CMM Operator (Zeiss​/LK) 2nd Shift

CMM Operator (Zeiss/LK)-2nd Shift $25-$29/hr + 10% Shift Differential | Day 1 Benefits | Weekly Pay | 75+ Years of Stability
Think BIG. Literally

If you've spent your career inspecting parts you can hold in one hand, this role is a different animal - and for the right person, a more interesting one. Acme Industries machines
** large, complex castings and forgings** - finished components measured in feet, not inches, and weighing anywhere from 50 pounds to over a ton. We're looking for an experienced CMM Operator who knows what it takes to inspect
** big, heavy, high-value parts
** on large-envelope Zeiss and LK Coordinate Measuring Machines.

Inspecting large components is its own discipline. On any given shift you might be:

• Staging and orienting
  ** oversized machined castings and forgings
  ** on the CMM using overhead cranes, hoists, and custom fixturing - not tweezers and vises
• Running programs on
  ** large-envelope Zeiss and LK CMMs
  ** built to handle parts that dwarf a typical granite plate setup
• Managing thermal stabilization, datum strategy, and probe planning for parts where a small setup error compounds across several feet of geometry
• Verifying tight tolerances on
  ** one-of-a-kind, high-dollar components
  ** for demanding industries - where a scrapped part isn't a bin of rejects, it's a serious event

• Perform dimensional inspection of large precision-machined castings and forgings using Zeiss and LK CMMs
• Safely handle, lift, and fixture heavy components using overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment
• Interpret complex blueprints and GD&T to verify part conformance
• Execute existing CMM programs and assist with setup and alignment for new part configurations
• Document inspection results and communicate findings to machinists, engineers, and quality leadership
• Support first-article, in-process, and final inspections in an AS9100 environment

• Experience operating Zeiss and/or LK CMMs (Calypso and/or CAMIO experience a plus)
• Hands‑on experience inspecting large or heavy components - castings, forgings, weldments, or similar (candidates whose background is exclusively small parts will find this a significant transition)
• Comfort and experience with overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging for part handling (or willingness to be trained and certified)
• Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
• Attention to detail and sound judgment - our parts are too valuable for guesswork
• Ability to work 2nd shift

• $25–$29/hr plus a 10% shift differential
• Benefits starting Day 1 and weekly pay
• 75+ years of stability serving aerospace, defense, and other demanding industries
• Modern, climate-controlled inspection environment with serious metrology equipment
• A shop where quality people are respected - your findings drive real decisions
