Live In Cmm Programmer information

Are live in CMM programmers in demand?

Live-in CMM programmers are in demand in manufacturing and quality control sectors that require precise measurement and inspection using coordinate measuring machines. Skills in programming CMMs, understanding of metrology, and familiarity with software like PC-DMIS increase employability, especially in industries with strict quality standards. Demand varies by region and industry growth, but skilled CMM programmers are generally considered valuable for ensuring product accuracy and compliance.

What is the difference between Live In Cmm Programmer vs CMM Inspector?

AspectLive In Cmm ProgrammerCMM Inspector
Primary RoleProgram and operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) for manufacturing quality controlInspect and verify parts using CMM equipment to ensure compliance with specifications
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, often on-site, with focus on programming and machine operationQuality control labs or manufacturing sites, focusing on inspection and measurement
CredentialsTechnical training in CMM programming, often with certifications like CNC or metrology coursesQuality assurance certifications, metrology training, and experience with CMM inspection

While both roles involve CMM technology, the Live In Cmm Programmer primarily focuses on programming and operating CMM machines, whereas the CMM Inspector concentrates on inspecting parts to ensure quality standards are met. The roles are complementary within manufacturing quality control but differ in responsibilities and daily tasks.

Job description

CMM Operator (Zeiss/LK)-2nd Shift
$25-$29/hr + 10% Shift Differential | Day 1 Benefits | Weekly Pay | 75+ Years of Stability
**Think BIG. Literally**
If you've spent your career inspecting parts you can hold in one hand, this role is a different animal - and for the right person, a more interesting one. Acme Industries machines **large, complex castings and forgings** - finished components measured in feet, not inches, and weighing anywhere from 50 pounds to over a ton. We're looking for an experienced CMM Operator who knows what it takes to inspect **big, heavy, high-value parts** on large-envelope Zeiss and LK Coordinate Measuring Machines.
**What Makes This Role Different**
Inspecting large components is its own discipline. On any given shift you might be:
- Staging and orienting **oversized machined castings and forgings** on the CMM using overhead cranes, hoists, and custom fixturing - not tweezers and vises
- Running programs on **large-envelope Zeiss and LK CMMs** built to handle parts that dwarf a typical granite plate setup
- Managing thermal stabilization, datum strategy, and probe planning for parts where a small setup error compounds across several feet of geometry
- Verifying tight tolerances on **one-of-a-kind, high-dollar components** for demanding industries - where a scrapped part isn't a bin of rejects, it's a serious event
If you take pride in the planning, rigging, and setup judgment that large-part inspection demands, you'll fit right in here.
**What You'll Do**
- Perform dimensional inspection of large precision-machined castings and forgings using Zeiss and LK CMMs
- Safely handle, lift, and fixture heavy components using overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment
- Interpret complex blueprints and GD&T to verify part conformance
- Execute existing CMM programs and assist with setup and alignment for new part configurations
- Document inspection results and communicate findings to machinists, engineers, and quality leadership
- Support first-article, in-process, and final inspections in an AS9100 environment
**What We're Looking For**
- Experience operating Zeiss and/or LK CMMs (Calypso and/or CAMIO experience a plus)
- **Hands-on experience inspecting large or heavy components** - castings, forgings, weldments, or similar (candidates whose background is exclusively small parts will find this a significant transition)
- Comfort and experience with overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging for part handling (or willingness to be trained and certified)
- Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
- Attention to detail and sound judgment - our parts are too valuable for guesswork
- Ability to work 2nd shift
**Why Acme Industries**
- **$25-$29/hr plus a 10% shift differential**
- **Benefits starting Day 1** and **weekly pay**
- 75+ years of stability serving aerospace, defense, and other demanding industries
- Modern, climate-controlled inspection environment with serious metrology equipment
- A shop where quality people are respected - your findings drive real decisions
**Ready to work at a bigger scale? Apply today.**
