CMM Programmer

About Isembard

Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics.

The role

Inspection is the last point where a mistake is cheap to fix, and at our London factory it decides how quickly finished parts reach customers.

You will programme, set and run coordinate measuring machines to verify high-precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and robotics customers, working alongside machinists, CAM programmers and quality engineers so that what leaves the factory conforms. You will help set inspection standards other sites reuse. The package includes equity.

• Write, simulate and optimise CMM programmes for complex geometry and tight tolerances.
• Choose probing, fixturing and datum strategies, and build inspection fixtures where needed.
• Carry out first article inspection (AS9102 / EN 9102), in-process checks and final inspection.
• Find non-conformances before they reach a customer, and feed corrective actions back into production with machining and CAM.
• Look after calibration and maintenance of CMMs, gauges and hand tools.

What you bring

• Several years of hands-on CMM programming in precision manufacturing, aerospace or a machine shop.
• Strong PC-DMIS, Zeiss Calypso, Renishaw Modus or comparable software skills.
• Practical knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and ISO GPS, and confidence with complex drawings and 3D CAD.
• Proven ability to inspect tolerances of ±0.01 mm and below.
• Experience with aerospace inspection documentation, including FAI.
• Useful, not essential: SPC, capability or measurement system analysis, AS9100 / EN 9100, in-process probing on 5-axis machines, or high-mix, low-to-medium volume production.
