CMM Engineer

CMM Engineer – Roles & Responsibilities
1. CMM Operation & Programming
Operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), preferably Carl Zeiss.
Create and modify CMM inspection programs for new and existing components.
Develop measurement programs using software such as CALYPSO.
Optimize programs for accuracy and inspection cycle time.
2. Dimensional Inspection
Inspect machined and cast components as per engineering drawings and specifications.
Measure critical dimensions, GD&T characteristics, profiles, flatness, concentricity, position, runout, etc.
Perform first-off, in-process and final inspection.
3. Drawing & GD&T
Read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T and tolerance requirements.
Understand datum structures and apply appropriate measurement methods.
Verify component dimensions against customer specifications.
4. Casting Inspection
Inspect critical casting features before and after machining.
Check casting dimensions, machining allowances, hole locations and critical features.
Support investigation of dimensional issues related to casting defects or machining variations.
5. Machining Process Support
Work closely with Production, CNC/VMC/HMC, Quality and NPD teams.
Provide dimensional feedback to setters/programmers for process correction.
Identify trends in dimensional variation and support process improvement.
6. Inspection Reports & Documentation
Prepare and maintain CMM inspection reports.
Maintain inspection records, calibration records and measurement data.
Prepare reports for NPD, PPAP, customer approval and rejection analysis.
Maintain traceability of inspection results.
7. Problem Solving & Quality Improvement
Analyze dimensional deviations and identify root causes.
Support 8D, CAPA and corrective/preventive actions.
Participate in Root Cause Analysis, Kaizen and continuous improvement activities.
8. Calibration & CMM Maintenance
Ensure CMM accuracy and proper machine condition.
Coordinate periodic CMM calibration and verification.
Maintain probes, fixtures and measuring accessories.
