GD&T Metrology Specialist (CMM) — Aerospace Manufacturing

Do You Think in Microns?

If turning complex GD&T into elegant CMM routines is your craft, you’ll thrive here. Our aerospace manufacturing team needs a seasoned CMM professional to ensure every high-tolerance machined component conforms to customer, industry, and regulatory expectations.

Imagine This

A tight-deadline first article lands on your desk: intricate geometry, demanding datum schemes, and a tough positional tolerance. You design a measurement strategy in PC-DMIS or Calypso, validate alignments, run the program, and deliver a clean, traceable report. Production asks for help on an in-process hold—you analyze data, pinpoint the deviation, update the program, and support corrective action. Later, you verify CMM calibration and prep objective evidence for an upcoming customer audit. That’s impact.

Your Responsibilities

• Program, validate, and execute CMM inspections for aerospace components.
• Translate engineering drawings, models, and GD&T (ASME Y14.5) into robust measurement plans.
• Conduct first article (including FAIRs), in-process, and final inspections with complete documentation.
• Analyze results, report findings, and support root cause analysis and corrective actions on nonconformances.
• Partner with Quality, Engineering, and Manufacturing to elevate inspection capability and throughput.
• Maintain calibration and verification of CMM equipment and related tooling.
• Contribute to internal and customer audits; enforce AS9100 and customer quality requirements.

What You’ll Need

• 3+ years of CMM programming and operation in a machining environment.
• Strong command of GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
• Hands-on experience with tight-tolerance aerospace parts.
• Proficiency in PC-DMIS, Calypso, or comparable CMM software.
• Ability to interpret complex drawings and 3D models.
• Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 9001 systems; meticulous documentation skills.

Great-to-Haves

• Direct aerospace manufacturing experience.
• Background in CNC machining or manufacturing engineering.
• Talent for troubleshooting measurement issues and optimizing program performance.

Why Join

• Direct-hire position in a stable aerospace environment.
• Clean, organized, and quality-driven shop floor.
• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Room to grow within quality and inspection career paths.
