Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer

Frontier AI Lab; United States; Remote; USD 83,000 - 138,000; Part time

Job summary

Remotebridge is seeking a Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer for a remote contractor role. You will validate FAI reports from 3D scan data, perform scan-to-CAD analyses, and document datum structures and callouts to standards.

You will apply your metrology expertise to distinguish true part deviations from artefacts, support sign-off decisions, and contribute to AI-related metrology inputs. Strong communication and CAD interpretation are essential.

Qualifications

• Expertise in GD&T and FAI processes within manufacturing or quality environments.
• Proficiency with 3D scanning devices and inspection software (PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or similar).
• Strong background in CMM measurement techniques and uncertainty analysis.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.
• Experience producing or approving FAI reports with practical metrology knowledge.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with attention to detail.
• Analytical mindset for discerning true quality issues from setup artefacts.

Responsibilities

• Review and validate first-article inspection (FAI) reports derived from 3D scan data.
• Conduct detailed scan-to-CAD comparisons, analyzing measurement deviations.
• Set up, interpret, and document datum structures, profiles, and position callouts.
• Utilize CMM measurement techniques and perform uncertainty analysis.
• Differentiate between actual part deviations and artefacts from fixturing or alignment.
• Deliver clear written and verbal feedback to support FAI sign-off decisions.
• Contribute high-quality metrology input to AI system development.

Job description

Role Title: Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

Our team is engaging Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineers to contribute to a customer's project focused on advanced inspection and measurement solutions. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity involves evaluating and producing first-article inspection deliverables using 3D scanning and advanced metrology software, ensuring accuracy in scan-to-CAD comparisons, datum setups, and profile and position callouts. Your insight will help determine whether deviations arise from true part discrepancies or fixturing and alignment artefacts, supporting critical sign-off decisions on FAI reports.

Scope of Work

• Review and validate first-article inspection (FAI) reports derived from 3D scan data.
• Conduct detailed scan-to-CAD comparisons, analyzing measurement deviations and their sources.
• Set up, interpret, and document datum structures, profiles, and position callouts as per industry standards.
• Utilize CMM measurement techniques and perform uncertainty analysis for dimensional integrity.
• Differentiate between actual part deviations and artefacts caused by fixturing or alignment issues.
• Deliver clear, comprehensive written and verbal feedback to support decision-making on FAI sign-off.
• Contribute nuanced, high-quality metrology input to inform and enhance AI system development.

Preferred Qualifications

• Expertise in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and FAI processes within manufacturing or quality environments.
• Proficiency with 3D scanning devices and inspection software (e.g., PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or similar).
• Strong background in CMM measurement techniques and uncertainty analysis.
• Proven ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.
• Experience producing or approving FAI reports backed by practical metrology knowledge.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a keen attention to explanatory detail.
• Analytical mindset for discerning true quality issues versus artefacts introduced by measurement setup.
