Job description

Take the Lead in an Advanced Precision Metrology Lab

MTD Micro Molding manufactures ultra-small, highly complex components for medical and healthtech applications, including minimally invasive devices, overmolded components, and bioabsorbable implants.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Quality & Metrology Technician with strong OGP programming and precision measurement experience to take a hands‑on leadership role in our metrology laboratory.

You're work with advanced inspection technologies—including OGP vision systems, microscopes, and CT scanning—to inspect some of the smallest and most complex molded components in the medical device industry.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced metrology technician or programmer who enjoys solving technical challenges, mentoring others, and wants to take greater ownership of laboratory processes and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you’ll perform and oversee visual and dimensional inspection of micro‑molded components while helping lead the day‑to‑day activities of our metrology laboratory.

You’ll work from customer drawings, specifications, work instructions, and sample parts to verify quality during startup, in‑process, and final inspection.

Key responsibilities include:

• Perform and oversee visual and dimensional inspections of complex micro‑molded components
• Program and operate OGP vision systems using 3D MeasureMind
• Use microscopes, optical measurement equipment, CT scanners, and other precision metrology equipment
• Interpret customer drawings, specifications, and GD&T
• Program and validate automated inspection routines
• Support and perform Gauge R&R studies
• Identify, document, and support the resolution of non‑conforming product
• Establish laboratory priorities and help keep inspection work moving efficiently
• Train and mentor quality technicians on inspection methods, equipment, and best practices
• Collaborate with tooling, molding, engineering, and quality teams to troubleshoot quality and measurement challenges
• Collaborate with the tooling department on metrology fixture design and development
• Support engineering studies, data collection, and customer requests
• Own and continuously improve quality laboratory procedures, processes, organization, and inspection methods
• Assist with labeling, packaging, and shipment preparation as needed

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with a strong metrology background who is comfortable working independently, solving technical problems, and taking ownership of inspection processes.

Required

• Experience programming OGP vision measurement systems using 3D MeasureMind
• Strong experience with precision measurement and dimensional inspection
• Ability to read and interpret customer drawings, specifications, and GD&T
• Experience working with microscopes and inspecting small, complex components
• Familiarity with programming and supporting Gauge R&R studies
• Ability to identify and document non‑conforming product
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with quality, engineering, tooling, and manufacturing teams
• Ability to work independently while also supporting and mentoring other technicians

Candidates should have approximately 3+ years of OGP programming experience or equivalent advanced hands‑on experience with OGP/3D MeasureMind systems.

Preferred

• Experience with Werth CT scanning
• Medical device or medical manufacturing experience
• Familiarity with ISO 13485 environments
• Prior experience training or mentoring other quality or metrology technicians
• Experience improving metrology laboratory processes and inspection methods

Why Join MTD?

This isn’t a traditional inspection role. You’ll have the opportunity to work with advanced metrology technology, solve challenging measurement problems, and play an important role in how our metrology laboratory operates and improves.

MTD offers:

• Profit sharing
• 401(k)
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Employee referral program
• Industry‑leading metrology and inspection technology
• Opportunity to take ownership of and help shape our metrology laboratory
• Direct collaboration with experienced tooling, molding, engineering, and quality professionals
• The opportunity to work on highly complex components used in medical and healthtech applications

The MTD Culture

The work we do matters, and precision is critical—but that doesn’t mean our culture has to be rigid.

We’re a collaborative, hands‑on team where expertise is respected, ideas are welcomed, and people work across departments to solve difficult manufacturing challenges.

If you’re an experienced metrology professional who knows OGP systems, takes pride in precision, and is ready for a role with greater ownership and technical responsibility, we’d like to hear from you.
