• Program, set up, operate, and troubleshoot CMM equipment for first-article, in-process, and final inspections.
• Create, modify, and optimize CMM measurement programs, with an emphasis on Zeiss CMM systems and Calypso software where applicable.
• Interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications, and GD&T requirements to develop appropriate inspection strategies.
• Analyze dimensional measurement data and generate accurate, detailed inspection reports.
• Verify component compliance with applicable GD&T requirements.
• Perform precision measurements using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and other metrology and inspection equipment.
• Support calibration and routine maintenance of CMM and related measurement equipment to maintain accuracy and reliability.
• Identify and document nonconforming material or dimensional discrepancies in accordance with established quality procedures.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective action activities related to dimensional and manufacturing quality issues.
• Collaborate with engineering, production, and quality personnel to investigate and resolve dimensional discrepancies.
• Support First Article Inspection (FAI) activities and associated documentation.
• Support Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, as applicable.
• Maintain complete and accurate inspection records, measurement data, and quality documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve inspection methods, measurement repeatability, process efficiency, and CMM cycle times.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives within quality and manufacturing operations.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and compliant inspection and metrology environment.

Required Qualifications

• Associate’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, Quality, Metrology, or a related technical field, or equivalent combination of relevant education, training, and experience.
• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on CMM operation experience.
• Strong understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), including application of ASME Y14.5 principles.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering blueprints, technical drawings, specifications, and dimensional requirements.
• Experience using precision measurement tools, including micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and similar inspection equipment.
• Ability to analyze measurement results and accurately document inspection findings.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to measurement accuracy and quality.
• Strong technical and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate inspection results and dimensional issues effectively with engineering, production, and quality personnel.
• General computer proficiency and ability to work with measurement, inspection, and quality documentation systems.
• Ability to satisfy applicable DoD background and security requirements.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance, if required for the position.
