CMM Technician

CMM Operator / Technician

This role focuses on developing, qualifying, and implementing precise measurement processes to support high-volume production of small, injection molded metal components. You will create and validate CMM and other measurement programs, perform new product qualification activities, and provide hands-on support to engineering, production, and quality teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

• Review product designs and recommend the most appropriate measurement processes using tools such as hand measurement tools, custom fixtures, visual inspection systems, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
• Create detailed measurement processes and CMM programs for new designs, ensuring they are accurate, repeatable, robust, and practical for use in a high-volume production environment.
• Evaluate and validate new measurement processes through careful testing, analysis, and refinement to ensure consistent and reliable results.
• Perform new product qualification activities, including First Article Inspections, gage repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) studies, and capability studies.
• Support production and quality assurance activities by troubleshooting CMM programs, resolving measurement issues, and helping to disposition nonconforming or suspect material.
• Continuously improve measurement procedures and methods to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and ease of use on the production floor.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure measurement strategies align with design intent, GD&T requirements, and customer specifications.
• Apply statistical process control (SPC) techniques to monitor and analyze measurement data and support process stability and capability.
• Maintain calibration and proper use of measurement equipment, ensuring adherence to metrology best practices and internal procedures.
• Document measurement processes, inspection plans, and study results clearly and accurately for use by production, engineering, and quality teams.

• 3–5 years of experience as a CMM Technician in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in programming and operating CMMs such as OGP, Zeiss, and Mitutoyo.
• Hands-on experience using CMM software including Zone3, PC-DMIS, Calypso, or similar platforms.
• Strong understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5.
• Proficiency in blueprint reading and interpretation of engineering drawings.
• Solid knowledge of dimensional metrology and measurement principles.
• Experience conducting gage R&R studies and interpreting the results.
• Knowledge of statistical process control (SPC) and its application to production measurement data.
• Ability to troubleshoot CMM programs and resolve measurement-related issues in a production environment.
• Ability to wear required personal protective equipment, including bump cap, hearing protection, safety glasses, and safety-toed shoes.
• Eligibility to work as a US Person as defined by ITAR requirements.

• Experience working as a CMM Technician specifically with molded metal components is a plus.
• Familiarity with calibration practices and CMM inspection workflows.
• Experience with metrology tools beyond CMMs, including hand tools, custom fixtures, and visual inspection systems.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, production, and quality teams in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to problem-solving and process validation.

You will join a workplace that offers a comprehensive benefits package and supports long-term career growth and stability. Team members have access to medical (HSA or PPO) coverage with a generous HSA contribution, prescription coverage, dental and vision insurance, disability coverage through Oregon Paid Leave, group life, dependent life, whole life, AD&D, critical illness, accident insurance, and hospital indemnity. Additional benefits include flexible spending accounts (FSA), Legal Shield, a transit pass gift card, tuition reimbursement, and a 401(k) plan with a generous employer match.
