Job Description:
Position Overview:
The Zeiss CMM Programmer and Operator play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and quality of manufactured components by programming, operating, and maintaining Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). In addition to operating CMM this position is critical to review launch of new programs and to assist with the ISO implementation.
Key Responsibilities:
1. CMM Programming:

• Develop and optimize measurement programs for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) using Zeiss Calypso software.
• Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) requirements to create measurement routines that accurately capture dimensional data.
• Utilize advanced features and capabilities of CMM software to automate measurement processes, improve efficiency, and minimize programming time.
• Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to understand component requirements, inspection criteria, and any special measurement considerations.

2. CMM Operation:

• Set up and operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) to perform accurate dimensional inspections on manufactured components.
• Load components onto the CMM, select appropriate measuring probes and fixtures, and execute programmed measurement routines.
• Conduct first article inspections (FAI), in-process inspections, and final inspections to verify conformance to quality standards and customer requirements.
• Monitor CMM equipment during operation, troubleshoot any issues that arise, and perform routine maintenance to ensure optimal performance and accuracy.

3. Quality Assurance:

• Generate comprehensive inspection reports documenting measurement results, deviations from specifications, and any non-conformities found during inspections.
• Analyze measurement data and collaborate with quality engineers and production teams to identify root causes of non-conformities and implement corrective actions.
• Adhere to established quality procedures, industry standards, and regulatory requirements to maintain consistency and reliability in inspection processes.

Qualifications:
1. Bachelor's degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering, metrology, or a related field preferred.
2. Proven experience in CMM programming and operation in a manufacturing or quality control environment.
3. Proficiency in CMM software (e.g., Calypso) for programming measurement routines and analyzing measurement data.
4. Strong understanding of engineering drawings, CAD models, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and metrology principles.
5. Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex measurement data and identify discrepancies or non-conformities.
6. Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and precision in all aspects of work.
7. Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and convey technical information clearly.
8. Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and prioritize tasks to meet project deadlines.
9. Commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and adherence to established procedures and standards.
This position will allow you to plan your own work and offers opportunities to grow within the quality role. Training and guidance will be provided.
