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 guess I'm the odd man out on this one. I have covered some of the descriptions above but now I just say I program a 3 axis robot that measures parts. I've done the QE route, the PPAP route etc. Been around the block a few times and still don't want Quality Manager as part of my job description.
