CMM Programmer

Duties/Responsibilities • Develop, edit, and validate complex CMM programs using latest Camio software. • Perform dimensional inspection of aerospace engine hardware such as blades, vanes, disks, rings, cases, seals, and various precision features. • Interpret engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, GD&T, and aerospace OEM specifications. • Conduct First Article Inspections (FAI) in accordance with AS9102 requirements. • Generate detailed, accurate inspection reports and measurement results for internal teams and customer submission. • Work closely with quality engineering, manufacturing, and machining teams to resolve dimensional, tolerance stack-up, and process-related issues. • Validate CMM programs through dry runs, correlation checks, and measurement repeatability testing. • Ensure proper calibration, maintenance, and performance of Zeiss CMM equipment. • Maintain revision control of programs, fixtures, and inspection documentation. • Support corrective actions, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives related to metrology and inspection processes. • Apply best practices for measurement of tight-tolerance, thin-wall, intricate geometries, and high-temperature aerospace materials (Inconel, Waspaloy, Titanium). • Develop and deploy standardized CMM program templates and macros to improve efficiency, consistency, and reduce development time. • Conduct and analyze correlation studies between different CMMs and measurement methods. • Implement high-level conditional programming within Calypso to create flexible, intelligent inspection plans that adapt to part variations. • Utilize VB scripting to automate repetitive tasks, customize measurement routines, and generate specialized reports. • Perform data parsing from CMM outputs for statistical analysis, trend monitoring, and integration with other quality systems.
