Pay Rate: $57.34/Hour, W 2

Duration: 12 Month Contract

Summary:

• Develop and validate robust CMM measurement strategies for standard to moderately complex parts using CAD models, drawings, datum structures, ASME Y14.5 GD&T, and production requirements.
• Create, maintain, and prove out PC-DMIS CMM programs that align with Product Quality Plans, inspection standards, and shop execution needs.
• Use Siemens NX or similar CAD tools to support CMM programming, model interrogation, inspection planning, and dimensional analysis.
• Troubleshoot recurring CMM program, alignment, probe, fixture, report, setup, result, and production-support issues.
• Support CMM hardware/software setup, probe qualification, fixture validation, and reliable execution of production inspection processes.
• Improve PC-DMIS templates, reports, naming conventions, documentation, controlled software practices, and standard work.
• Provide technical support, coaching, and clear communication to operators, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, and cross-functional teams.
• Lead improvement efforts that strengthen CMM repeatability, usability, cycle time, safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree, Associate’s degree or Machinist Apprentice graduate; or high school diploma/GED with equivalent technical experience.
• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on offline CMM programming experience using PC-DMIS.
• Experience programming, proving out, and validating CMM inspection routines in a production environment.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, drawing interpretation, model-based definition, and dimensional inspection principles.
• Ability and willingness to work on site in a manufacturing production environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Advanced knowledge of GD&T, drawing/model interpretation, dimensional inspection, and measurement strategy development, preferably aligned with ASME Y14.5.
• Demonstrated proficiency with PC-DMIS, offline CMM programming, program prove-out, and production support.
• Experience with Siemens NX or similar CAD tools, model-based definition, and model-based inspection data.
• Experience with CMM hardware setup, probe qualification, fixture validation, and measurement system troubleshooting.
• Experience with automation, scripting, or workflow optimization using VBA, Python, C, or similar tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including applied shop math, geometry, and trigonometry used in dimensional inspection and metrology applications.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while balancing production support, technical problem solving, documentation, training, and continuous improvement work.
• Experience supporting dimensional inspection or metrology for heavy-duty gas turbine, aerospace, energy, or other complex precision components.
