This role functions as an experienced individual contributor, operating with minimal supervision while maintaining full accountability for accuracy, quality, and timeliness of deliverables. The position also includes customer interaction, technical problem-solving, and contributions to process improvement and automation initiatives.

• Perform advanced dimensional inspections on turbine castings, including airfoils, cores, and internal passages
• Develop and execute layout strategies in accordance with OEM specifications (e.g., Pratt & Whitney, GE)
• Utilize structured light / blue light scanning systems (e.g., ATOS) and Zeiss Inspect (GOM Inspect) software
• Interpret detailed engineering drawings, blueprints, and GD&T requirements to validate dimensional compliance
• Analyze and report inspection results in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 17025, AS9100, and NADCAP requirements
• Generate and review inspection reports, including First Article Inspection (FAI), qualification layouts, and multi-piece studies
• Apply metrology principles such as gage R&R, measurement uncertainty, and traceability standards
• Interface with customers and suppliers to clarify requirements, present results, and support root cause analysis
• Support troubleshooting of dimensional nonconformances and provide technical recommendations
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including inspection efficiency, data processing, and workflow optimization
• Mentor junior technicians and support training and development efforts
• Maintain a high standard of accuracy, consistency, and documentation

• 3-10+ years of experience in dimensional inspection, preferably in aerospace or turbine casting environments
• Strong proficiency in Zeiss Inspect (GOM Inspect) for analysis and reporting
• Experience with structured light / optical scanning systems (ATOS or similar)
• Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent)
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and OEM specifications
• Working knowledge of ISO9001, ISO17025, AS9100, and NADCAP standards
• Understanding of gage R&R, measurement uncertainty, and statistical analysis methods
• Proven ability to work independently on complex inspection tasks with minimal supervision
• Strong attention to detail and analytical skills
• U.S. person status required (per ITAR regulations)

• Experience with turbine airfoil or investment casting inspection
• Familiarity with OEM specifications such as Pratt & Whitney or GE
• Experience with multi-piece studies and statistical reporting
• Scripting or automation experience (Python, GOM scripting, or similar)
• Experience improving inspection workflows or developing internal processes

• Salary range: $66,000 – $86,000, depending on experience
• Opportunities for performance-based bonuses and advancement into technical leadership roles
• Competitive benefits package including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off

This position plays a critical role in ensuring the dimensional integrity of highly engineered turbine components. The work directly supports customer qualification efforts, process validation, and production readiness. This role is a key contributor to both technical excellence and overall business performance.

Qualified candidates with strong structured light metrology and inspection experience are encouraged to apply.
