What is a metrologist engineer?

Metrologist Engineers are professionals who specialize in the science of measurement. They develop, maintain, and improve measurement systems and processes to ensure accuracy and precision in various industries, such as manufacturing, aerospace, and healthcare. Their work involves calibrating equipment, analyzing data, and implementing quality control standards to meet regulatory requirements. Metrologist Engineers play a crucial role in ensuring products and processes meet strict technical specifications.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a metrologist engineer?

To thrive as a Metrologist Engineer, you need a strong background in mathematics, physics, and engineering principles, usually supported by a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with precision measurement instruments, calibration software, and quality management systems like ISO/IEC 17025 is commonly required. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective problem-solving skills help distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies are crucial for ensuring accurate measurements, maintaining compliance, and supporting product quality in technical environments.

How does a metrologist engineer typically collaborate with other departments to ensure measurement accuracy across projects?

Metrologist Engineers frequently work closely with quality assurance, production, and R&D teams to guarantee that all measurement systems meet required standards. They provide expertise in selecting and maintaining precision instruments, conduct training sessions on measurement best practices, and troubleshoot issues related to calibration or data integrity. This role often involves cross-functional meetings and hands-on support to resolve technical challenges, ensuring consistent measurement reliability throughout the organization.

What is the difference between Metrologist Engineer vs Calibration Technician?

AspectMetrologist EngineerCalibration Technician
CredentialsBachelor's degree in engineering, metrology, or related field; certifications like ISO/IEC 17025 often preferredTechnical diploma or associate degree; on-the-job training and certifications in calibration procedures
Work EnvironmentDesigning measurement systems, analyzing data, developing calibration processes in labs or industrial settingsPerforming routine calibration and maintenance of measurement equipment on-site or in labs
Industry UsageUsed across manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and research sectors for precision measurementCommonly employed in manufacturing, electronics, and quality assurance departments

Metrologist Engineers focus on developing and analyzing measurement systems, requiring advanced education and specialized skills. Calibration Technicians perform routine calibration tasks, often with less formal education. Both roles are essential for ensuring measurement accuracy in various industries, but they differ in scope and responsibilities.

Job description

About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:
Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on a mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.
Combining decades of research, top talent, and new technologies, we're designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And we're working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.
We're in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we've raised nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.
Now we're looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who'll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team.
If that's you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.
Join the power movement as a Metrology Engineer
CFS is seeking a motivated Metrology Engineer to develop, validate, and deploy inspection methods for highly engineered hardware supporting the SPARC project. In this role, you'll work hands-on with complex parts and advanced measurement systems, partnering closely with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Design Engineering, Quality, and R&D to ensure hardware meets demanding performance and reliability requirements.
You'll thrive here if you enjoy solving ambiguous measurement problems, communicating clearly across disciplines, and building repeatable processes that scale. We're looking for someone who takes ownership-from defining inspection strategy and tooling, to documenting methods and presenting results-while continuously improving how metrology supports production and engineering teams.
What you'll do:
  • Develop and refine advanced mechanical inspection techniques to solve complex measurement challenges
  • Qualify and document inspection methods in partnership with Quality Engineering (procedures, work instructions, and evidence of capability)
  • Collaborate daily with Quality and Manufacturing Engineering to support production readiness and rapid issue resolution
  • Support evaluation and selection of new metrology equipment and technologies, including ROI, capability, and implementation planning
  • Maintain metrology equipment and standards; execute 5S and calibration/verification activities as applicable
  • Provide design-for-inspection input during drawing release, GD&T definition, and development of inspection standards
  • Cross-train as a Quality Technician and perform routine inspections as needed to support throughput
  • Summarize, visualize, and present critical dimensional inspection results to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Design and procure inspection fixturing and tooling to enable accurate, repeatable measurements

What we're looking for:
  • Bachelors degree in an engineering discipline, or equivalent industry experience in lieu of a degree
  • 3-5 years of experience in a manufacturing, production, or field environment
  • Demonstrated experience developing advanced metrology/inspection techniques
  • Strong communication skills, including presenting technical information to broad audiences
  • Ability to interpret complex mechanical drawings and apply GD&T
  • Working knowledge of standard machining and fabrication processes
  • Experience programming metrology and/or manufacturing equipment
  • CAD design experience
  • CMM programming experience (ZEISS Calypso preferred)
  • Experience using portable metrology equipment (e.g., Creaform, laser tracker, CMM arm)
  • CAD design experience (Siemens NX preferred)
  • Working knowledge of quality systems fundamentals
  • Comfort using Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence) or similar collaboration platforms

Bonus points for:
  • PolyWorks Inspector experience
  • Hands-on experience with a range of metrology equipment and measurement approaches
  • Experience creating and implementing procedures, work instructions, and training materials
  • Familiarity with statistical quality tools (e.g., gage R&R, DOE)
  • Quality experience in a regulated industry (e.g., aerospace, medical)
  • Working knowledge of ERP and MES systems
  • Experience working as a field metrologist or supporting on-site measurements

Must-have requirements:
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
  • Perform activities such as typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
  • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally

$70,000 - $120,000 a year
Salary range for this full-time position + equity + benefits. The actual salary will depend on level, location, qualifications, and experience. The range displayed on each job posting reflects new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Benefits include:
