About the role
As a Dimensional Metrology & CMM Programming Technician, you’ll be the person production, engineering, and our suppliers count on to validate that every part meets customer, company (RGC), and industry standards. Your day moves from the production floor to the inspection lab, combining hands-on measurement with methodical documentation and continuous improvement.
A day in the life
