Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Be ready to walk through a program you wrote: datums, probe strategy, collision avoidance, and how you handled a failed feature. Expect questions on GD&T callouts, calibration/MSA basics, and working with production under schedule pressure. Ask about Plant 3 part mix, software stack, and how programmers partner with quality engineers.
Strong fit if you enjoy plant-floor metrology, precise programming, and aerospace-quality discipline at Howmet’s manufacturing sites. Norton Shores / Muskegon County is on-site (remote = 0). Thin public employee-sentiment data; judge culture from the interview and site visit.
As a CMM Programmer at Howmet Aerospace Plant 3, your day centers on programming and running coordinate measuring machines to verify precision aerospace and related metal parts against drawings and process specs. Expect fixture setup, probe/path programming, first-article and in-process checks, data review with quality and production, and clear nonconformance handoffs on a plant floor schedule—not a remote role.
Prioritize CMM software (e.g., offline programming), GD&T interpretation, surface-plate technique, and reading aerospace drawings. Practice fixture design awareness, MSA concepts, and clear report writing. No certification package or costs were supplied for this listing.
