CMM Programmer / Quality Control Inspector

Hydracore is a precision machining shop trusted by leaders in defense, medical device, and specialty chemical manufacturing. Every part that leaves our building has to be right — and that's where you come in. We're looking for a sharp, detail-driven CMM programmer/operator who takes real pride in getting the numbers exact and the paperwork clean. This isn't a "clock in, clock out" kind of role. We want someone who's genuinely into precision measurement, who sees a tricky GD&T callout as a puzzle worth solving, and who wants to keep building their skills alongside a team that backs them up.
