What this job asks for AI summary
This role centers on writing, validating, and maintaining CMM inspection programs for precision-machined aerospace and defense parts, using Zeiss equipment and Calypso software. Day-to-day work involves interpreting engineering drawings, applying GD&T principles, supporting first article and in-process inspections per AS9102, and collaborating with Quality, Engineering, and Production teams to resolve dimensional discrepancies. It suits an experienced Calypso programmer with a background in tight-tolerance metrology.

Why we read it this way (5)
This role is a specialized metrology/CMM programming position in aerospace and defense manufacturing — it does not map cleanly to any standard computer/mathematical SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available code; 15-1211 is noted as an alternative but is also a poor fit. The role is fundamentally a precision manufacturing quality/inspection occupation.
The title says 'Calypso Programmer I', which implies an entry-level designation, but the requirements (independent CMM programming, GD&T application, AS9102 FAI, tight-tolerance aerospace inspection, and optional mentoring of junior staff) support a Mid-level assessment.
The very wide salary range ($50,000–$130,000/year) reflects the posting's explicit 'depending on experience' language and the fact that this role may be filled at multiple experience levels.
AS9102 First Article Inspection is listed under 'What You Bring' but framed as 'familiarity with' rather than a hard gate, so it is marked as preferred.
Precision metrology equipment (micrometers, calipers, indicators, height gauges, optical inspection) is mentioned as a requirement but names a category of physical tools rather than a specific named technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
