Metrology And Inspection Engineer
The Metrology and Inspection Engineer plays a critical role in ensuring product quality and reliability by developing, maintaining, and continuously improving measurement systems and inspection processes. This position serves as a trusted technical contributor for dimensional inspection, GD&T interpretation, and metrology systems, partnering closely with Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing teams. In this role, you will help translate engineering intent into effective inspection strategies—supporting product conformance, process capability, and continuous improvement.
You'll join a collaborative environment where your expertise directly impacts manufacturing excellence, customer confidence, and innovation. We welcome candidates who enjoy hands-on technical work, collaboration, and learning, and who want to grow their expertise while contributing to meaningful, high-impact products.
- Develop, validate, and implement product inspection strategies using a variety of automated inspection systems
- Optimize and standardize ultrasonic inspection programs to improve consistency and efficiency
- Program, implement, and maintain dimensional inspections using traditional CMMs (e.g., Zeiss, Hexagon) and laser-based inspection systems (e.g., Handy Scan, Faro)
- Interpret and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to inspection plans and measurement analysis
- Identify, evaluate, and support the introduction of new measurement methods and metrology systems to improve inspection capability and throughput
- Create and maintain inspection plans, measurement methods, and clear, user-friendly work instructions
- Train and support manufacturing and quality personnel on inspection systems, providing troubleshooting as needed
- Review engineering drawings, CAD models, and specifications to ensure measurability and inspection feasibility early in the design process
- Conduct GR&R, MSA, and calibration studies to validate measurement system performance
