Cmm Programmer

CMM Programmer – Aerospace Precision & Innovation ($35-40/hour)

Build What Others Can’t Measure

Are you the kind of quality professional who thrives on precision, loves solving complex measurement challenges, and takes pride in making aerospace-grade excellence repeatable? We’re looking for a CMM Programmer (Camio) who doesn’t just inspect parts—but engineers confidence into every product we ship.

In this role, you’ll be at the center of quality, working alongside engineering and manufacturing to ensure mission-critical components meet the highest aerospace standards. Your work will directly impact performance, safety, and customer trust.

What You’ll Own

Precision Programming & Inspection Excellence

• Design, program, and refine advanced CMM inspection routines in Camio that keep production moving and quality uncompromised.
• Translate complex engineering drawings, CAD models, and GD&T requirements into accurate, reliable inspection strategies.
• Drive precision across all measurements using cutting-edge tools and best practices.

First Article Leadership

• Take full ownership of First Article Inspections (AS9102)—ensuring new and revised parts are validated with confidence.
• Build and maintain complete FAI packages, including:
  • Ballooned drawings
  • Inspection reports
  • Supporting documentation
• Be the go-to expert for FAI readiness during audits and customer reviews.

Data-Driven Quality Improvement

• Analyze inspection data and identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Partner with engineering and production to solve root causes , not just symptoms.
• Lead corrective actions that improve long-term quality and reduce variability.

Cross-Functional Impact

• Collaborate closely with manufacturing, design, and quality teams to:
  • Improve manufacturability
  • Optimize inspection efficiency
  • Strengthen overall product quality
• Help shape better processes—not just follow them.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

• Ensure full compliance with AS9100, AS9102, NADCAP (as applicable) , and customer standards.
• Support internal and external audits with confidence and clarity.
• Maintain rigorous control of inspection documentation and calibration practices.

What You Bring

Core Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality—or equivalent hands-on experience
• 3+ years in aerospace quality/inspection
• Proven experience programming CMMs using Camio
• Strong command of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and inspection methodologies
• Deep understanding of AS9102 First Article Inspection requirements

Technical Strength

• Expertise with precision tools: CMMs, height gauges, calipers, micrometers
• Ability to interpret complex aerospace drawings and 3D CAD models
• Experience working with ERP/MRP systems and quality documentation platforms

Professional Edge

• Analytical mindset with a passion for problem-solving
• Exceptional attention to detail—because microns matter
• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical teams
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving production environment

Bonus Points If You Have

• Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience
• Knowledge of AS9100 quality systems
• CAD experience (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA)
• Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma certification
• A track record of improving processes, not just maintaining them

Why You’ll Love It Here

You won’t just be another programmer—you’ll be a critical voice in quality and innovation.

• Work in a high-precision aerospace environment where excellence is the standard
• Collaborate with skilled engineers and technicians who value your expertise
• Be empowered to improve systems, tools, and processes
• Grow your career through exposure to advanced measurement technologies and aerospace standards

We believe quality isn’t a department—it’s a mindset. And you’ll help define it.

Your Environment

This is where hands-on precision meets technical problem-solving:

• A CNC aerospace machining environment producing high-tolerance components
• A mix of:
  • Shop floor collaboration (with machines and hardware)
  • Technical programming and analysis work
• Daily use of Camio, CMMs, CAD tools, and ERP systems
• A culture built on accuracy, safety, and continuous improvement
