We’re seeking an experienced CMM Programmer/Operator for a growing precision machine shop specializing in automation equipment and low-volume components for aerospace and other demanding industries.

What You’ll Do
- Program, set up, and operate a 2020 Hexagon Global S Green CMM
- Develop and run inspection programs using PC-DMIS

- Inspect high-precision, low-volume machined components
- Read and interpret blueprints, specifications, job orders, and GD&T callouts

- Strong blueprint-reading and GD&T interpretation skills
- Experience inspecting tight-tolerance machined components
- Proficiency with manual precision measurement tools
- Ability to identify, document, and communicate quality issues
- Strong attention to detail and problem-solving ability
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
Experience That Will Help You Stand Out
