[Je...] Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Ziprecruiter.com states that the average salary for a CMM programmer is $57,005/year or $27/hour. Remarkably, the spread between salaries is vast. Location is a one of the more significant contributors. Those of us who have been programmers for a while know that job responsibilities, skill level and knowledge vary. Often when discussing compensation, the distinction is made between CMM operator and CMM Programmer. Yet, there are more levels of competency in the CMM world. You may also have to serve as your company's GD&T expert, their in-process inspector or be tasked with programming other software-driven machines. Product and industry are also noteworthy factors. The fact that I am working for an AS9100 / ITAR compliant company whose products perform in harsh environments like outer-space, downhole drilling, military, flight and performance racing helped me make a leap in compensation from my previous job. It can be difficult for a CMM Programmer to help an employer understand their full value. I'd welcome any ideas on how you have successfully distinguished your level of worth and proficiency and how this has helped (or should have helped) your compensation.

[He...] Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 About $60k (about 500k SEK). Working in Sweden and I guess it is kind of hard to compare between countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 As Henrik said - its hard to compare between countries. I belong a far bellow 40K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Is...] Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Once I heard from a friend in south of India that his annual income was like 6.5K USD.. Is obvious that is not possible to compare salaries among regions, but that also remember me that in some countries is not common to take in account the gross annual income because the process to pay taxes is automatic and part of the income is paid as services. Then (for example) maybe some people from south America or Asia could say that their annual income is around 20K USD, which in reality could be bigger than 30K USD… Other limitation of this comparisons is that a family could have decent life style in some regions with 18K USD but in some countries that’s only the payment of the rent.

[Cl...] Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 21 years experience, aerospace/automotive/medical device. I am hourly and I gross $70,070 annually. I work a 50 hour week. Very little overtime beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I'm in the 50 - 60k annually range with 15 going on 16 years of experience. I believe Michigan averages the best salary for CMM *Programmers*. To me its funny how companies I've worked for have under-valued and under-compensated Programmers like us considering the demand for us out there right now. I get 3 emails, 5 calls a day from recruiters and companies looking to hire, I can't be the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 It's all about supply and demand. If you are the only guy, you can negotiate a much higher salary than if there are more programmers available. I would also suggest to dip your hands into the quality engineering side of things, mainly in data analysis. At my previous employer I was not only the Metrologist, but also handled all of the data analysis of anything related to CMM inspection, and we measured a lot of parts each day.

[Ca...] Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Is this based on a 40 hour work week? I average around 50 hours a week here. I'm curious how many hours a week the rest of us work. Maybe a future survey will present itself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Standard 50 hour week. 40 hours at straight time, 10 hours at time and a half 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm at 63k, one of four metrologists at my location, but the only one that can program the CMM's. Union shop though, so all the metrologists get the same pay and no negotiating. That's assuming 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Most weeks I work 52 hours with 6 at time and a half and 6 at double time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Am...] Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I answered as if I only worked 40hrs a week, although for the past two years ive been able to consistently get 15k+ that from overtime, I just don't like counting the OT into it. However if I was looking for another job and it was salary I woudln't take it unless the salary was my pay with the OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ün...] Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I am working in Turkey and 45 hours per week. My salary is 96k per year in Turkish lira. If I convert it to dollars, it equals 12.4k. (1 dollar = 7.5 turkish lira) It is ridiculous to compare this due to the exchange rate difference between countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I'm at $28.00 per hour but I'm on pace to make around 70k for this year. Tons of overtime this year plus I have a second job programming for an aerospace company. This is by far the best job I've ever had but I'm going to be slowly transitioning to Quality engineer hopefully next year. Not much advancement in metrology programming left in my work and engineering is always the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want no part of it, seeing how they are worked, and let go, here. I also refuse to work OT for free. Hourly position is much more secure. My base salary is in the $60k + range. OT can push me quite higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
