About The Position

The CMM Tech supports quality, engineering, operations, and management by handling metrology requests and performing dimensional inspection, measurement analysis, testing, and root cause analysis. The role involves interpreting engineering drawings and applying GD&T; conducting 3D scans; operating coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), a FARO arm, and other precision instruments; working with CAD data; programming measurement routines; and maintaining systematic records. The technician also performs specified foam, cup, and moisture-content tests and may be cross-trained in other Quality Department jobs. The position is based in Louisville, Kentucky, and involves working in a lab and manufacturing environment. It requires working autonomously with limited supervision, maintaining a clean and orderly lab, following applicable PPE requirements, and may include off-shift and weekend work. The physical work includes standing, stooping, and walking on concrete for 90 to 100% of the time, occasional lifting and other movements, and carrying up to 75 pounds.
