TRD is looking for a highly motivated CMM Inspector Technician.

The CMM Inspector Technician is responsible for dimensional layout inspection of machined castings and components, ensuring conformance to engineering drawings, control plans, and inspection plans. Working primarily on Zeiss CMMs with Calypso software, this role establishes part alignments and fixturing, interprets and applies GD&T per ASME Y14.5, and dispositions parts as conforming or non-conforming. The role also supports Manufacturing Engineering through correlation studies, SPC analysis, and process validation, and helps maintain a clean, organized inspection lab in line with 5S standards.

• Perform dimensional layout inspection of machined castings and components on Zeiss CMMs using Calypso, in accordance with published inspection plans, control plans and engineering drawings.
• Load, align and fixture parts per documented setup sheets and inspection instructions; provide feedback on instructions and setups to improve clarity and robustness of the process.
• Establish and verify part alignments, fixturing and datum schemes; select, build and qualify the appropriate probe and stylus configurations for each program.
• Interpret and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to determine the correct measurement method, evaluate results against tolerance, and disposition parts as conforming or non-conforming.
• Perform first article, in-process and final inspection; complete dimensional layout reports and record all results in the quality system with full traceability.
• Document non-conforming material, immediately communicate out-of-tolerance conditions to Machining, Quality and Manufacturing Engineering, and support containment, root cause analysis and corrective action.
• Collect and analyze SPC data; generate and interpret capability studies (Cpk/Ppk), control charts and trend data, and alert production to drifting processes before parts fall out of tolerance.
• Perform required daily and periodic CMM maintenance and verification activities, including probe qualification, reference sphere and artifact checks, temperature and environmental logs, air supply checks and machine cleaning.
• Support Manufacturing Engineering with correlation studies between CMM results and shop-floor gauging, and with fixture, tooling and process validation on new or revised programs.
• Maintain a clean, organized inspection lab in accordance with 5S standards, and follow all safety, environmental and quality system requirements.

• High School diploma AND an AA degree or completed trade school study in a quality, metrology, or machine manufacturing discipline.
• 3 years’ experience as a CMM operator/programmer in a highly dynamic, metric-driven, close-tolerance manufacturing environment, with responsibility for programming, inspection and gage use.
• Hands-on experience operating Zeiss CMMs with Calypso software, including the ability to create, edit and prove out programs — not operate existing programs only.
• Ability to read and understand detailed blueprints with advanced GD&T experience (ASME…
