ABOUT THE TEAM

We are looking for a highly skilled Metrology Specialist to program, optimize, and lead complex inspections across a wide variety of products that we design and develop. In this role you will write, debug, and optimize inspection programs across contact and non-contact systems, troubleshoot the most difficult measurement problems, and help shape how the lab does its work. As the Metrology lab grows, you will work across a range of equipment - Portable CMM, CNC/fixed CMM, CT scanner, laser tracker, and optical systems from manufacturers such as Hexagon, Zeiss, Keyence, and LK Metrology - supporting incoming quality inspections, internally manufactured components, quality investigations, and root cause analysis, while mentoring other members of the team. 

WHAT YOU'LL DO 

  • Program and operate metrology equipment across contact and non-contact systems to validate that parts meet requirements.
  • Write, debug, and optimize inspection programs to improve accuracy, repeatability, and cycle time.
  • Troubleshoot complex measurement issues - determining why an inspection is failing or producing inconsistent results - and resolve process-level problems.
  • Design, build, and validate holding fixtures used on the CMMs.
  • Work closely with the Quality Engineering team to support problem-solving, root cause analysis, and product design.
  • Define best-practice inspection and reporting strategies with cross-functional teams.
  • Maintain and improve lab equipment and processes (calibration, cleanliness, best practices), reducing downtime and ensuring data reliability.
  • Train and mentor other metrology team members and serve as the go-to resource for difficult measurement problems.
  • Help ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 17025). 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, which requires regular interaction with production and manufacturing stakeholders and frequently working directly on the production floor.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 

  • 5+ years of metrology experience, including programming CMMs.
  • Hands-on experience with at least three different types of metrology equipment (CNC CMM, portable CMM, laser tracker, large-volume or automated 3D scanners, optical comparator, etc.).
  • Proficiency with CMM software; PolyWorks preferred (PC-DMIS, Calypso, Verisurf, MCosmos, or equivalent acceptable with the ability to learn PolyWorks quickly).
  • Excellent understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
  • Experience designing and building holding fixtures for CMMs.
  • Proficiency with precision measuring equipment (micrometers, height gauges, and other hand tools).
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
  • U.S. citizenship is required pursuant to contractual obligations.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 

  • Associate's degree or technical training.
  • Experience with advanced or specialized inspection methods, including NDT.
  • Experience with CT scanning and automated or large-volume 3D scanning.
  • Experience with PolyWorks|DataLoop or similar metrology data management platforms.
  • Familiarity with AS9100 or ISO 17025 quality systems.
