Job description

Company Description

TMC The Metrology Company Inc. is a growing metrology company providing advanced dimensional measurement, calibration, inspection, 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and precision measurement solutions to manufacturers across Canada and the United States.

Our team works with leading measurement technologies including Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), portable measuring arms, optical 3D scanners, laser trackers, and LiDAR systems.

We support customers across aerospace, automotive, advanced manufacturing, energy, heavy industry, and other industries where measurement accuracy and reliability are critical.

Role Description

TMC is seeking an experienced CMM Service & Calibration Technician to join our technical team.

This is a full-time, field-based position for an experienced CMM technician who can independently calibrate, diagnose, troubleshoot, and service Coordinate Measuring Machines.

The successful candidate will perform CMM calibrations and performance verification in accordance with ISO 10360, troubleshoot mechanical and measurement-related issues, perform preventative maintenance and adjustments, and help customers maintain the accuracy and reliability of their CMM equipment.

This is NOT primarily a CMM operator or inspection programming position. We are looking for someone with hands-on experience working with CMM machine performance, calibration, service, and troubleshooting.

The position involves regular travel to customer facilities, primarily throughout Canada, with potential travel to the United States.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform CMM calibration, verification, and performance testing
• Diagnose and troubleshoot CMM accuracy, repeatability, probing, mechanical, and system-related issues
• Perform preventative maintenance, adjustments, and service on CMM equipment
• Evaluate machine geometry and measurement performance
• Identify sources of measurement error and recommend corrective actions
• Work with CMM probing systems, controllers, scales, and related hardware
• Use appropriate calibration artifacts and measurement equipment to verify CMM performance
• Complete calibration certificates, technical documentation, and service reports
• Program and operate CMMs
• Provide technical support and recommendations to customers
• Maintain calibration equipment and ensure proper handling of precision measurement standards
• Work independently at customer facilities while maintaining TMC’s quality and safety standards

Qualifications

• Demonstrated hands-on experience calibrating and servicing Coordinate Measuring Machines
• Practical knowledge of ISO 10360 and CMM performance verification
• Strong CMM diagnostic and troubleshooting abilities
• Strong understanding of dimensional metrology and measurement uncertainty/error sources
• Ability to diagnose mechanical, probing, accuracy, and repeatability issues
• Ability to read technical drawings and understand GD&T
• Strong technical documentation and customer communication skills
• Ability to work independently in the field
• Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel regularly
• Experience servicing Hexagon, DEA, Brown & Sharpe, Mitutoyo, ZEISS, Wenzel, or similar CMM systems
• Experience with Renishaw probing systems and controllers
• Experience using laser interferometers, step gauges, ball bars, calibrated spheres, or other CMM calibration equipment
• Experience performing CMM adjustments, compensation, or geometry correction
• Mechanical and/or electrical troubleshooting experience
• Experience working within an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration environment

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Full-time employment with a growing metrology company
• Opportunity to take a senior technical or management role within our operations
• Exposure to a broad range of CMMs and advanced metrology technologies
• Opportunities for continued technical development and training
• Travel throughout Canada and the United States
• Opportunity to grow with TMC as we expand our calibration and metrology services across North America

If you have significant hands-on experience calibrating, servicing, and troubleshooting CMMs, we would like to hear from you.
