Job description

CMM Programmers/Operators are highly skilled employees responsible for operating and programming a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and various other measurement equipment in an automotive manufacturing plant. The work requires practical skill and knowledge as a CMM programmer to analyze specifications, set up gauge or fixture in accordance with the released part GD&T, and create and execute measurement programs to validate part quality. The work may require interpreting specifications, blueprints, manufacturers' manuals, sketches or similar documents. The candidate must plan the sequence of operations and materials required, using knowledge of computer technology such as computer-aided design (CAD), to create measurement programs. The Programmer/Operator will provide a detailed report to communicate the results of the measurements. The candidate must have excellent communication skills and the ability to problem-solve, and be able to perform incidental tasks as required to complete the larger task.

  • Work from blueprints, drawings, layouts or other specifications to plan sequences of operations for creating and operating CMM programs
  • Verify dimensions, alignments and clearances of finished parts for conformance to specifications, using measuring instruments such as calipers, gauge blocks, micrometers and dial indicators
  • Visualize and compute dimensions, sizes, shapes and tolerances of assemblies, based on specifications
  • Set up and operate conventional or computer numerically controlled measurement equipment with PC-DMIS or PolyWorks software
  • Perform tests with completed tools to ensure that parts meet specifications; make adjustments as necessary
  • Lift, position and secure machine parts on surface plates or worktables, using hoists, vises, v-blocks or angle plates
  • Measure, mark and scribe metal or plastic stock to lay out measurements, using instruments such as protractors, micrometers, scribes and rulers
  • Design jigs, fixtures and templates for use as work aids in the development of creating a proper alignment scheme in order to reflect the prescribed GD&T of a released part or product
