CMM Operator

Start the Best Work of Your Career at Boom

At Boom, every part we build needs to fly perfectly the first time. That means inspection isn't a backroom process — it's a critical piece of engineering. We’re looking for a top-tier Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) Operator who can own complex dimensional inspections, collaborate closely with machinists and engineers, and bring a deep understanding of tight-tolerance components.

If you know Verisurf inside and out, speak fluent GD&T, and have a sharp eye for what’s in or out of spec, you’ll thrive here.

Role Overview

• Program and operate CMMs using Verisurf for first-article, in-process, and final inspections
• Create and debug inspection routines from 3D CAD models and 2D engineering prints
• Interpret and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to real-world inspection problems
• Inspect high-precision aerospace parts and assemblies, often with tight tolerances and complex geometry
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with machinists, manufacturing engineers, and quality engineers to resolve nonconformances and improve part quality
• Document inspection results and support customer-facing quality records
• Help maintain and calibrate CMMs and other metrology tools to ensure readiness and accuracy
• Support root cause analysis and continuous improvement efforts

The Ideal Candidate

• CMM experience in aerospace, defense, or high-precision manufacturing
• Expert-level Verisurf programming and operation
• Strong background in machining processes and inspection of tight-tolerance components
• Fluent in GD&T, blueprint reading, and CAD model interpretation
• Familiar with hand inspection tools — micrometers, indicators, height gages, etc
• Understands ISO 9001 / AS9100 environments
• Detail-driven, self-directed, and thrives on getting it right.
• Demonstrates a strong work ethic and ambition, complemented by effective collaboration skills in a team setting
• Excels in a high-energy, independent, and challenging work environment

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience inspecting flight-critical parts or high-consequence hardware
• Familiarity with other CMM software platforms like PC-DMIS, Calypso, or Zeiss
• A background in CNC machining or hands-on shop experience
• Passion for process improvement and a mindset that sees inspection as a craft, not just a task

Compensation

The Base Rate for this position is $31- $39 per hour. Actual rate will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance.
