Job Title: CMM Inspector

Location: Costa Mesa, CA

Pay Range: $32 - $38

Shift: 0600 - 1430

What's the Job?

• Perform dimensional layout inspection of machined castings and components on Zeiss CMMs using Calypso, following published inspection plans, control plans, and engineering drawings.
• Load, align, and fixture parts per documented setup sheets and inspection instructions; provide feedback to improve clarity and robustness of the process.
• Establish and verify part alignments, fixturing, and datum schemes; select, build, and qualify the appropriate probe and stylus configurations for each program.
• Interpret and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to determine measurement methods, evaluate results against tolerance, and disposition parts as conforming or non-conforming.
• Complete first article, in-process, and final inspections; record dimensional layout results in the quality system with full traceability, and document non-conforming material while immediately communicating out-of-tolerance conditions to Machining, Quality, and Manufacturing Engineering.

What's Needed?

• High School diploma AND AA Degree or completed trade school study in a quality, metrology, or machine manufacturing discipline.
• 3 years’ experience as a CMM operator/programmer in a dynamic, metric-driven, close tolerance manufacturing environment, with responsibility for programming, inspection, and gage use.
• Hands-on experience operating Zeiss CMMs with Calypso software, including the ability to create, edit, and prove out programs (not only operate existing programs).
• Ability to read and understand detailed blueprints with advanced GD&T experience (ASME Y14.5).
• Working knowledge of SPC fundamentals and capability studies (Cpk/Ppk), including gage calibration control and Gage R&R requirements.

What's in it for me?

• Work in a precision-focused inspection lab where quality data and traceability matter.
• Use advanced measurement tools and software (Zeiss CMMs and Calypso) to drive accurate, repeatable results.
• Contribute to process stability by collecting and analyzing SPC data and alerting production to drifting processes before parts fall out of tolerance.
• Support continuous improvement by providing feedback on setups and inspection instructions and assisting with correlation studies.
• Maintain a 5S-driven, safety-first inspection environment while performing required daily and periodic CMM maintenance and verification.
