When people ask me what I do for a job I always say I am a CMM programmer. This always leads to confused looks. So I usually follow up with "I measure stuff." If they have further questions I hit em with "essentially I perform complex measurements using the science of manufacturing (GD&T) by programming a machine to measure parts." After that there are no more questions.
I work in the rejection department of a machine shop. The official title is Quality Assurance Rejector.
But seriously, I just tell people that I inspect jet engine and helicopter parts. I don't usually get into the CMM part unless they are actually interested.
