* Perform first article inspections (FAI), in-process inspections, and final inspections using CMMs and other metrology equipment.
* Analyze inspection data, generate detailed inspection reports, and identify non-conformance issues.
* Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to troubleshoot measurement challenges and improve product quality.
* Maintain and calibrate CMM equipment, ensuring optimal performance and accuracy.
* Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to inspection processes and methodologies.

Qualifications:

* Associate's degree in a relevant technical field (e.g., Mechanical Engineering Technology, Quality Assurance) or equivalent practical experience.
* Minimum of 3-5 years of experience as a CMM Programmer in a manufacturing environment.
* Proficiency in CMM programming software, with strong preference for PC-DMIS.
* Expertise in interpreting complex engineering drawings and applying GD&T principles.
* Solid understanding of metrology principles, measurement techniques, and inspection methodologies.
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
* Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
