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).
