Metrology Technician

Our client is seeking a Dimensional Metrology Technician to join their growing Advanced EV Metrology Lab. This role will support prototype vehicle builds and dimensional validation activities by performing complex measurements, 3D scanning, fixture development, and inspection programming. The ideal candidate will bring strong hands‑on experience with Poly Works
, portable metrology equipment
, and GD&T interpretation
, while helping establish and automate metrology processes within a rapidly expanding lab environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform dimensional inspections and 3D scanning on prototype parts, assemblies, body panels, brackets, fixtures, and vehicle components.
• Utilize Creaform scanners
  , Hexagon 7-Axis Arms
  , and other portable metrology equipment to collect measurement data.
• Develop, program, and execute inspection routines within Poly Works
  .
• Import scan data, compare results against CAD models, and generate detailed inspection reports.
• Create standardized reporting and measurement processes while identifying opportunities for automation within Poly Works.
• Build measurement fixtures and holding devices utilizing systems such as Alufix and other custom fixture solutions.
• Interpret engineering drawings and inspect parts to ASME GD&T standards
  , such as:
• Datums and Datum Reference Frames (DRFs), Feature Control Frames, Position Tolerance, Flatness, Perpendicularity, Profile, True Position
• Support prototype builds, dimensional investigations, assembly concerns, and interface validation efforts.
• Operate digital microscopes, elemental analyzers, and additional laboratory inspection equipment.
• Communicate measurement results and findings to engineering teams.
• Help improve repeatability, efficiency, and reporting accuracy across the metrology lab.

Required Qualifications

• 2-3+ years of dimensional metrology experience supporting prototype, pre‑production, automotive, aerospace, or similar manufacturing environments.
• Minimum 2+ years of hands‑on Poly Works experience.
• Experience creating and programming inspection routines within Poly Works (not just running existing programs).
• Experience with:
• Creaform 3D Scanners
• Hexagon Portable Arms / 7-Axis Arms
• Portable metrology systems
• Strong understanding and application of GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
• Ability to develop measurement strategies and perform complex dimensional inspections.
• Experience generating measurement reports and communicating results to engineering teams.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced prototype environment where priorities shift quickly.
