Metrology Engineer

Location:

Buckingham, Buckinghamshire Salary:
Highly Competitive

Shift: Afternoon Shift Job Type: Permanent Can you take an engineering drawing or 3D CAD model and turn it into a working measurement programme? If you're an experienced Metrology Engineer or CMM Programmer who enjoys the technical side of dimensional inspection, this could be worth a look. We're working with an established automotive manufacturer in Buckinghamshire that's looking for someone who can take ownership of 3D measurement programming, first-off inspections and dimensional verification of manufactured components.

This isn't simply a case of loading parts onto a machine and running existing programmes. We need someone who understands what they're measuring, why they're measuring it and how to develop the programmes to get the job done. What will you be doing? Programming and operating FARO Arm 3D measurement equipment. Developing measurement programmes independently from engineering drawings and 3D CAD models.

Programming CMM equipment for first-off inspections and dimensional verification. Producing inspection reports, identifying dimensional deviations and supporting corrective actions. Supporting new product introduction, tooling modifications and ongoing manufacturing. Working alongside Design, Engineering and Quality teams to resolve measurement and tolerance issues. What are we looking for? Previous experience as a Metrology Engineer, CMM Programmer, Metrology Technician or similar. Hands-on experience using FARO Arm measurement equipment.

Proven ability to create measurement programmes from engineering drawings or CAD models.

Experience with CMM programming and first-off inspection . Ideally, experience using PC-DMIS , although other CMM programming software will be considered. A good understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T and dimensional inspection.

Experience with Poly Works would be an advantage, but it's not essential if you have relevant transferable programming experience. We're happy to consider candidates from automotive, aerospace, precision engineering or other manufacturing environments. The key thing is your ability to programme, measure and interpret the results, rather than simply operate equipment. What's on offer? A permanent opportunity with an established automotive manufacturer, a highly competitive salary and an afternoon shift pattern.
