We are seeking a motivated Metrology Technician to join our turbine airfoils machining NPI team at the BladeworX facility. Reporting to the Site Quality Leader and taking day-to-day technical direction from our Senior Metrologist, you will learn to operate and program our inspection equipment and grow into an increasingly independent contributor. This is a hands-on, development-oriented role for someone eager to build deep technical expertise in dimensional inspection and measurement science within a fast-paced New Product Introduction environment.
Key Responsibilities- Learn to operate, program, and maintain a range of inspection equipment (e.g., CMMs, vision systems, and other dimensional measurement tools) under the guidance of the Senior Metrologist.
- Assist with, and progressively take ownership of, weekly inspection equipment calibrations to ensure measurement accuracy and traceability.
- Support the creation and revision of inspection programs for new and existing turbine airfoil parts.
- Participate in troubleshooting and problem-solving of inspection equipment issues, measurement discrepancies, and hardware inspection non-conformances.
- Document inspection results, calibration records, and program changes in accordance with quality standards and procedures.
- Collaborate with machining, engineering, and quality teams to support NPI part qualification and continuous improvement efforts.

- Strong problem-solving instincts — the ability to methodically break down inspection issues and non-conformances and work toward root cause.
- Attention to detail and precision — a natural rigor with data, tolerances, and documentation.
- Ownership and initiative — willingness to take responsibility for tasks and follow through with minimal supervision as skills develop.
- Collaboration and communication — comfort working closely with a mentor and cross-functional teams, and the ability to clearly explain findings.
- Adaptability and resilience — the capacity to thrive in a dynamic NPI environment where priorities and part designs evolve.
- Technical aptitude — an interest in programming, geometry/GD&T concepts, and mechanical systems.
