We are looking for a highly skilled Metrology Specialist to program, optimize, and lead complex inspections across a wide variety of products that we design and develop. In this role you will write, debug, and optimize inspection programs across contact and non-contact systems, troubleshoot the most difficult measurement problems, and help shape how the lab does its work. As the Metrology lab grows, you will work across a range of equipment — Portable CMM, CNC/fixed CMM, CT scanner, laser tracker, and optical systems from manufacturers such as Hexagon, Zeiss, Keyence, and LK Metrology — supporting incoming quality inspections, internally manufactured components, quality investigations, and root cause analysis, while mentoring other members of the team.

• Define best-practice inspection and reporting strategies with cross-functional teams.
• Maintain and improve lab equipment and processes (calibration, cleanliness, best practices), reducing downtime and ensuring data reliability.
• Train and mentor other metrology team members and serve as the go-to resource for difficult measurement problems.
• Help ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO 17025).

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Excellent understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
• Experience designing and building holding fixtures for CMMs.
• Proficiency with precision measuring equipment (micrometers, height gauges, and other hand tools).
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Associate’s degree or technical training.
• Experience with advanced or specialized inspection methods, including NDT.
