Salary: $100K to $115K Annual base

Duties/Responsibilities

  • Develop, edit, and validate complex CMM programs using latest Camio software.
  • Perform dimensional inspection of aerospace engine hardware such as blades, vanes, disks, rings, cases, seals, and various precision features.
  • Interpret engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, GD&T, and aerospace OEM specifications.
  • Conduct First Article Inspections (FAI) in accordance with AS9102 requirements.
  • Generate detailed, accurate inspection reports and measurement results for internal teams and customer submission.
  • Work closely with quality engineering, manufacturing, and machining teams to resolve dimensional, tolerance stack-up, and process-related issues.
  • Validate CMM programs through dry runs, correlation checks, and measurement repeatability testing.
  • Ensure proper calibration, maintenance, and performance of Zeiss CMM equipment.
  • Maintain revision control of programs, fixtures, and inspection documentation.
  • Support corrective actions, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives related to metrology and inspection processes.
  • Apply best practices for measurement of tight-tolerance, thin-wall, intricate geometries, and high-temperature aerospace materials (Inconel, Waspaloy, Titanium).
  • Develop and deploy standardized CMM program templates and macros to improve efficiency, consistency, and reduce development time.
  • Conduct and analyze correlation studies between different CMMs and measurement methods.
  • Implement high-level conditional programming within Calypso to create flexible, intelligent inspection plans that adapt to part variations.
  • Utilize VB scripting to automate repetitive tasks, customize measurement routines, and generate specialized reports.

  • 2-5+ years of experience in CMM programming or metrology in a precision manufacturing or aerospace environment.
  • Proficiency in Camio software and hands-on operation of LK equipment.
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and 3D model interpretation.
  • Experience inspecting aerospace hardware or similarly complex, tight-tolerance components.
  • Knowledge of AS9100, AS9102, and engine OEM dimensional requirements.
  • Ability to diagnose measurement issues caused by fixturing, environment, part geometry, machine capability, or part/program setup.
  • Proficiency in generating clear, traceable measurement reports.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.

Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science, or Chemical Engineering
  • 2-5 years' experience in a manufacturing environment involving metals
  • Experience inspecting engine rotating hardware (airfoils, rotors, disks, seals).
  • Familiarity with other metrology systems such as PC-DMIS, Calypso, GOM, PolyWorks, or Faro laser scanning.
  • Background in aerospace manufacturing, MRO, or engine build support.
  • Understanding of SPC, MSA, and dimensional analysis methodologies.
  • Experience with model-based definitions (MBD) and digital inspection workflows.
  • Candidate should be a self-starter and able to work with minimal direction
  • Excellent judgment and professional maturity
  • Expert ability to craft clear communications
