CMM Operator - Quality Inspection

** Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) to meet customer and regulatory requirements**

Saginaw Precision (A Salient Motion Company) manufactures close-tolerance machined components for aerospace and defense customers. We're hiring a CMM Operator to join our quality team and verify that what leaves our floor meets print, every time. You'll work in a climate-controlled inspection lab alongside machinists, quality engineers, and program managers, inspecting first articles, in-process parts, and final shipments on tight-tolerance aerospace work.

• Set up and run coordinate measuring machines to inspect machined components against engineering drawings and 3D models
• Execute existing CMM programs; edit and fine-tune routines as parts and fixturing change
• Build and validate part fixturing and alignment strategies for repeatable measurement
• Interpret blueprints, GD&T callouts per ASME Y14.5, and model-based definition data
• Produce First Article Inspection reports to AS9102 and complete ballooned drawings
• Document and communicate nonconformances; support root cause investigations with dimensional data
• Use hand gauging: micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, optical comparator, where CMM isn't the right tool
• Maintain machine calibration schedules, artifact verification, and inspection records to AS9100 / NADCAP requirements
• Provide dimensional feedback to machinists and programmers to correct process drift before it becomes scrap

• 2+ years operating CMMs in a machining or precision manufacturing environment
• Working knowledge of PC-DMIS / Calypso / CAMIO / MODUS / MCOSMOS
• Comfort reading complex machined-part prints and revision-controlled documentation
• Attention to detail and the discipline to hold a documented process
• High school diploma or GED

• CMM programming experience (offline programming from CAD a plus)
• Aerospace or defense manufacturing background; familiarity with AS9100 and AS9102
• Experience with SPC, capability studies, and gage R&R
• CMM vision systems, scanning probes, or CT/laser scanning exposure
• ASQ CQI or similar certification
