How to become an Aerospace CMM Programmer

An Aerospace CMM Programmer is responsible for operating, programming, and maintaining Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) to perform precision inspections of manufactured components. This role ensures parts comply with engineering drawings, GD&T specifications, and aerospace quality standards (e.g., AS9100). Key duties include developing and optimizing CMM programs, conducting first article, in-process, and final inspections, documenting results, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to address quality concerns and implement corrective actions.
