The Role

The CMM Programmer (PC-DMIS) will play a critical role in advancing Hadrian’s automated inspection capabilities. You will program and optimize PC-DMIS routines for highly complex prismatic parts for the aerospace and defense industries, ensuring precision and reliability in our New Product Integration (NPI) and production workflows.

Unlike traditional shops, the programs you create will run on fully automated CMM cells designed to operate lights-out. This means your work must incorporate robust programming practices and controls to ensure reliability. You’ll also collaborate with our software automation teams, who have engineer layered controls to safeguard and standardize the programming approach.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the frontier of CMM automation and help shape the future of metrology in aerospace manufacturing.

What You'll Do

  • Create and optimize PC-DMIS programs for New Product Integration (NPI) work orders
  • Interpret and apply GD&T requirements from engineering drawings; identify and resolve discrepancies
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (CMM technicians, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, CAM programmers) to drive inspection excellence
  • Design fixtures to support automated inspection
  • Troubleshoot PC-DMIS programs and improve Hadrian’s internal specifications
  • Support prove-outs of highly complex geometries with custom probes and setups
  • Partner with software teams to identify and implement process improvements

What We’re Looking For

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 2+ years of experience as a PC-DMIS programmer
  • 2+ years of experience interpreting engineering drawings
  • Experience working in a machine shop with knowledge of metrology for subtractive manufacturing processes

What Will Set You Apart

  • PC-DMIS training (101, 201, or beyond)
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, datum structures, and tolerances (form, orientation, location, profile, runout)
  • CAD software experience (NX preferred)
  • Background as a machinist or exposure to 5-axis machining environments
  • PC-DMIS API / VB scripting expertise
  • Familiarity with automated inspection processes and integration of customer specifications

BENEFITS FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES

  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
  • 401k
  • Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Equity
