Calypso CMM Metrology Programmer

Shape Precision: A Day in the Life You arrive at a clean, climate-controlled CNC machining facility in the Bartlett, IL area. Your first task: load a new aerospace first article onto a Zeiss CMM and build a Calypso program that pulls every micron of truth from the geometry. By mid-morning, you’ve collaborated with a machinist to fine-tune a process, interpreted a tricky ASME Y14.5 callout, and verified production parts against tight tolerances. The afternoon brings a deep dive into a measurement anomaly—troubleshooting the strategy, refining fixturing, and validating results—before partnering with engineering to close the loop on quality improvements. About the Opportunity TekPro, a direct recruitment firm partnering with leading manufacturers, is hiring a CMM programming expert to strengthen quality across aerospace, automotive, and other high‑precision components.
