CMM INSPECTOR

Quality Control CMM Inspector (2nd Shift)
Shift: 2nd Shift (1:30 PM – 10:00 PM, Monday – Friday) Compensation: $28.00 – $30.00 / hour (Commensurate with experience) Employment Type: Full-Time
About the Role We are growing our Quality Assurance team and looking for a detail-oriented CMM Inspector to support our 2nd shift operations. In this role, you will be a critical part of our manufacturing process, performing dimensional and visual inspections on our precision-machined and fabricated components. Using Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and manual metrology tools, you will ensure our products meet strict internal and industry quality standards. If you have a strong foundation in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), blueprint interpretation, and hands-on CMM setup, we want you on our team.
What You Will Do

• CMM Setup & Operation: Set up, calibrate, and operate CMM equipment to perform first-article, in-process, and final inspections on precision components.
  
  
• Blueprint & Drawing Interpretation: Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, CAD models, and specifications applying GD&T (ASME Y14.5) standards.
  
  
• Manual Inspection: Utilize standard precision measurement hand tools (micrometers, calipers, height gauges, optical comparators, plug/thread gauges, pins) to verify non-CMM dimensions.   
  
  
• Data & Documentation: Generate, review, and archive accurate inspection reports, first-article inspection (FAI) reports, and dimensional test data.   
  
  
• Non-Conformance Reporting (NCR): Identify, segregate, and document out-of-tolerance parts or material defects. You will collaborate directly with our engineering and production personnel to determine root causes and find solutions.   
  
  
• Quality Assurance Compliance: Support our quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001 / AS9100) by ensuring all calibration standards and procedural workflows are maintained.   
  
  

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience performing dimensional inspection using CMM equipment in a precision manufacturing or machining environment.
  
  
• CMM Software Proficiency: Demonstrated experience running CMM software programs (e.g., PC-DMIS, Calypso, or equivalent); basic editing or troubleshooting skills preferred.
  
  
• GD&T Expertise: Solid understanding of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles and ASME Y14.5 standards.   
  
  
• Blueprint Literacy: Ability to read and interpret complex multi-view mechanical drawings and CAD files.   
  
  
• Tool Skills: Proficient with conventional metrology hand tools, height stands, surface plates, and optical measurement devices.   
  
  
• Education: High School Diploma or GED required; technical certifications or trade school education in metrology/machining is a strong plus.   
  
  

Physical Demands & Work Environment   

• Comfortable working in our high-precision machine shop environment (safety footwear and eye protection required).   
  
  
• Ability to stand, walk, reach, and bend throughout an 8-hour shift.   
  
  
• Manual dexterity to safely handle delicate components and precision measurement instruments.   
  
  
• Ability to lift up to 35–50 lbs periodically.
