The Opportunity - Williams International has an exciting opportunity for a CMM Programming and Metrology Engineer at our facility located at 3450 Sam Williams Dr., Ogden, UT 84401. The successful candidate shall apply professional metrology, quality engineering, and industrial engineering principles to optimize, coordinate, and oversee high-precision automated inspection processes for small gas turbine engine components. Operating under strict AS9100 aerospace quality systems, this role acts as a primary technical liaison between design engineering teams and the advanced manufacturing floor. The position is responsible for data-driven dimensional verification, translating complex 3D CAD models and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) blueprints (per ASME Y14.5) into functional multi-axis Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) programming logic. The engineer establishes calibration protocols, diagnoses critical component non-conformances, and utilizes Statistical Process Control (SPC) data to maximize equipment utilization, maintain unbroken measurement traceability, and eliminate structural defects across specialized aerospace production lines.
SPECIFIC DUTIES:
- Formulates, simulates, and optimizes high-precision automated inspection logic using advanced Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) programming software in native Dimensional Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS) language to inspect small gas turbine engine components
- Leverages three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD) geometric models to mathematically validate mechanical integrity, engineering specifications, and precision fabrication processes for aerospace engine assemblies.
- Architects and deploys specialized non-destructive metrology programs for physical gauge calibration and master artifact verification to enforce strict measurement traceability across critical rotating engine parts.
- Performs comprehensive First Article Inspections (FAI) on complex cast, machined, and forged engine components in strict accordance with AS9100 aerospace quality management system requirements.
- Establishes dimensional verification protocols for New Product Introduction (NPI) phases of small gas turbine engine development by executing precise metrological testing and preparing engineering validation reports.
- Consults cross-functionally with manufacturing and design engineering teams to conceptualize, model, and deploy custom CMM fixture designs that maximize component stabilization and geometric repeatability.
- Deconstructs and interprets complex Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) blueprints, evaluating advanced form, orientation, profile, and location callouts under ASME Y14.5 standards.
- Executes high-precision dimensional metrology on complex manufactured propulsion components to identify micro-level deviations, providing the empirical data required to calculate machine capability indices and maintain Statistical Process Control (SPC).
- Oversees final structural, metallurgical, and dimensional quality sign-offs on finished components to ensure compliance with engineering specifications before release to inventory.
- Manages the physical setup, multi-axis probe qualification, and calibration of scanning configurations while monitoring spherical error to maintain metrology traceability.
- Utilizes Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) to inspect high-precision aerospace turbine components and accurately record inspection data in Statistical Process Control (SPC) software to maintain quality system compliance.
- Diagnoses mechanical and programmatic non-conformances by troubleshooting system components, programming architecture, and physical fixtures, implementing permanent corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) in coordination with Quality Engineering.
This position is 100% onsite; no remote or hybrid option is available at this time.
M-F 40 hrs./wk. 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering field (U.S. or foreign degree). Two (2) years of experience in aerospace turbine engine CNC manufacturing engineering, including experience with Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), precision machining operations, manufacturing process optimization, quality systems, and CNC production environments.
