Hey guys/gals I am wondering how you and your CMM are used. aside from CMM operator, what titles do you carry? many? Engineer? Programmer? Metrologist?
I am a CMM programmer / (backup) PPAP Coordinator. The job I was hired to do is programming and measuring any part that requires PPAP. Weather that be a design change, new part, material change etc. I then fill out customer dimensional reports and gather other required information like PFMEA, capability studies, Gage R&R's, toxicity and submit them on their respective sites. I also program parts for ongoing capability/daily checks and also I do the calibrations that require the CMM.
The previous programmer was very inexperienced. She had one class and was expected to be the expert. She handled programming and that was it. Since I was hired salary the roles of my job have increased drastically. On top of everything listed above I have also volunteered the CMM as a problem solving tool and not just a part verification tool. So now I also help production and the engineers problem solve and I am involved in most dimensional change decisions made.
All in all this job gives me the most job satisfaction of any job I have held previously. And at a previous job (Air Force) I had a hand in the MOAB that was dropped during the beginning of Trumps presidency so that should say how rewarding this job is.
