Job description

CMM Programmer / Quality Control Technician

Turn Precision Into Quality.

Are you the person who can look at a blueprint, understand the tolerances, and make sure the finished part is exactly what its supposed to be ?

We're looking for an experienced CMM Programmer / Quality Control Technician to join a growing machining and fabrication operation specializing in custom machine building and precision-machined components .

This isn't a role where you'll spend the entire day doing the same inspection over and over. You'll work across dimensional inspection, CMM programming, blueprint interpretation, GD&T, First Article Inspection, material verification, and quality documentation while partnering directly with manufacturing to solve quality challenges.

If you enjoy precision manufacturing and take pride in being the person who ensures the final product meets the print, this could be an excellent next step.

What Youll Be Doing

As a key member of the Quality team, you'll help ensure products meet demanding customer and quality requirements from in-process inspection through final acceptance.

Responsibilities include:

• Program and operate CMM equipment to perform dimensional inspections

• Inspect precision-machined and fabricated components using CMMs and traditional inspection tools

• Read and interpret blueprints, tolerances, and GD&T

• Perform visual inspections of machined parts, welds, finishes, and secondary coatings

• Verify materials utilizing XRF technology and hardness testing

• Review travelers and routers during in-process inspections to ensure documentation is complete

• Perform fit checks and light assembly to verify drawing conformance

• Complete product identification through laser engraving, stamping, tagging, and dot peening

• Prepare detailed inspection documentation, including AS9102 First Article Inspection reports

• Identify, document, and generate rejections for non-conforming material

• Maintain accurate part-count, labor, and inventory records

• Work directly with manufacturing and other departments to troubleshoot and resolve quality concerns

• Follow established QMS, safety, security, and quality procedures

• Support continuous quality improvement and company quality objectives

What Were Looking For

We're looking for someone who understands that quality is more than checking a box. You should be comfortable working independently, investigating problems, and communicating with different teams when something doesn't look right.

Key qualifications include:

• Experience programming CMMs

• Experience with traditional and/or portable CMM equipment

• Strong blueprint reading abilities

• Understanding of GD&T fundamentals

• Previous quality control or inspection experience

• Manufacturing and/or mechanical experience

• Familiarity with ISO 9000 and/or AS9100

• Strong understanding of dimensional inspection and measurement equipment

• Comfortable working with Microsoft Excel and computerized documentation

• Solid math and mechanical aptitude

• Ability to effectively manage multiple priorities

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Education & Preferred Credentials

• High School Diploma or GED required

• Additional technical or post-secondary education is preferred

• ASQ CQI, CMS, or related quality certifications are a plus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be more than just an inspector.

You'll have the opportunity to apply your CMM programming, inspection, blueprint, GD&T, and problem-solving skills within a custom manufacturing environment where the work can vary from part to part and project to project.

You'll be an important part of making sure complex manufactured components leave the facility built correctly, documented properly, and ready to meet customer expectations.
