CMM Programmer

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

CMM PROGRAMMER (STARSHIP) - 2ND SHIFT

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform precision inspection (CMM or surface plate) verification on mechanical parts, components, assemblies and materials (may include but is not limited to first article parts, in-process and final inspection on assemblies, and materials for workmanship and conformance to specifications/drawings)
• Understand GD&T requirements as applied to the engineering drawing and drawing notes
• Spot interpretation issues as applied to dimensions written or evaluation to requirements
• Select and utilize standard gauges to ensure quality. Inspect feature tolerances by selecting the tool with the required accuracy
• Candidate will be responsible to work in a cross functional environment utilizing PC-DMIS programming skills as applied to an Articulating Romer ARM and DCC CMM's
• Create, maintain, verify, retain, sort and organize all programs created to ensure they are readily available and saved to the current revision (in close coordination with Quality Assurance supervision)
• Work with cross functional teams to continuously improve the processes and specifications that govern precision inspection within the work center and beyond
• Assist engineering with making part inspection plans
• Identify engineering and design GD&T issues and errors creating ambiguity in the manufacturing and inspection process
• Make or offer suggestions on drawing changes to improve manufacturability
• Assist engineering and management research and procure tools (from gauges to CMM machines)
• Create and administer training to help others around them exceed the expectations of their job

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate
• 2+ years of CMM programming experience

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• CMM experience, including programming on multi-sensing CMMs (vision, laser, touch probe, etc.)
• Familiar with Fanuc/Siemens CNC control for on-machine probing
• Ability to assist with designing/developing quality gauging to improve efficiencies
• Understands and adheres to ISO 9001
• Able to read and understand all drawing criteria, GD&T, notes and tolerances
• Experience with set-up of CMM or Romer Arm
• Knows when and what tool is required to complete the job at hand
