Metrology Engineer/CMM Programmer, Maritime Division joins the Maritime Manufacturing Technology team to advance maritime manufacturing through advanced inspection and data-driven engineering analysis. This role involves developing automated inspection routines for CMMs, portable arms, and laser trackers while creating alignment strategies for large-scale measurements. The successful candidate will analyze dimensional data for root cause analysis, support statistical process control initiatives, and provide design for manufacturability feedback to cross-functional teams. Key responsibilities include interpreting complex engineering drawings and 3D CAD models to validate GD&T requirements within an AS9100 certified system. Required technical skills include proficiency in PC-DMIS, Polyworks, or Spatial Analyzer, along with expertise in ASME Y14.5 standards. The role supports the full product lifecycle for maritime hardware, including underwater and sea-to-air vehicles, by ensuring manufacturing improvements through precise metrology processes and equipment calibration.

What you'll do

  • Develop and program inspection routines for CMMs, portable arms, and laser trackers using specialized metrology software.
  • Analyze dimensional data to perform root cause analysis and support statistical process control initiatives.
  • Interpret complex engineering drawings and 3D CAD models to create comprehensive inspection plans based on GD&T requirements.
  • Provide Design for Manufacturability and Inspectability feedback to the design and manufacturing teams.
  • Generate detailed inspection reports and present findings to cross-functional teams to drive corrective actions.
  • Develop and document standard operating procedures for metrology processes within an AS9100 Quality Management System.
  • Maintain metrology equipment calibration and assist in selecting new measurement technologies.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in a manufacturing, quality, or metrology engineering role.
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proficiency in interpreting and applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per the ASME Y14.5 standard.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major metrology software platform like PC-DMIS, Polyworks, or Spatial Analyzer.
  • Experience working in a manufacturing environment governed by a formal Quality Management System such as AS9100 or ISO 9001.
  • Ability to read and interpret complex mechanical drawings and 3D CAD models.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
