About The Position

CMM Programmers/Operators operate and program Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and other measurement equipment in an automotive manufacturing plant. They analyze specifications, set up gauges or fixtures according to released part GD&T, and create and execute measurement programs to validate part quality. The work may involve interpreting specifications, blueprints, manufacturers' manuals, sketches, and similar documents, and planning operation sequences and required materials using computer technology such as CAD. The role includes reporting measurement results in detail, communicating effectively, and solving problems. The candidate may also perform incidental tasks needed to complete larger tasks.

Requirements

High school diploma or equivalent (GED).
Minimum four years of combined experience and training as a CMM programmer/operator.
Knowledge of Microsoft Office.
Basic knowledge of mathematics, algebra, and physics.
Experience as a CMM programmer/operator in a manufacturing environment.
Excellent communication skills and ability to problem solve.
Ability to work any shift and overtime, including daily, weekends, and holidays, as required.
Ability to use measuring instruments such as calipers, gauge blocks, micrometers, and dial indicators.
Ability to set up and operate conventional or computer numerically controlled measurement equipment using PC-DMIS or PolyWorks software.
Ability to lift, position, and secure machine parts using hoists, vises, V-blocks, or angle plates.
Ability to measure, mark, and scribe metal or plastic stock using instruments such as protractors, micrometers, scribes, and rulers.
