Our client, a leading manufacturer of precision aerospace components, is seeking a Junior CMM Programmer / Quality Engineer to join their Quality team. The ideal candidate will have foundational experience in ZEISS CALYPSO CMM programming, dimensional inspection, and GD&T, along with an understanding of engineering drawings and quality assurance processes. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer or technologist looking to develop their expertise in precision metrology, aerospace quality standards, and continuous improvement within a highly technical manufacturing environment.

Position Summary

The Junior CMM Programmer / Quality Engineer is responsible for ZEISS CALYPSO CMM programming, dimensional inspection, inspection planning, and quality assurance for Dishon's precision aerospace components. The role supports production prove‑outs, customer source inspections, nonconformance resolution, and continuous improvement, ensuring compliance with customer requirements and engineering specifications. It requires working GD&T literacy, sound measurement principles, and the discipline to maintain accurate inspection records and product traceability.

This position is designed for detail‑oriented engineers and technologists who demonstrate a bias for action, provide clear and practical feedback on the shop floor, and contribute to organizational knowledge by standardizing inspection methods and preventing recurring nonconformances.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Responsibilities

• CMM programming and customer requirements: Develop and maintain ZEISS CALYPSO CMM programs in accordance with customer drawings, GD&T, specifications, and revision requirements.
• Inspection planning and drawing review: Review customer drawings and GD&T to establish appropriate inspection methods, equipment, and sampling plans.
• First‑off inspection and production feedback: Perform first‑off inspections during prove‑outs, communicate deviations, and verify corrective adjustments through re‑inspection.
• Inspection reporting: Produce CMM reports in PiWeb and upload results to 1Factory in support of inspection reports and process capability analysis.

Quality & Compliance

• Nonconformance and corrective action management: Raise NCRs, support containment and disposition, follow up on RCCA activities, and verify corrective action effectiveness.
• First Article Inspection (FAI) support: Assist with FAI activities, including dimensional reports, ballooned drawings in 1Factory, and AS2 documentation.
• Customer source inspection and CMM audit support: Prepare inspection records, demonstrate measurement methods, and address audit findings.
• Follow Dishon's AS0‑based quality management system, including document control, revision control, calibration status, and traceability.
• Support the Material Review Board (MRB) with prioritized accountability; act as MRB deputy as assigned.

Collaboration & Knowledge Development

• Shop‑floor support and operator training: Assist operators with measurement techniques, drawing interpretation, GD&T, and proper use of inspection equipment.
• Production and engineering coordination: Collaborate with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, and Applications Engineering to resolve quality issues and improve manufacturing processes.
• Continuous improvement: Standardize inspection methods and work instructions to improve consistency and prevent recurring nonconformances.
• Process improvement: Analyze inspection results and recurring defects to reduce scrap, rework, and inspection inefficiencies.

Behavioral Expectations

• Maintain strong attention to detail and accurate, complete inspection records.
• Make decisions based on measurement data; state uncertainty and risks clearly.
• Provide clear, practical, and respectful technical feedback to production personnel.
• Show curiosity and commitment to expanding knowledge in metrology, GD&T, and quality engineering.

Qualifications

Required

• Diploma, degree, or equivalent technical education in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Quality Engineering, Metrology, or a related discipline.
• Basic to intermediate knowledge of ZEISS CALYPSO CMM programming and dimensional inspection; PC‑DMIS experience will be considered.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T (ASME style="margin: 0in .5in;">Familiarity with precision measurement equipment, dimensional inspection techniques, and measurement principles.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, organizational, and communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate inspection records and product traceability.

Preferred

• Previous experience in a precision manufacturing or quality inspection environment; relevant co‑op or entry‑level experience will be considered.
• Exposure to AS0 and AS2 First Article Inspection.
• Experience with ZEISS PiWeb reporting or quality management software such as 1Factory.
• Familiarity with NCR, MRB, and RCCA processes (8D, 5 Whys).
• Exposure to SPC, measurement system analysis (gauge R&R), and measurement uncertainty.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, or space manufacturing with exotic materials and complex geometries.

Working Conditions

• Full‑time, on‑site role.
• Work is split between the CMM room, the shop floor, and the office; involves standing and handling of parts and fixtures.
• PPE required on the shop floor; temperature‑controlled metrology environment practices apply in the CMM room.
• Participation in customer source inspections and audits; overtime as required to support deliveries.
• Must meet eligibility requirements for access to controlled goods and export‑controlled technical data.
