• Lead dimensional root‑cause analysis, data trending, and corrective/preventive actions.
• Serve as the GD&T subject‑matter expert, training teams and advising on datum schemes, tolerance stack‑ups, and inspection feasibility.

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 3–5 years of experience in metrology, dimensional engineering, quality engineering, or design engineering.
• Advanced knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) with the ability to interpret drawings and define effective datum strategies.
• Hands‑on experience programming and operating CMM/OMM, Poly Works, PC‑DIMS, and Calypso.
