CMM Programmer – Quality & Inspection | Defense & Commercial Manufacturing
Location:
Skokie, IL (On-site)
Pay: $30–$40/hour + up to 15 hours optional overtime per week
Schedule:
1st Shift | Monday–Friday | 7:00 AM–3:30 PM
A stable manufacturer serving both commercial and defense markets is adding a CMM programmer to a close-knit quality team. The facility runs Brown and Sharpe DCC CMMs across three models using PC-DMIS. Existing programs are in place but need operator-friendly revisions, and new programs will be developed as production demands grow.
This is a hands‑on, fully onsite role covering first‑piece inspections, incoming vendor checks, and full assembly evaluations. As the team expands, this person will also take on a training role with incoming CMM operators, so the ability to communicate clearly and work collaboratively matters as much as the technical skills.
What the Job Involves- Write, revise, and maintain CMM programs in PC-DMIS across multiple Brown and Sharpe DCC units
- Perform first-piece inspections on CNC machining setups and incoming vendor parts
- Conduct full assembly inspections including GD&T evaluation on complex components
- Revise existing programs to improve operator usability and overall efficiency
- Evaluate current CMM equipment and provide recommendations on controller upgrades as needed
- Train incoming CMM operators and support their development as they reach independence
- Operate CMMs directly until additional operators are onboarded
- Troubleshoot programming and inspection issues and communicate findings to quality and production teams
- Maintain accurate inspection records and documentation
- High school diploma required; AAS degree or CMM programming certification preferred
- 1–2+ years of PC-DMIS programming experience required
- Calypso experience is a plus
- Hands‑on experience in metal fabrication, machining, or related manufacturing required
- Defense, military, or aerospace background strongly preferred
- ITAR familiarity preferred
- Proficient with manual metrology tools including micrometers, height gauges, and similar instruments
- Experience inspecting machined parts, castings, and assemblies with GD&T callouts
- Able to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and troubleshoot without heavy direction
- Collaborative mindset with a genuine willingness to train others and keep learning
- US citizen or green card holder required
