Quality Inspector - CMM Programming
Location: Kidderminster (Onsite)
Company: A world leader in rocket propulsion technology
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Quality Inspector with strong CMM programming expertise to join a world-class defence manufacturing environment. This role is heavily focused on developing, managing and optimising CMM programs to support the inspection of complex, high-precision aerospace components.
You'll play a critical role in ensuring dimensional conformity from first article through to final assembly, working closely with Quality Engineering, Production and Design teams.
What You'll Do
Create, develop and maintain CMM programs to support FAIRs, in-process and final inspection activities. Manage CMM probes, software and routines, including debugging programs and preventing collisions. Produce and maintain First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) using Visual FAIR. Interpret complex engineering drawings and GD&T to define robust inspection strategies. Carry out dimensional inspection of precision components using both CMM and manual metrology equipment (micrometers, height gauges, shadowgraph, etc.). Raise NCRs and support root cause and corrective action investigations. Inspect rework and verify corrective actions prior to release. Work with Quality Engineering to develop inspection methods for complex or non-standard parts. Plan and manage your own inspection workload in collaboration with Cell Leaders. Support internal audits and wider quality improvement initiatives. Champion safe working practices and escalate concerns where required.
What You'll Bring
Essential
Engineering Apprenticeship or equivalent practical engineering background. Proven hands-on experience programming CMMs in a manufacturing or engineering environment. Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings and GD&T. Experience producing FAIRs and dimensional inspection reports. Working knowledge of precision measurement tools and techniques. Experience supporting root-cause analysis (e.g. 8D, 5 Whys).
Desirable
HNC (or equivalent) or significant aerospace / defence quality experience. Experience working within an AS/EN9100 quality management system. Internal auditor qualification (AS/EN9100). Knowledge of PPAP, APQP, Lean or Six Sigma tools.
Why Join?
You'll be part of a highly technical, collaborative environment supporting some of the most advanced defence and aerospace products in the world. This is an excellent opportunity for a CMM-focused Quality Inspector to deepen their technical expertise while working on complex, high-integrity components in a long-term, stable industry
