CMM Operator & Inspector

Requirements

• Conduct thorough manual inspections at receiving (to catch supplier issues early), in-process (to identify problems before final machining), and final stages (as the last quality gate before customer delivery).
• Perform dimensional inspections using precision metrology tools including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, thread gauges, and bore gauges to verify critical dimensions and tolerances.
• Identify and document visual defects including nicks, scratches, burrs, surface finish inconsistencies, coating defects, and contamination.
• Operate CMM (Zeiss/Calypso) to run pre-programmed inspections: load and unload parts, verify proper setup, and interpret results against engineering requirements
• Read and interpret technical drawings and GD&T to verify critical dimensions, tolerances, and geometric characteristics ensuring parts meet specifications.
• Maintain accurate inspection records for all visual and dimensional findings in ProShop MES in compliance with AS9100 and ISO 9001 quality standards.
• Communicate any deviations, non-conformances, or visual defects clearly and promptly with supporting photos or documentation.
• Participate in non-conformance investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action processes.
• Follow all Quality Manual requirements and AS9100 procedures.
• Maintain a clean and organized workspace following all safety procedures and using required protective equipment.
• Report safety hazards, incidents, or concerns immediately.
• Complete assigned training on time and proactively learn processes, equipment, and quality requirements.
• Communicate regularly with your supervisor and team through status updates, active participation in meetings, and improvement ideas while addressing routine issues independently and escalating non-routine matters appropriately
• Work closely with machinists and engineers to clarify acceptance criteria, resolve inspection concerns, and provide real-time feedback when visual defects are detected—helping the manufacturing team understand root causes such as tooling, handling, or process issues
• Seek feedback, ask questions, and learn from experienced team members to continuously improve
• Take ownership of work quality, act with integrity, and let customer needs guide your decisions
• Collaborate on continuous improvement initiatives.
• Assist with CNC machine operation, post-processing additively manufactured (3D printed) parts, supporting mechanical assembly operations, logistics tasks such as transporting components to/from outside processing vendors
