CMM Technician (2838)

The CMM Technician is responsible for programming, operating, and maintaining Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) and other precision measurement systems to ensure product conformity to engineering specifications.

This role supports new product launches, production validation, and ongoing process control through accurate measurement, data analysis, and reporting.

The position requires strong expertise in CMM programming (Calypso, PC-DMIS), GD&T interpretation, and metrology best practices, with a focus on data integrity and measurement system reliability.

• Develop, validate, and maintain CMM programs using Zeiss Calypso software. PC-DMIS programming is also applicable in certain MPP locations
• Optimize measurement routines for accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency
• Program and operate additional metrology equipment (e.g., vision systems such as Keyence, optical comparators, height gauges)
• Perform first article, in-process, and final inspections
• Training production personnel to operate the CMM

• Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and specifications using GD&T principles
• Ensure measurement methods align with design intent and functional requirements
• Analyze inspection data and generate clear, accurate reports
• Maintain measurement traceability and documentation per QMS requirements
