Why we read it this way (5)
This role is a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) Programmer/Inspector — a precision manufacturing/metrology occupation. None of the standard SOC codes in the allowed list map cleanly to this work; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available fit given the CMM software programming component (PC-DMIS, Calypso), but the primary day-to-day work is dimensional inspection and metrology, not a conventional computer occupation. Confidence is Low as a result.
PC-DMIS and Calypso are listed as interchangeable — the JD explicitly states experience with either is acceptable and training will be provided for the other. Both are captured: PC-DMIS as the primary required skill (with Calypso as an alternative), and Calypso separately as preferred to reflect the JD's 'either is welcome' framing.
The minimum education requirement is a high school diploma or GED — no college degree is required.
Shift is 2nd or 3rd; on-site work is implied by the manufacturing/CMM context. No compensation figures are provided.
Visa sponsorship is explicitly unavailable; candidates must be legally authorized to work in the US.
