[Ra...] Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Guys, I know this is not the place to ask but still I am doing it. I have an interview tomorrow for GD&T and CMM operations based job role I wanted to know if anyone can suggest some probable questions and things I should brush up.

[Ri...] Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Anytime I ask someone GD&T/CMM questions to feel out their knowledge, I go for: "Please describe, and give an example of Angularity." "Please describe, and give an example of how Profile can control Size, Form, and Location depending on its Datum Reference Frame." "Please describe, and give an example of the Can/May/Must Rule." "Please explain the difference between a material modifier on the feature, and the datum." "Please give an example on how the ISO standard differs from the ASME standard."

[Er...] Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Items I would refresh, just because I'd have a brain freeze 😃 6 degrees of freedom ALL of the GDT symbols and their meaning. Y14.5-Go through the basics of each symbol, twice if I forgot the meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ro...] Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 If anyone asks you a question and you don' have any clue on the correct answer, just have this answer memorised. Works every time! https://youtu.be/ZPXEdJ_Gtx0 Just kidding, good luck on your interview. I'm always glad to hear when people leave a job for what they are hoping is a better job.

So, like, one of them is for Americans, you know, and they like mostly live closer to us, and like, the other one is for International people that, like, live a lot farther away.

It's not about weeding people out, it's about finding out what areas people are strong at, and where there is room for improvement. Always open to build people up. Not trying to knock anyone down.

[Je...] Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 . Ramesh, My experience with interviewing for a CMM job (I did fourteen interviews last summer) was that most employers generally don't quiz you on the spot about GD&T. It depends who is performing the interview. Often the person doing the interview does not have knowledge about GD&T and/or coordinate measuring machines. They attempt to confirm your skillset by asking about relevant experiences, training and certifications you may have. I obviously didn't interview with Richard, because he offered terrific questions that employers for CMM programmers should ask more often. Also, I did have to take a general knowledge exam for one of my interviews that took 2-3 hours to complete and included topics like spatial understanding and math. I've heard that interviewers often make up their mind up about a candidate within the first five minutes of the interview. Things like maintaining eye-contact, professional tone and attitude go a long way for a candidate. Humility is also an unrated quality for winning over employers. Good luck!

I got Quizzed at my last interview, she said "Here is a part print, its got a slot callout with a profile, unequal distribution all to one side, so |0.005(U)(0)|ABC| Question, should the slot be big or small to be in tolerance.kjghghfdgfdfs.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ro...] Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Please sign in to view this quote. Correct. Slot should move away from Maximum condition, so an ID feature (hole) should get larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Da...] Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I am having an interview soon for the Lead Metrologist position and I need to do 15min presentation about the subject below. Would anyone be able to help or have some materials where I could gain my knowledge from ? The automotive industry is undergoing phenomenal change in the move to low-carbon propulsion. 'Company name' is committed to meeting and exceeding the expectations of our customers, delivering our unique version of Modern Luxury to the global marketplace. On this journey, there are technical, economic, political and ethical challenges involved in the design, supply chain and manufacturing of the various propulsion types. Please prepare a 15-minute presentation to illustrate the high-level challenges facing a Powertrain Engineering department, articulate how these challenges might drive technological changes from the viewpoint of Metrology, and define how you would ensure Engineering Designs meet a high level of Quality in terms of GD&T.

[Ch...] Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 In terms of Luxury Automotives : I would be thinking quiet gearboxes / gear trains; which involves appropriate gear GDT and metrology practices. Also standard for mechanics and automotive : making sure parts are round and flat to precision tolerances helps cars to run smooth and quiet. Good luck.

[Je...] Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 . That's exciting, Daniel. Go get em'. I would talk about your appreciation for the adeptness of GD&T to maximize manufacturability and provide alignment throughout the value stream. Ambiguity gives way to standardized tolerancing practices. This enables a luxury brand to deliver lean refinement. Successful engineering can be achieved in less iterations because the geometrically toleranced prints provide manufacturable parts with less waste. You will commit to evangelizing conformity in-house to proper GD&T. You will set the expectation that designers do not work from tribal knowledge and individualized tolerancing behaviors but rather understand GD&T and work cooperatively to achieve alignment. Powertrains, like any system of movement and mating, are controlled best by focusing on geometric relationships. Although legacy plus/minus tolerancing is prone to hyper-focusing on size, you will communicate the usefulness of tools like Runout, which can simultaneously control size, location, form and orientation. By incorporating the functional simulation of GD&T, you will level-up their engineering in a way that directly translates to value to the customer, including meeting and exceeding low-carbon targets.
