Field Metrology Alignment Engineer

Triosim Corporation; Appleton (WI); On-site; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Triosim Corporation is seeking a Metrology Alignment Engineer to dial in high-precision equipment across manufacturing and research teams. You will travel to on-site locations, collaborating with design, mechanical, and systems engineering to meet exacting alignment tolerances for laser trackers, CMMs, and interferometers.

Responsibilities include developing metrology plans, analyzing measurement data for alignment errors and thermal effects, documenting procedures, and training junior staff.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or related field — OR an Associate's degree in Metrology or Mechanical Engineering plus 2+ years of hands-on precision alignment experience.
• 2+ years of experience in precision alignment or metrology within a high-tech environment.
• Hands-on proficiency with advanced metrology tools (FARO, API, Leica laser tracker, Renishaw systems).
• Solid grasp of GD&T, error budgeting, and tolerance analysis.
• Sharp problem-solving instincts and an eye for detail that doesn't quit.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Dependable, flexible, and comfortable with a travel-heavy schedule.
• Familiarity with 3D software such as Spatial Analyzer, Build-It, and PC-DMIS.
• CAD experience.
• Able to read mechanical blueprints and apply them in both field and office settings.
• Comfortable in Microsoft Office.

Responsibilities

• Perform alignment and calibration of high-precision equipment using laser trackers, CMMs, autocollimators, interferometers, and other metrology tools.
• Develop and execute metrology plans supporting installation, maintenance, and upgrades of tools and systems.
• Analyze measurement data to pinpoint alignment errors, mechanical shifts, or thermal expansion effects — and apply the corrective fix.
• Partner with design, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to bake alignment requirements into projects from day one.
• Document metrology procedures, alignment reports, and measurement uncertainty analyses.
• Provide technical support during tool installation, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Maintain and improve metrology system accuracy through regular calibration and verification routines.
• Train junior staff and technicians on proper metrology and alignment procedures.
• Keep every task compliant with safety and quality standards.
