Overview

An established manufacturer catering to the defense and commercial sectors seeks to hire a CMM programmer to join a tight-knit quality team. The site operates Brown and Sharpe DCC CMMs using PC-DMIS. Current programs need user-friendly updates, and new ones will be created in response to production needs.

  • Conduct initial inspections for CNC setups and incoming vendor components
  • Perform thorough assembly checks, including evaluating complex components with GD&T principles
  • Enhance existing programs to improve user experience and overall efficiency
  • Assess current CMM equipment and suggest controller upgrades as necessary
  • Train new CMM operators and support their growth until they are self-sufficient
  • Directly operate CMMs until additional operators are hired and trained
  • Resolve programming and inspection issues and communicate findings to quality and production teams
  • Maintain precise inspection records and documentation
Requirements
  • High school diploma required; AAS degree or CMM programming certification preferred
  • 1–2+ years of PC-DMIS programming experience required
  • Calypso experience is a plus
  • Hands-on experience in metal fabrication, machining, or related manufacturing required
  • Defense, military, or aerospace background strongly preferred
  • ITAR familiarity preferred
  • Skilled in manual metrology tools like micrometers, height gauges, and similar instruments
  • Experience inspecting machined parts, castings, and assemblies with GD&T callouts
  • Able to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and troubleshoot without heavy direction
  • Collaborative mindset with a genuine willingness to train others and keep learning
  • US citizen or green card holder required
