Job description
Quality Technician/CMM ProgrammerBeehive Industries is dedicated to Powering American Defense by revolutionizing the design, development, and delivery of jet propulsion systems to support the warfighter. Through the integration of additive manufacturing, the company aims to meet the growing and urgent needs for unmanned aerial defense by dramatically improving a jet engine's speed to market, fuel efficiency, and cost.Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, with additional facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee, Loveland Ohio, and Mount Vernon, Ohio. Beehive is committed to grow and advance the defense industrial base while manufacturing exclusively in the USA. This role will be located at our Centennial, Colorado facility.Role OverviewThe Quality Technician/CMM Programmer performs advanced dimensional inspection activities and develops Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) programs to ensure manufactured components meet engineering, customer, and regulatory requirements. This role combines hands-on quality inspection with technical expertise in CMM programming, GD&T, CAD-based inspection, and advanced metrology.The CMM Programmer/Quality Technician translates engineering drawings, CAD models, specifications, and GD&T requirements into effective and repeatable inspection methods and CMM programs. This position serves as a technical resource for CMM programming and dimensional inspection while partnering closely with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering to identify dimensional issues, support root cause investigations, improve inspection processes, and ensure consistent product conformity.What You'll Do...Develop, program, validate, maintain, and execute CMM inspection programs using PC-DMIS softwareTranslate engineering drawings, CAD models, specifications, and GD&T requirements into effective inspection strategies and CMM programsDetermine appropriate measurement methods, datum structures, probing strategies, fixturing, alignments, and inspection sequencingPerform advanced dimensional and visual inspections using CMMs, manual measurement equipment, scanners, and other automated metrology technologiesOptimize CMM programs for accuracy, repeatability, efficiency, and inspection cycle timeValidate new and revised CMM programs prior to production use and update programs as engineering requirements changeTroubleshoot CMM programming, probing, fixturing, measurement, and inspection issuesAnalyze CMM and inspection data to identify dimensional variation, trends, and potential manufacturing issuesInterpret complex engineering drawings, specifications, GD&T requirements, and CAD models to determine product conformitySupport First Article Inspection
