Calypso CMM Programmer

The Pivot Group
Lansing, MI

Step into a role that empowers you to own the precision behind mission-critical components. This is a standout opportunity for an experienced Zeiss Calypso programmer to join a team where quality isnt just a checkpointits a core value. If you thrive in environments that demand technical excellence and hands-on ownership, this could be your next pivot.

The company manufactures high-integrity components for industries like aerospace and medical devices, where forged parts undergo extensive post-machining inspection. With over 30 CMMs across the facility and an urgent need for deep Zeiss programming knowledge, your expertise will directly impact throughput, compliance, and product performance.

What Youll Do:

  • Develop and optimize Zeiss Calypso programs for complex machined and forged parts

  • Drive first-article, in-process, and final inspection routines across multiple lines

  • Interpret GD&T-heavy prints with theoretical and non-standard datums

  • Perform advanced dimensional analysis and troubleshooting

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure measurement strategies align with production and engineering goals

  • Mentor junior CMM users and support triage-level troubleshooting with OEM partners

What Youll Need:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience programming with Zeiss Calypso software

  • Deep familiarity with CMM inspection of forged and/or machined components

  • Ability to navigate and interpret complex GD&T, including theoretical dimensions

  • Experience managing multiple inspection routines and adapting programs for part revisions

  • Solid understanding of shop floor inspection workflows and manufacturing processes

Whats Preferred:

  • Background in aerospace or medical device environments

  • Exposure to tooling or die inspection

  • Comfort supporting a high-volume, high-complexity CMM lab

  • Experience coordinating with quality engineering or CNC teams for measurement strategies

Titles That Should Apply:

  • Zeiss CMM Programmer

  • Dimensional Metrology Specialist

  • CMM Application Engineer

  • Quality Technician with Zeiss Calypso experience

  • Inspection Programmer (Zeiss-focused)

Why It Matters:

This team has seen major changes in recent yearsmoving from a robust programming group to a lean operation. With only one current Zeiss programmer on staff, your arrival will restore needed bandwidth and stability to a critical function. You wont be siloed; instead, youll be a go-to expert helping the organization pivot back to full strength.

If youre ready to lead with your skills, make an immediate impact, and work on components that truly matterthis is your moment.
