CMM Programmer

Boom Supersonic•Centennial, CO

1d•$109,000 - $137,000

About The Position

We’re building Superpower — an industrial gas turbine designed to power the next wave of AI infrastructure. It’s ambitious, fast-moving, and hardware-heavy. Superpower is built from high-consequence hardware — precision castings, machined turbomachinery, complex assemblies — and quality is what turns design intent into engine reality. At Boom, quality isn’t a back-end function — it’s a force multiplier. As we stand up and scale our internal manufacturing capability, we need a CMM Programmer who can bridge inspection and engineering. Someone who can program and run CMMs, build inspection plans from first principles, generate audit-ready reports, and help define the metrology capability required to support a production engine program.

Requirements

Strong experience programming and operating CMMs (Verisurf, PC-DMIS, Calypso, or Zeiss a plus)
Fluent in GD&T, blueprint reading, and CAD model interpretation per ASME Y14.5
Experience inspecting tight-tolerance aerospace or high-precision machined components
Comfortable building inspection plans, generating first-article and final inspection reports, and supporting AS9100 documentation
Able to identify inspection capability gaps and help specify and procure new metrology equipment
Hands-on background in machining, fabrication, or shop-floor manufacturing environments
Comfortable using standard metrology tools — micrometers, indicators, height gages, surface plates
Demonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team setting
Excels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environment

Nice To Haves

Experience establishing or certifying inspection processes in AS9100 or NADCAP environments
Experience standing up or scaling internal metrology labs
Deep understanding of inspection strategy for castings, machined components, or turbomachinery hardware
Demonstrated ability to move from “we should inspect this” to a fully implemented, production-ready inspection workflow
A mindset that sees quality as a competitive advantage — not a compliance exercise
Familiar with special process inspection levels (e.g., X-Ray, FPI, Casting, etc) and understands process ownership

Responsibilities

Program and operate CMMs for first-article, in-process, and final inspections
Create and debug inspection routines directly from 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings
Interpret and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to real-world aerospace hardware
Develop inspection plans and methods for fabricated and machined components
Generate clear, audit-ready inspection reports and support customer-facing quality documentation
Work shoulder-to-shoulder with machinists and manufacturing engineers to resolve nonconformances and improve part quality
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions tied to dimensional or process escapes
Identify gaps in inspection capability and help specify, procure, and commission new metrology equipment
Help stand up and refine in-process and final inspection workflows as we scale production
Maintain calibration and readiness of CMMs and other metrology equipment
