Metrology Technician

Job Description Summary 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.

• 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.

• Associate’s degree or a high school diploma/GED from an accredited school or institution GE

• Humble: respectful, receptive, agile, eager to learn
• Transparent: shares critical information, speaks with candor, contributes constructively
• Focused: quick learner, strategically prioritizes work, committed
• Leadership ability: strong communicator, decision‑maker, collaborative
• Problem solver: analytical‑minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker
• Foundational understanding of GD&T, blueprint reading, and dimensional measurement concepts.
• Familiarity with CMM operations or programming a plus (training provided).
• Basic computer proficiency and comfort learning new software.
• Ability to work 1st shift (6:30 am – 2:30 pm) in a manufacturing/lab environment.

Because this role is intended to develop over time, we are especially interested in candidates who demonstrate:
Curiosity and a growth mindset — a genuine desire to learn the "why" behind measurement methods, not just the "how." 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.
