**Think BIG. Literally**
If you've spent your career inspecting parts you can hold in one hand, this role is a different animal - and for the right person, a more interesting one. Acme Industries machines **large, complex castings and forgings** - finished components measured in feet, not inches, and weighing anywhere from 50 pounds to over a ton. We're looking for an experienced CMM Operator who knows what it takes to inspect **big, heavy, high-value parts** on large-envelope Zeiss and LK Coordinate Measuring Machines.
**What Makes This Role Different**
Inspecting large components is its own discipline. On any given shift you might be:
- Staging and orienting **oversized machined castings and forgings** on the CMM using overhead cranes, hoists, and custom fixturing - not tweezers and vises
- Running programs on **large-envelope Zeiss and LK CMMs** built to handle parts that dwarf a typical granite plate setup
- Managing thermal stabilization, datum strategy, and probe planning for parts where a small setup error compounds across several feet of geometry
- Verifying tight tolerances on **one-of-a-kind, high-dollar components** for demanding industries - where a scrapped part isn't a bin of rejects, it's a serious event
If you take pride in the planning, rigging, and setup judgment that large-part inspection demands, you'll fit right in here.
**What You'll Do**
- Perform dimensional inspection of large precision-machined castings and forgings using Zeiss and LK CMMs
- Safely handle, lift, and fixture heavy components using overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment
- Interpret complex blueprints and GD&T to verify part conformance
- Execute existing CMM programs and assist with setup and alignment for new part configurations
- Document inspection results and communicate findings to machinists, engineers, and quality leadership
- Support first-article, in-process, and final inspections in an AS9100 environment
**What We're Looking For**
- Experience operating Zeiss and/or LK CMMs (Calypso and/or CAMIO experience a plus)
- **Hands-on experience inspecting large or heavy components** - castings, forgings, weldments, or similar (candidates whose background is exclusively small parts will find this a significant transition)
- Comfort and experience with overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging for part handling (or willingness to be trained and certified)
- Strong blueprint reading and GD&T interpretation skills
- Attention to detail and sound judgment - our parts are too valuable for guesswork
- Ability to work 2nd shift
**Why Acme Industries**
- **$25–$29/hr plus a 10% shift differential**
- **Benefits starting Day 1** and **weekly pay**
- 75+ years of stability serving aerospace, defense, and other demanding industries
- Modern, climate-controlled inspection environment with serious metrology equipment
- A shop where quality people are respected - your findings drive real decisions
**Ready to work at a bigger scale? Apply today.**
