Why this job is worth considering

Skyway Precision needs a CMM programmer who can also run the machine. You will write and maintain CMM programs for the quality department and support Skyway's Michigan manufacturing facilities, working with engineering and sales on the most efficient way to measure each part.

• Run CMMs and perform first-article, in-process and final inspection as needed
• Read blueprints and apply GD&T
• Work with engineering to set inspection criteria for each operation so parts meet customer specifications
• Maintain CMM program files on the master network drive
• Work with CMM operators on part setup, fixturing and measuring practices
• Troubleshoot metrology and manufacturing issues, and help train other CMM staff

Schedule: 4 x 10-hour days. Employees typically work Fridays as well, so overtime is regular.
