Onsite, manufacturing production environment

1 year with high likelihood of extension or conversion to full-time employee.

You’ll write and test the programs that run coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), the machines that check whether manufactured parts match their drawings. You’ll plan how each part should be measured, build and prove out the programs in PC-DMIS, and fix problems when a program, probe, fixture, or report doesn’t work the way it should. You’ll also support the shop floor by helping operators and engineers, improving templates and standard work, and leading projects that make inspection faster, more repeatable, and more reliable.

• Develop and validate robust CMM measurement strategies for standard to moderately complex parts using CAD models, drawings, datum structures, ASME Y14.5 GD&T, and production requirements
• Create, maintain, and prove out PC-DMIS CMM programs that align with Product Quality Plans, inspection standards, and shop execution needs
• Use Siemens NX or similar CAD tools to support CMM programming, model interrogation, inspection planning, and dimensional analysis
• Troubleshoot recurring CMM program, alignment, probe, fixture, report, setup, result, and production-support issues
• Support CMM hardware/software setup, probe qualification, fixture validation, and reliable execution of production inspection processes
• Improve PC-DMIS templates, reports, naming conventions, documentation, controlled software practices, and standard work
• Provide technical support, coaching, and clear communication to operators, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, and cross-functional teams
• Lead improvement efforts that strengthen CMM repeatability, usability, cycle time, safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance

• Bachelor's degree, Associate's degree, or Machinist Apprentice graduate; or high school diploma/GED with equivalent technical experience
• Minimum of 3 years of hands‑on offline CMM programming experience using PC-DMIS
• Experience programming, proving out, and validating CMM inspection routines in a production environment
• Working knowledge of GD&T, drawing interpretation, model-based definition, and dimensional inspection principles
• Ability and willingness to work on site in a manufacturing production environment

• Advanced knowledge of GD&T, drawing/model interpretation, dimensional inspection, and measurement strategy development, preferably aligned with ASME Y14.5
• Demonstrated proficiency with PC-DMIS, offline CMM programming, program prove-out, and production support
• Experience with Siemens NX or similar CAD tools, model-based definition, and model-based inspection data
• Experience with CMM hardware setup, probe qualification, fixture validation, and measurement system troubleshooting
• Experience with automation, scripting, or workflow optimization using VBA, Python, C++, or similar tools
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, including applied shop math, geometry, and trigonometry used in dimensional inspection and metrology
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while balancing production support, technical problem solving, documentation, training, and continuous improvement work
• Experience supporting dimensional inspection or metrology for heavy‑duty gas turbine, aerospace, energy, or other complex precision components

• 3+ years of hands‑on offline CMM programming experience using PC‑DMIS
• Experience proving out and validating CMM inspection routines in a production environment
• Working knowledge of GD&T, drawing interpretation, and dimensional inspection principles
