TL;DR · Metrology Engineer

Metrology Engineer The Metrology Engineer joins the team to define and improve measurement systems ensuring product quality through the design, validation, and implementation of inspection methods, programs, and gages. This role involves integrating metrology early with design and manufacturing teams to reduce risk while providing technical guidance to technicians on programming and fixturing. The engineer will perform First Article Inspections, conduct measurement system analysis like Gage R&R, troubleshoot systemic issues, and manage root cause investigations. Key responsibilities include interpreting GD&T standards and analyzing data using statistical methods. Required skills include proficiency in CMM, 3D scanning, laser trackers, CT, and optical systems from manufacturers like Hexagon or Zeiss. Technical tools include PolyWorks, Teamcenter, NX, and Jira. The role addresses the technical challenge of ensuring high-precision manufacturing for complex assemblies while maintaining compliance with AS9100 and ISO/IEC 17025 standards.

What you'll do

  • Design, validate, and implement measurement methods, inspection programs, and gages for parts and assemblies.
  • Interpret GD&T standards to develop inspection plans that reflect critical characteristics and design intent.
  • Perform First Article Inspections (FAI) and measurement system analysis (MSA/Gage R&R) to confirm capability.
  • Integrate metrology early with design and manufacturing teams to reduce risk before production scales.
  • Provide technical guidance to technicians on programming, methods, fixturing, and complex measurements.
  • Troubleshoot systemic measurement issues and develop solutions to prevent recurring inspection failures.
  • Support root cause investigations (RCCA) and manage quality issues related to metrology systems.
  • Design and specify inspection gages, including Go/No-Go tools and automated vision systems.

What we're looking for

  • An engineering degree or equivalent technical training and hands-on metrology experience is required.
  • Candidates must have working knowledge of dimensional metrology principles and GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
  • Experience with CMM, portable arms, 3D scanning, laser trackers, CT, or optical systems is required.
  • Proficiency in CMM and metrology software is required, with PolyWorks preferred.
  • Familiarity with First Article Inspections (FAI) and measurement system analysis (MSA / Gage R&R) is required.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications is required.
  • Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
