CMM Programmer/Senior Quality Technician

CMM Programmer / Senior Quality Technician Oakville, Ontario Description Key Responsibilities: CMM Programming and Metrology • Program complex inspection routines using Zeiss Calypso CMM software, developing efficient and accurate measurement strategies based on part geometry, GD&T requirements, and specified tolerances. • Operate Zeiss CMM systems to perform dimensional validation on complex precision components, ensuring results are accurate, repeatable, and fully traceable to engineering requirements. • Review engineering drawings and model-based definitions to determine the most appropriate inspection approach for each component, considering datum structure, feature accessibility, and tolerance stack-up. • Apply optical 3D scanning technologies such as Zeiss ATOS and Keyence systems where applicable to supplement contact measurement and support first article and complex geometry inspection activities. • Maintain CMM programs and inspection libraries, updating routines as part designs are revised and ensuring all programs reflect the current approved engineering release. Inspection and Quality Assurance • Perform incoming, in-process, and final inspections on machined, additive, and post-processed components, using CMM, hand tools, and optical measurement systems as appropriate to the inspection plan. • Interpret and apply GD&T callouts from engineering drawings and model data with a high level of accuracy, ensuring inspection results are evaluated against the correct tolerance requirements. • Document all inspection results thoroughly and accurately, maintaining complete records of measurements, conformance status, and any deviations identified during the inspection process. • Initiate and document non-conformance reports for out-of-specification conditions, providing clear and factual descriptions of defects to support disposition and corrective action activities. • Adhere to AS9100 quality procedures, internal work instructions, and customer-specific quality requirements at all stages of the inspection process. Data Analysis and Continuous Improvement • Collect, organize, and analyze inspection data using statistical process control tools to identify trends, monitor process capability, and support proactive quality management across production programs. • Maintain and present inspection data using Microsoft Office tools including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, producing clear and accurate reports for internal teams and customers as required. • Support root cause analysis and corrective action processes by providing detailed measurement data, process observations, and technical input to cross-functional problem-solving teams. • Participate actively in continuous improvement initiatives, contributing metrology expertise to efforts aimed at reducing inspection cycle time, improving measurement reliability, and enhancing overall quality system effectiveness. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Collaborate with engineering, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and planning teams to resolve quality issues, provide inspection feedback, and ensure that dimensional requirements are understood and achievable throughout the manufacturing process. • Communicate non-conformance findings and quality concerns clearly and promptly to relevant stakeholders, supporting timely disposition decisions and minimizing production impact. • Engage with production and programming teams during part development and first article activities to ensure inspection strategies are aligned with manufacturing intent and customer requirements. Training, Development and Standards • Provide technical guidance and hands-on training to junior quality technicians in CMM operation, Zeiss Calypso programming, GD&T interpretation, and inspection best practices. • Support the development and review of inspection procedures, work instructions, and quality documentation to ensure they reflect current best practices and remain aligned with AS9100 requirements. • Reinforce a culture of precision, documentation discipline, and quality ownership within the metrology area, setting a consistent standard for the team through daily example. Requirements Requirements: Technical Skills & Experience • Minimum 5 years of experience in a custom machining or precision manufacturing environment, with significant hands-on involvement in CMM programming and quality inspection processes. • Advanced proficiency in Zeiss Calypso CMM programming is a critical requirement; candidates must be able to independently develop, optimize, and maintain complex inspection routines from engineering drawings. • Demonstrated experience operating Zeiss CMM systems and interpreting dimensional measurement results with a high level of technical accuracy. • Expert-level proficiency in GD&T and metrology principles, with the ability to interpret and apply complex tolerance requirements from engineering drawings and model-based definitions. • Experience with optical 3D scanning technologies such as Zeiss ATOS or Keyence systems is considered a strong asset. • Proficiency in statistical process control tools and the ability to analyze and present inspection data clearly and accurately. • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook. • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively across engineering, production, and quality functions. • Demonstrated commitment to safety, documentation discipline, and the consistent application of quality standards in a production environment. Industry & Material Knowledge • Experience in aerospace, defense, or other high-precision manufacturing industries is preferred. • Familiarity with AS9100 or NADCAP standards and aerospace quality documentation practices. • Experience inspecting components manufactured from high-performance materials such as titanium, Inconel, or aerospace-grade aluminum alloys is considered an asset. • Familiarity with additive manufacturing processes and the unique dimensional and surface characteristics of additively manufactured components is considered an asset. Education and Professional Attributes • A high school diploma is required; post-secondary education in quality, metrology, engineering technology, or a related field is considered an asset. Equivalent hands-on experience in a precision manufacturing environment will be highly valued. • Demonstrates strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose measurement discrepancies, interpret complex data sets, and support effective quality decisions. • Communicates clearly and professionally across all levels of the organization, translating technical inspection findings into practical guidance that supports engineering and production teams. • A meticulous and detail-oriented professional who maintains the highest standards of measurement accuracy, documentation integrity, and process compliance in every aspect of their work. • A natural mentor who shares technical knowledge openly, supports the growth of junior team members, and contributes positively to a quality-driven team culture. • A reliable and accountable contributor who takes ownership of inspection strategy and execution, anticipates quality risks, and upholds a disciplined, well-organized metrology environment. The expected compensation for this position is an hourly rate of $28.00 - $35.00. Actual compensation will depend on factors such as skills, education, and experience.

The CMM Programmer/Senior Quality Technician will program complex inspection routines and perform dimensional validation on precision components. They will also maintain inspection libraries and collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve quality issues.

Candidates should have a minimum of 5 years of experience in precision manufacturing with advanced proficiency in CMM programming and GD&T. Familiarity with aerospace standards and optical 3D scanning technologies is preferred.
