The CMM programmer/Metrology Technician performs inspection (receiving, in-process, final product) for compliance to specifications as available from drawings, job tickets, and samples etc. The inspection results are typically reported in AS9102 format to be delivered to the customers.

In addition to the standard measuring equipment (Caliper and Micrometer etc.) the Technician uses visual CMM and touch probe to measure products during inspection. As such, this position is responsible for CMM programming using strong knowledge of Measure X and Measure-mind Software as well as touch probe. Dispositions of any deviation found need to be addressed teaming up with Metrology Manager and others as needed.

Additionally, the Technician will be responsible for other metrology tasks .

This position requires exposure to information which is subject to US export control regulations, i.e. the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
