Job description

RRP S4E Innovation Ltd is seeking a detail-oriented and skilled VMM/CMM Operator to join our high-precision engineering and manufacturing team. In this role, you will be responsible for executing pre-programmed dimensional inspection routines using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) & Vision Measuring Machine (VMM) to verify that critical components meet exact design, engineering, and aerospace/defence quality standards. You will bridge the gap between production and precision inspection, ensuring maximum accuracy and procedural compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Component Setup & Alignment: Clean, stage, and secure manufactured high-precision parts on the VMM Workstation using dedicated fixtures, custom clamps, and magnetic blocks without introducing part distortion.
• Executing CMM/VMM Routines: Load, verify, and run established automatic or manual inspection programs based on part-specific routing cards and setup sheets.
• Probe Configuration & Calibration: Assemble specified stylus and probe configurations (e.g., straight, star) and perform mandatory calibration/qualification routines against reference spheres to ensure absolute measurement accuracy.
• Data Reporting & Analysis: Monitor and review real-time dimensional measurement data generated by the VMM, checking measurements against engineering blueprints, 3D CAD data, and strict tolerance sheets.
• Non-Conformance Documentation: Identify, tag, and isolate out-of-tolerance components. Document manufacturing deviations clearly and communicate non-conformance data promptly to machinists, programmers, and supervisors to trigger corrective process modifications.
• Standard Metrology Support: Supplement automated inspection with manual precision hand tools, including micrometers, vernier calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, and optical comparators when required.

Qualifications & Technical Skills:

• Experience: Proven track record as a VMM/CMM Operator or Quality Inspector within a high-precision manufacturing sector (Aerospace, Defence, or Electro-Optics experience preferred)
• Blueprint Reading & GD&T: Exceptional ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, blueprints, and a robust working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles (e.g., true position, parallelism, concentricity).
• Software Competency: Experience running and navigating standard industrial VMM/CMM software environments such as Rapid-i.
• Mathematical Aptitude: Strong foundation in shop math, including basic geometry and trigonometry, to parse and evaluate complex spatial measurements.

Physical Demands & Work Environment:

• Ability to work safely in both a temperature-controlled metrology laboratory and an active, fast-paced manufacturing shop floor environment.
• Capable of lifting, positioning, and securing metal fixtures and components weighing up to 10 kg.
• Sharp visual acuity and sustained focus needed to inspect intricate geometries and micro-scale part features over extended production shifts.
