Engineer II, Quality Metrology

Help shape the future of dimensional metrology at Shure.

As an Quality Metrology
Engineer II
, you'll go beyond performing measurements. You'll help develop the measurement strategies, technologies, and standards that enable our engineers and suppliers to confidently turn complex designs into high-quality products.

Working with Engineering, Supplier Quality, global labs, and technical leaders, you'll develop and standardize advanced measurement methods, evaluate new metrology technologies and equipment, improve inspection capabilities, and solve challenging dimensional measurement problems. You'll apply your knowledge of GD&T, measurement uncertainty, CMMs, and precision measurement while helping Shure build the metrology capabilities needed for both today's products and future designs.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys being hands-on in the lab, solving complex technical problems, collaborating across engineering disciplines, and influencing how measurement is done across a global organization.

This position will be onsite based out of our Niles, IL HQ.

• Supports optimum design of fixturing, tooling, machines, sensors, and measurement systems through working relationships with Supplier Quality Engineering and Design Engineering. Assists in setting the direction for dimensional metrology and applying engineering principles in support of Shure's current and future products and future Metrology lab capabilities.
• Responsible for the development and standardization of mechanical inspection and measurement methodologies and operator training.
• Assesses metrology equipment capabilities and assists in the procurement and implementation of new equipment as needed.
• Identifies technology gaps and develops technology plans to support current and future specification needs.
• Applies advanced concepts and understanding of mathematical definitions of GD&T, such as ASME Y14.5.1, and their implications to support design intent for products, tooling, and machines.
• Influences the supplier base by evaluating and aligning supplier measurement capabilities as they relate to product
• Develops and maintains expertise in the field of dimensional metrology through networking, research, and continuous education.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or related field. Graduate coursework is desirable.
• Minimum of 2 years of experience.
• Intermediate knowledge and experience in applying design standards including ASME Y14.5, ISO and other National, International, and Industrial standards.
• General knowledge of dimensional metrology and/or an applied technology in that field.
• Able to interpret, execute, and program measurement methods of 1, 2 and 3 dimensional applications using contact and non-contact computer controlled CMM's.
• Understanding of measurement applications, sampling effects and weighted distribution effects on measurement algorithms.
• Ability to apply advanced concepts and understanding of mathematical concepts (e.g., significant experience training/mentoring engineers in applying concepts in ASME Y14.5.1).
• Experience should exist in the following areas:
• Experience with metrology software packages such as Calypso, Poly Works, Zone3, Volume Graphics, PC-DMIS, or similar applications is preferred. Demonstrated programming experience with comparable measurement platforms may be considered transferable.
• Experience using and specifying precision measurement equipment in a metrology environment. Experience designing or creating measurement fixtures is preferred but not required; CAD and 3D-printing experience are additional advantages.
• Development and/or application of standards,Project management utilizing cross-functional teams including customers and/or suppliers,
• Technical writing of specifications and procedures
• Preferred:
  Knowledge of ASME Y14.5 and demonstrated experience interpreting or applying GD&T requirements. ASME GD&T certification is desirable but not required.
• Able to use professional concepts in developing resolution to critical issues and broad design matters.
• Able to exercise wide latitude in determining objectives and approaches to critical assignments.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively within a team environment.
• Ability to work independently in analyzing and implementing solutions to problems.
• Willing and capable of global travel (approximately 10%) to Shure sites, suppliers,…
