A day in the life
You start your morning refining and validating CMM programs for complex machined components using PC-DIMS and MCOSMOS. With engineering drawings, CAD models, specifications, and customer standards in hand, you map out robust inspection strategies that balance speed and rigor. You identify the right fixturing, tooling, and setups to ensure repeatable, accurate dimensional results, then back it up with measurement system analysis (MSA) and gage R&R to confirm confidence in the data.
As parts move through the process, you review and verify inspections and tests against drawings and specifications. You own the creation and upkeep of quality documentation—control plans, inspection plans, FAI packages, and PPAP submissions—ensuring they align with customer requirements and any applicable contracts. You collaborate closely with engineers, machinists, and quality control teammates, keeping communication tight and proactive. Throughout the day, you maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area aligned with company safety guidelines—and you jump in on other duties as assigned to keep production moving.
What you will do
- Develop and edit CMM programs for machined components using PC-DIMS and MCOSMOS.
- Interpret drawings, CAD models, specifications, and technical documentation to define inspection strategies.
- Select and apply appropriate fixturing, tooling, and setups for accurate, repeatable measurements.
- Review and verify product inspections and tests for compliance with drawings and specifications.
- Conduct MSA and gage R&R to validate measurement systems.
- Create and maintain control plans, inspection plans, FAI, and PPAP per customer requirements.
- Ensure projects and process-control documentation meet requirements, objectives, and/or contracts.
- Partner with engineers, machinists, and quality control personnel to resolve issues quickly.
- Keep a clean, organized, and safe work area in accordance with safety guidelines.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
What you bring
- Previous experience as a Quality Engineer or similar role; Engineering degree or related field preferred.
- 3+ years of CMM programming experience (required).
- Strong knowledge of GD&T, blueprint reading, and inspection methodologies.
