What is laser scanning?

A Laser Scanning job involves using specialized equipment to capture high-precision 3D data of objects, buildings, or landscapes. Professionals in this field operate laser scanners to collect spatial information, which is then processed into digital models for applications in construction, engineering, archaeology, and other industries. They may also analyze and interpret scan data to assist in project planning, inspections, or restorations. This role requires knowledge of scanning technology, software, and data processing techniques.

What skills and qualifications are needed for laser scanning?

To excel in Laser Scanning, you need expertise in 3D data acquisition, spatial analysis, and site documentation, often backed by experience or education in surveying, engineering, or geospatial sciences. Familiarity with laser scanning equipment (such as terrestrial LiDAR scanners), data processing software (like Autodesk ReCap or Leica Cyclone), and relevant certifications (e.g., Certified Survey Technician) is crucial. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and strong communication skills help professionals accurately interpret data and effectively work with project teams. These skills are essential to ensure precise data capture, meet project requirements, and facilitate smooth collaboration in various environments.

What does a laser scanning professional do?

In a Laser Scanning role, your daily tasks generally involve preparing, operating, and maintaining laser scanning equipment at job sites to capture accurate 3D data of structures or landscapes. You’ll also process and analyze point cloud data using specialized software, create detailed reports or 3D models, and collaborate closely with surveyors, engineers, or architects to ensure the data meets project specifications. Most roles require a mix of fieldwork and office work, so adaptability is important. Attention to safety protocols and quality assurance checks is also a regular part of the job to guarantee high-quality deliverables that support project success.

Job description

ReLogic Research, Inc. is seeking a self-starting and highly-motivated individual to join our team! ReLogic's central focus is to continually promote a culture that stimulates personal, professional, and intellectual growth, while developing elegant solutions to tough problems. We encourage teammates to be self-governing based on high standards of professionalism and judgement.
What You'll Do
This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong design component. You'll operate and apply advanced 3D scanning systems, produce high-quality CAD models from scan data, and support mechanical design projects from concept through fabrication. Day-to-day work spans digital measurement, reverse engineering, and design of tooling and hardware with direct impact on customer deliverables.
3D Scanning & Optical Metrology
  • Operate structured-light, laser, and photogrammetry scanners (Smarttech3D, ATOS, Hexagon, Leica) to capture detailed 3D geometry of components and assemblies
  • Perform Digital Image Correlation (DIC) data capture on hardware and material tests
  • Conduct dimensional inspections using Control X and GOM Inspect, applying GD&T best practices to verify part conformance

CAD Modeling & Reverse Engineering
  • Build parametric and surface 3D models in Geomagic Design X and Geomagic Wrap, working from scan data to reconstruct design intent or meet customer specifications
  • Produce engineering drawings and system schematics from scan-derived models
  • Collaborate with the design team to validate and refine models for downstream manufacturing use

Mechanical Design & Fabrication Support
  • Design tooling, fixtures, prototype hardware, and system assemblies - from sketch through CAD to fabricated part
  • Perform analyses to support and substantiate design approaches
  • Develop and optimize inspection and scanning workflows tailored to customer hardware and requirements

Qualifications
Education & Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 2-5+ years of experience in mechanical design, metrology, quality inspection, or 3D scanning applications
  • Background in aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or industrial equipment is a strong plus

Technical Skills - Core
  • Hands-on experience with 3D scanning technology (structured light, laser scanning, or photogrammetry)
  • Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks preferred; CATIA, NX, or similar also considered)
  • Solid understanding of GD&T and ability to read and create engineering drawings
  • Experience with metrology or inspection software (Geomagic, PolyWorks, or similar)

Technical Skills - Nice to Have
  • Experience with reverse engineering workflows and scan-to-CAD processes
  • Familiarity with automation or robotic scanning systems
  • Basic programming or scripting (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for workflow automation

Communication & Collaboration
  • Self-starter who can manage projects independently and communicate progress clearly
  • Comfortable working with customers on-site to understand requirements and demonstrate solutions
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills to solve tough problems
  • Willingness to travel approximately 25-50% for on-site support, demos, and customer engagement

Why ReLogic
  • Work on a wide variety of hardware - no two projects look the same
  • Use industry-leading scanning and metrology equipment from day one
  • A culture that values engineering, technical leadership, personal judgement, and autonomy
  • Full benefits, competitive salary, and a collaborative team enviroment that takes the work seriously

In addition to completing the application in BambooHR, please send a brief note about your interest, and any portfolio or previous projects highlighting your capability to hr@relogicresearch.com.
This is a full-time salaried position with full benefits offered. Approximately 25-50% of travel is expected.
