How Did You Get Into CMM Programming?

ALousyUser
Just as the title says - how'd you first make your stake as a CMM programmer?

For me it was when a recruiter on LinkedIn randomly reached out to me asking if I was interested in being a Metrologist for an international company while I was working as a Quality Inspector at a job shop in 2020, just before the pandemic. I knew nothing about Metrology/CMM programming until I blew the technical portion of the interview process and got hired anyway haha! Ended up being mentored by a professional for 2 years before moving onto a specialized CMM programming gig at another company in 2022.

I figured - as it seems like a lot of us got on-the-job training for CMM programming, you guys/gals must have some interesting stories to share about how you got to where you are now, as CMM programmers.

  • In 2006 I was working in a shop as an inspector while going to school at night to get a degree in computer engineering. The Quality manager decided the company needed a CMM and offered me the job as programmer. He knew I was a few months away from completing my degree, so it was a way to keep me there - at least a little longer. It worked. I finished my degree but stayed with that company another 9 years doing CMM programming and QE work.
