RELOCATION ASSISTANCE IS OFFERED FOR THIS ROLE

The Dimensional Inspector / Metrology Technician plays a critical role in ensuring that manufactured components meet the required specifications through accurate dimensional inspection and documentation. This salaried non‑exempt position involves a combination of hands‑on metrology work and reporting responsibilities, supporting engineering and quality teams in both new product development and production environments.

• Inspect cast, machined, molded, stamped, and forged parts made from metal, plastic, rubber, and polymer materials.
• Use precision mechanical measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, height stands, surface plates) to verify dimensional conformance.
• Interpret ASME and ISO-compliant engineering drawings; apply fundamental GD&T concepts in routine inspections.
• Operate 2D and 3D vision systems to collect and evaluate measurement data.
• Use dimensional analysis software such as Poly Works (or equivalent) for point‑cloud evaluation.
• Operate Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) using PC‑DMIS software; follow established programs and setups based on part numbers.
• Assist with basic CMM program edits and adjustments as needed.
• Compile inspection results in Excel and other digital formats; ensure accuracy and clarity in reports.
• Support calibration and maintenance of measurement tools and equipment; maintain documentation records.
• Utilize 2D CAD (.dxf) files and solid models in inspection systems where applicable.
• Prioritize work using job tracking tools and communicate inspection status with internal stakeholders.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to share inspection findings and support continuous improvement.
• Safely disassemble/reassemble parts for inspection purposes and handle materials using overhead cranes, pallet jacks, and lifting devices.
• Maintain organization of inspection work‑in‑process and clearly segregate scrap material; keep work‑in‑process (WIP) and scrap materials in designated storage areas.
• Collaborate effectively with team members to complete shared inspection projects and meet deadlines.

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or technical training in metrology, mechanical inspection, or related field preferred.
• 2–5 years of experience in a manufacturing‑based mechanical inspection or metrology role.
• Proficient with standard inspection tools and vision systems.
• Familiarity with PC‑DMIS, Poly Works, or equivalent dimensional analysis software.
• Strong working knowledge of engineering drawings and GD&T fundamentals.
• Competency with Microsoft Excel and digital inspection reporting tools.
• Strong communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a dynamic production environment.

• Ability to lift up to 40 pounds occasionally.
• Must be able to stand for extended periods and operate manual and automated inspection tools.
• Use of overhead cranes, pallet jacks, and other material‑handling equipment required.

• Work is performed in a clean, temperature‑controlled metrology lab and on the production floor.
• Requires use of appropriate PPE and adherence to all safety procedures.
