About The Position

This position is for an experienced CMM Programmer with strong experience in Camio software operating Nikon/LK coordinate measuring machines to join a growing aerospace team with L&T Technology Services (LTTS). As an important part of the Manufacturing team here at LTTS, you will actively be providing critical value to our customers by helping to ensure the production of high-quality aerospace components for aerospace applications by supporting the dimensional inspection of complex aerospace engine hardware, including rotating components, structural elements, and precision-machined superalloy parts. We are looking for a highly skilled CMM Programmer with aerospace industry experience to join our engineering team. The successful candidate will develop robust CMM programs, validate measurements, support First Article Inspection (FAI), and ensure compliance with stringent aerospace and OEM requirements. You will collaborate closely with production, quality, and materials engineering teams to ensure product performance, process reliability, and compliance with industry standards. The ideal candidate will have a trained eye for detail and will be reliable and committed. A passion for quality standards and quality product output is essential, and job duties may include technical reviews, designing new tools or systems, interpreting data, or researching the science of metrology to better processes/accuracy. This is an on-site position, meaning much of this role will require working out of our clients facility located in Columbus, Georgia.

Requirements

2–5+ years of experience in CMM programming or metrology in a precision manufacturing or aerospace environment.
Proficiency in Camio software and hands-on operation of LK equipment.
Strong understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and 3D model interpretation.
Experience inspecting aerospace hardware or similarly complex, tight-tolerance components.
Knowledge of AS9100, AS9102, and engine OEM dimensional requirements.
Ability to diagnose measurement issues caused by fixturing, environment, part geometry, machine capability, or part/program setup.
Proficiency generating clear, traceable measurement reports.
Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.
US Citizen due to program requirements.
