Coordinate Metrology Programmer (Aerospace Precision)
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Compensation: $35–$45/hr
Employment: Direct Hire | 1st Shift
What a day looks like
At 6:00 AM, you’re reviewing a complex aerospace drawing and planning your inspection strategy. You load the CAD model, build an offline program in PC-DMIS or CMM Manager, and choose features and datums to capture every critical tolerance. By mid-morning, you’re running a First Article Inspection, confirming GD&T callouts, and documenting results. Throughout the day, you refine routines, streamline cycle times, and troubleshoot edge cases so inspections are repeatable, accurate, and efficient. You partner with Quality and Manufacturing to resolve ambiguities and ensure parts go out the door with absolute confidence.
Your impact
- Create, validate, and optimize CMM programs using PC-DMIS or CMM Manager from CAD models, primarily offline.
- Interpret complex blueprints and advanced GD&T to plan inspection strategies for tight-tolerance aerospace components.
- Own FAI, in-process and final dimensional inspection routines, and associated quality records.
- Diagnose and correct program issues; drive continuous improvement for accuracy and throughput.
What you’ll bring
- 5+ years dedicated CMM programming experience.
- Proven ability with PC-DMIS or CMM Manager, including offline, CAD-driven programming (required).
- Deep knowledge of GD&T and blueprint interpretation.
