Job description

At Layup Parts, we're developing the technology that will build the future.
We're a manufacturing technology company replacing months of lead time with days, using proprietary software, automation, and advanced manufacturing systems built for speed. Our customers are inventing what's next, in aerospace, defense, robotics, and beyond. To keep up with them, manufacturing has to change. That's what we're building.
Our customers are developing tomorrow's high-tech products, and we are building the technology, automation, and manufacturing systems that accelerate their success. We're looking for a Senior CMM Programmer who is passionate about precision and excited to establish world-class dimensional inspection practices in a fast-paced, hands-on production environment.
What You'll Do
  • Develop, optimize, validate, and maintain ZEISS CALYPSO programs for bridge CMMs using tactile probing and optical/scanning technologies to inspect composite parts, machined components, tooling, fixtures, and assemblies.
  • Set up and operate ZEISS CMMs for first article, in-process, final, and investigative inspections while creating efficient measurement strategies, alignments, stylus configurations, and collision-free inspection routines.
  • Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and complex GD&T requirements (ASME Y14.5) to create accurate, repeatable, production-ready inspection programs.
  • Analyze dimensional inspection results, troubleshoot measurement and fixturing issues, distinguish measurement-system variation from true product nonconformance, and support root cause investigations.
  • Generate inspection reports, dimensional data packages, ballooned drawings, and AS9102 First Article Inspection (FAI) documentation to support production and customer requirements.
  • Design and improve inspection fixtures, probe configurations, and metrology workflows to increase accuracy, repeatability, and inspection efficiency.
  • Lead CMM programming best practices by supporting troubleshooting, standardization, training, measurement system analysis (MSA), and implementation of advanced metrology technologies such as PolyWorks and 3D scanning.
  • Partner with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering teams to support inspection planning, calibration, audits, nonconformance investigations, continuous improvement, and maintenance of an organized, audit-ready metrology environment.

What We're Looking For:
  • Be awesome. Be the kind of person you want to work with!
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, Quality, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent hands-on experience in advanced CMM programming and metrology).
  • 8+ years of progressive experience in CMM programming, dimensional inspection, or precision metrology within aerospace, defense, automotive, medical device, or another high-reliability manufacturing environment.
  • Experience programming and operating ZEISS CMMs using CALYPSO, including complex alignments, PCM/parameterized programming, scanning strategies, stylus management, and troubleshooting challenging measurement applications.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently create production-ready CMM programs from engineering drawings and CAD models, prove out programs safely, validate results, and train operators on repeatable execution.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and advanced GD&T, including profile, position, runout, datum reference frames, composite tolerancing strategies, and complex freeform geometry.
  • Strong understanding of CMM fundamentals, probing behavior, cosine and alignment errors, thermal influences, fixturing effects, calibration, repeatability, measurement uncertainty, and good metrology practices.
  • Working knowledge ofAS9100 quality systems, AS9102 First Article Inspections (FAIs), nonconformance documentation, inspection planning, and electronic quality records.

Bonus Points:
  • ZEISS CALYPSO advanced training or certification, ZEISS application experience, or experience supporting ZEISS CMM installations, upgrades, relocations, or acceptance testing.
  • Experience with ZEISS VAST scanning probes, RDS articulating probe systems, XXT sensors, optical sensors, rotary tables, or offline CALYPSO programming.
  • Experience with PolyWorks Inspector.
  • Experience with 3D scanning, laser trackers, portable arms, structured-light systems, or point-cloud inspection for composite tooling and large freeform surfaces.
  • Experience working with composite parts.

Physical Work Requirements:
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on production and metrology environment.

  • Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds unassisted.

  • Must be capable of lifting, standing, climbing, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, and carrying on a production floor.

  • Must be comfortable working around production equipment, fixtures, tooling, and large or awkward aerospace components while following applicable safety procedures.

$120,000 - $145,000 a year
Final compensation is based on your experience, skills, and what you bring to the table.
  • Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability insurance, company-paid life insurance
  • Equity Option Grants
  • 401k plan
  • Paid Time Off: Unlimited PTO + 9 Federal Holidays
