accurate inspection documentation in ProShop ERP — including program references, measurement results, and non-conformance records — ensuring every record is complete and clear before it leaves your hands.
