Metrology Technician

We are seeking a motivated Metrology Technician to join our turbine airfoils machining NPI team at the BladeworX facility. Reporting to the Site Quality Leader and taking day-to-day technical direction from our Senior Metrologist, you will learn to operate and program our inspection equipment and grow into an increasingly independent contributor. This is a hands-on, development-oriented role for someone eager to build deep technical expertise in dimensional inspection and measurement science within a fast-paced New Product Introduction environment.

• Learn to operate, program, and maintain a range of inspection equipment (e.g., CMMs, vision systems, and other dimensional measurement tools) under the guidance of the Senior Metrologist.
• Assist with, and progressively take ownership of, weekly inspection equipment calibrations to ensure measurement accuracy and traceability.
• Support the creation and revision of inspection programs for new and existing turbine airfoil parts.
• Participate in troubleshooting and problem-solving of inspection equipment issues, measurement discrepancies, and hardware inspection non-conformances.
• Document inspection results, calibration records, and program changes in accordance with quality standards and procedures.
• Collaborate with machining, engineering, and quality teams to support NPI part qualification and continuous improvement efforts.

• Associate’s degree or a high school diploma/GED from an accredited school or institution

• Humble: respectful, receptive, agile, eager to learn
• Transparent: shares critical information, speaks with candor, contributes constructively
• Focused: quick learner, strategically prioritizes work, committed
• Leadership ability: strong communicator, decision-maker, collaborative
• Problem solver: analytical-minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker
• Foundational understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and dimensional measurement concepts.
• Familiarity with CMM operations or programming a plus (training provided).
• Basic computer proficiency and comfort learning new software.
• Ability to work 1st shift (6:30 am — 2:30 pm) in a manufacturing/lab environment.

Because this role is intended to develop over time, we are especially interested in candidates who demonstrate:

• Curiosity and a growth mindset — a genuine desire to learn the “why” behind measurement methods, not just the “how.”
• Strong problem-solving instincts — the ability to methodically break down inspection issues and non-conformances and work toward root cause.
• Attention to detail and precision — a natural rigor with data, tolerances, and documentation.
• Ownership and initiative — willingness to take responsibility for tasks and follow through with minimal supervision as skills develop.
• Collaboration and communication — comfort working closely with a mentor and cross-functional teams, and the ability to clearly explain findings.
• Adaptability and resilience — the capacity to thrive in a dynamic NPI environment where priorities and part designs evolve.
• Technical aptitude — an interest in programming, geometry/GD&T concepts, and mechanical systems.

This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, have been granted asylee or refugee status (i.e., a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
