Interview Questions

Loon4ever
Hey all!
So as one of the two guys in my shop that knows PC-DMIS and have ran a CMM, not to mention the other guy has no interest in the CMM, our Forman has asked me to conduct the interview of a prospective CMM Programmer/Operator/Inspector. To give some back ground we are an Aero shop and the boss likes his LEAN manufacturing. So of course there's never enough time, or enough people so you're always getting asked to check a part while you're barley half way through the one you're already working on.
My question to you guys is, if you were hiring a CMM Programmer who is expected to also operate the CMM and preform Non CMM Inspections what would you go about asking them? What skills do you find to be the most valuable for a CMM Programmer/Operator to have? Anything I should look for as a red flag? Also any advice of things to look for or for conducting the interview would be greatly appreciated. I will not be alone with the prospective employee since this will be my first interview but I'll be the only one there with CMM experience.
Thanks in advance for any tips or tricks you guys can shoot my way!

-Loon

  • I'm actually familiar with the ASQ - I looked into that and became a Certified Quality Technician (CQT) when I used to work as a Quality Inspector (with my MET background, I was on my way to becoming a QE). That is, until I was unexpectedly recruited on LinkedIn for a job as a Metrologist. But after looking at the CQI, it looks much more applicable to me and would help fill in some blanks (never received a super formal training as an Inspector, so this would benefit me).

    Looks like I'll be going after two certs: the GDTP (technologist level) and the CQI. I appreciate the response Cris. Thanks.

    Sounds cool. I think about getting formal training on some of this stuff too. So far I have just been stumbling along and learning as I go. Somehow I still know a ton more about GD&T than most of the designers/engineers that draw up the prints I have to work with Stuck out tongue closed eyes
