What is a Faro Arm Programmer?

A Faro Arm Programmer is a specialist who operates and programs portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) known as Faro Arms. These professionals use the device to capture precise 3D measurements of objects, parts, or assemblies, often for quality control, reverse engineering, or inspection tasks in manufacturing and engineering environments. The role requires knowledge of measurement software, CAD programs, and a strong attention to detail to ensure accurate results. Faro Arm Programmers are essential in industries where precision measurement is critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Faro Arm Programmer?

To thrive as a Faro Arm Programmer, you need a solid understanding of precision measurement, CAD/CAM principles, and experience with 3D metrology, typically supported by technical training or an engineering background. Proficiency in using FARO Arm hardware, metrology software like PolyWorks or Geomagic, and interpreting technical drawings is essential. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills help ensure accurate data collection and effective collaboration with engineering and production teams. These skills are crucial for maintaining quality standards, optimizing manufacturing processes, and ensuring that components meet stringent specifications.

What are some typical challenges Faro Arm Programmers face when working with complex parts or tight tolerances?

Faro Arm Programmers often encounter challenges when measuring complex geometries or working with parts that require extremely tight tolerances. Ensuring precise alignment and repeatability can be difficult, especially in environments with vibration or temperature fluctuations. Additionally, interpreting CAD data accurately and integrating measurement results into quality documentation requires strong attention to detail and proficiency with metrology software. Collaboration with machinists, engineers, and quality teams is key to overcoming these challenges and maintaining high-quality standards.

What is the difference between Faro Arm Programmer vs CMM Programmer?

AspectFaro Arm ProgrammerCMM Programmer
CredentialsTypically requires CAD/CAM software knowledge, technical training, and sometimes certification in Faro measurement systemsRequires CAD/CAM software skills, metrology training, and often CMM-specific certifications
Work EnvironmentWorks primarily in manufacturing, quality control labs, or on the shop floor using portable Faro armsWorks in quality labs or manufacturing facilities using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs)
Industry UsageCommon in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing for precise measurements and inspectionsUsed across similar industries for detailed dimensional analysis and quality assurance

The Faro Arm Programmer and CMM Programmer roles share skills in measurement and CAD software but differ mainly in equipment and work environment. Faro Arm Programmers focus on portable measurement devices, while CMM Programmers work with stationary coordinate measuring machines. Both roles are vital for quality control in manufacturing industries.

Job description

Quality Inspector / QC Technician
Location: Rochester, NY
Pay Rate: $28-$34/hour, based on experience
Overview
This third-generation, family-owned precision sheet metal manufacturer has spent over 60 years running the full production lifecycle in-house - from design and tooling through fabrication, robotic welding, and finishing - across 200,000+ square feet of manufacturing space. Growing toward $100M in revenue, they're adding a newly created seat to their Quality team for someone who wants hands-on inspection work on the floor, not a desk in a lab.
You'll handle first piece, receiving, in-process, and final inspection alongside operators, build CMM programs from scratch, run the Faro arm and Virtek, read SolidWorks models against quality plans, and support NPI (FAIRs, PPAPs, capability studies).
Software: CMM programming software (required), SolidWorks (reading), Minitab, Plex
Compensation & Perks
  • $28-$34/hour based on experience, plus profit sharing (5%, performance-based)
  • 1st shift, fully onsite; overtime possible based on business need (not guaranteed)
  • Medical (PPO/HMO) eligible 1st of the month after 30 days
  • 401(k) with 50% match up to 6%, eligible upon hire
  • 2 weeks PTO plus 4 sick/PTO days, 8 paid holidays

Requirements
  • CMM programming experience - must be able to build programs from scratch, not just run existing ones
  • Faro arm experience required
  • Quality background in a precision manufacturing environment
  • Comfortable spending significant time on the production floor working directly with operators
  • High school diploma or GED required

Nice to have: ASQ certification, Associate's degree, Virtek, Minitab, Plex
Background check, drug screening, and physical required (drug screening does not test for marijuana).
This is not a remote position - this role is fully onsite. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
