About The Role

Boyd / Eaton in Woburn is hiring a CMM Programmer to write, prove out, and maintain inspection programs on Hexagon coordinate measuring machines using PC-DMIS. This person owns dimensional inspection programming for production and first-article work so Quality can measure parts accurately, repeatably, and without depending on a single individual.

The CMM Programmer works on the floor with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering. The job is hands‑on: CAD and prints in, safe DCC programs out, inspectors trained to run released routines.

Responsibilities

• Write, edit, debug, and release PC-DMIS measurement programs for Hexagon CMMs from engineering drawings and 3D CAD.
• Interpret and apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T, including true position, profile, runout, and datum reference frames.
• Build stable alignments and collision‑safe DCC probe paths; qualify probes and manage stylus builds.
• Prove out new programs on the machine and document fixture setup, probe files, and operator run instructions.
• Support first‑article, incoming, in‑process, and final dimensional inspection as required by the quality system.
• Review CMM results, identify out‑of‑tolerance conditions, and work with Quality and Operations on next steps.
• Maintain the program library and revision control so trained inspectors can run released programs.
• Train Quality inspectors to execute released programs and perform basic program operation.
• Use PC‑DMIS Offline programming when available so the CMM stays available for measurement.
• Coordinate routine CMM care and Hexagon service support as needed.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience writing production CMM programs in PC-DMIS (creating programs, not only running them).
• Experience operating Hexagon or comparable DCC CMMs.
• Ability to program from CAD models and from 2D drawings.
• Working knowledge of GD&T and how to measure it correctly on a CMM.
• Ability to prove out programs, document setups, and work on a manufacturing shop floor.
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Must be able to work on‑site in Woburn, MA.

Preferred Qualifications

• PC-DMIS 2020 or newer; scanning / analog probe experience.
• PC-DMIS Offline programming and collision simulation.
• Experience inspecting machined, brazed, or fabricated metal components.
• Hexagon or PC‑DMIS formal training; ASME Y14.5 coursework.
• Exposure to FAI, PPAP, MSA / GR&R, and ISO / IATF / AS9100 quality systems.
• Associate degree in a technical field.

Work Environment
