Position Overview

A well-established precision manufacturing company in the Sarasota area is seeking an experienced CMM Programmer / Senior Quality Inspector to join its Quality team.

This is a hands-on, programming-level quality position responsible for dimensional inspection of complex, tight-tolerance machined components. The successful candidate will be capable of determining how a part should be inspected, developing and modifying CMM programs, analyzing results, and working with manufacturing personnel to resolve dimensional and quality concerns.

The position involves a combination of CMM and vision measurement work along with traditional hands-on dimensional inspection.

Key Responsibilities

Program, set up, and operate CMM and vision measurement equipment
Utilize the Micro-Vu SOL 311 for dimensional and visual inspection of precision components
Program and operate the Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex S 7106 using MCOSMOS v5.2
Develop, modify, optimize, and troubleshoot CMM inspection programs
Determine appropriate inspection strategies based on part geometry, tolerances, and engineering requirements
Perform first-piece, in-process, and final inspections
Inspect complex, tight-tolerance CNC-machined components
Read and interpret detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and GD&T
Perform dimensional inspections using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, indicators, and other precision measurement equipment
Analyze inspection results and identify dimensional trends or nonconforming conditions
Accurately document inspection results and maintain required quality records
Communicate quality concerns to machinists, CNC programmers, manufacturing engineers, and other members of the Quality team
Assist with troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions
Support continuous improvement of inspection methods and quality processes
Ensure inspection equipment and procedures are used in accordance with established quality standards

Qualifications

Strong CMM programming experience within a precision manufacturing environment
Experience with Micro-Vu vision measurement systems highly preferred
Experience with Mitutoyo CMM equipment highly preferred
MCOSMOS programming experience highly desirable
Advanced understanding of GD&T and dimensional inspection
Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications
Experience inspecting precision-machined components with tight tolerances
Strong knowledge of precision measurement techniques and inspection methodology
Proficiency with standard inspection equipment, including micrometers, calipers, height gauges, and indicators
Ability to independently determine the appropriate method for inspecting complex components
Strong mathematical, analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving abilities
High level of attention to detail and accuracy
Experience in aerospace, medical, defense, advanced manufacturing, or another high-precision machining environment is a plus

What We’re Looking For

This is not simply a CMM operator position. We are seeking an experienced quality professional who understands the complete dimensional inspection process and can independently determine how complex parts should be measured and verified.

The ideal candidate can move comfortably between CMM programming, vision measurement, GD&T interpretation, hands-on inspection, and collaboration with the manufacturing team.

Candidates with direct experience using the Micro-Vu SOL 311, Mitutoyo Crysta-Apex CMM, and MCOSMOS software will be particularly well aligned with this opportunity.

You should be proficient in:

Aerospace Manufacturing
First Article Inspection (FAI)

Machines & technologies you'll use:

micro-vu
Mititoyo Crysta-Apex CMM
MCOSMOS
