Job Description

Position Summary

The CMM Programmer is responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) inspection programs to ensure the quality and dimensional accuracy of forged components. This role supports production, quality assurance, and engineering by verifying compliance with specifications, industry standards, and customer requirements within a forging manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities

• Develop, write, and optimize CMM programs using software such as PC-DMIS, Calypso, VDmis or equivalent.
• Perform dimensional inspection of forged components, including complex geometries.
• Interpret engineering forging drawings, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing), and CAD models.
• Validate first article inspections (FAI) and production part approval processes (PPAP).
• Troubleshoot CMM programs and measurement issues to ensure accuracy and repeatability.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, engineering, and quality teams to resolve nonconformances.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions related to dimensional defects.
• Maintain calibration records and ensure compliance with quality standards (ISO 9001, AS9100, etc.).
• Assist in fixture design and inspection method development for forged parts.
• Generate inspection reports and communicate results clearly to stakeholders.
• Continuously improve inspection processes and cycle times.

• Proficiency with CMM software (PC-DMIS, Zeiss Calypso, Mitutoyo MCOSMOS, or similar).
• Familiarity with CAD models and software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, CATIA).
• Knowledge of inspection tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, contour measurement).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in forging, heat treatment, or metal-forming operations.
• Knowledge of material flow, die wear, and distortion impacts on part geometry.
• Experience with aerospace, automotive, or heavy industrial components.
• ASQ certification (e.g., Certified Quality Technician or Engineer) is a plus.
• Exposure to automation or offline programming environments.

Physical & Work Environment

• Manufacturing/forging shop environment with exposure to heat, noise, and heavy equipment.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and handle inspection equipment.
• Occasional lifting of parts and fixtures.

Key Competencies

• Attention to detail and accuracy
• Technical expertise in metrology
• Strong communication skills
• Problem-solving and critical thinking
