Quality Engineer - Metrology Job Roseville area,Minnesota USA,Quality Assurance

System Operation:
Safely and efficiently operate high-resolution industrial CT scanning systems (e.g., micro-CT, multi-source systems).
Scan Optimization:
Determine optimal scan parameters (voltage, current, exposure, filters, voxel size) based on material density, geometry, and required resolution to minimize artifacts and maximize data quality.
Fixture Design:
Design and fabricate custom, low-density fixtures to position complex prototype parts securely without interfering with X-ray penetration.
Dimensional Inspection:
Perform full 3D inspections and compare CT volume data against nominal CAD models using advanced analysis software (e.g., Volume Graphics VGStudio MAX, GOM Inspect).
GD&T Analysis:
Evaluate complex geometric features, including wall thickness, porosity, fiber orientation, and part-to-CAD variances using strict GD&T principles.
Reporting:
Create comprehensive, visually intuitive metrology and inspection reports for design and quality engineering teams to accelerate product iterations.
