About The Position

The CMM Programmer is responsible for developing, validating, and optimizing coordinate measuring machine programs to support dimensional inspection of aerospace components. This role plays a key part in ensuring inspection accuracy, product conformity, and manufacturing quality performance. The position requires demonstrated capability in converting point cloud/mesh data into accurate parametric 3D CAD models, including surface reconstruction, solid modeling, and manufacturing-ready engineering deliverables. Experience supporting production and inspection operations in a precision manufacturing setting is essential, particularly with tight tolerances and quality-critical components.

Requirements

• 3D scanning using Hexagon Absolute Arm.
• Reverse engineering of mechanical/aerospace components.
• Siemens NX modeling.
• Ability to convert point cloud/mesh data into accurate parametric 3D CAD models, including surface reconstruction, solid modeling, and manufacturing-ready engineering deliverables.
• Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 4-6 years of relevant experience.
• Aerospace manufacturing or MRO experience.
• Familiarity with common CMM software platforms and metrology best practices.
• Experience supporting high-mix or fast-turnaround inspection environments.

Responsibilities

• Create, validate, and maintain CMM programs for complex aerospace parts and assemblies.
• Interpret engineering drawings, GD&T requirements, and inspection plans to ensure dimensional compliance.
• Support first article, in-process, and final inspection activities.
• Troubleshoot inspection issues and improve measurement efficiency, repeatability, and program robustness.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams to resolve dimensional discrepancies and support corrective actions.
