Metrology Engineer Salary Bi-Weekly Full Time Salaried Grand Rapids, MI, US 3 days ago Requisition ID: 1091 Location: Grand Rapids Classification: Exempt Direct Reports: None Position Summary The Metrology Engineer will be responsible for measuring and inspecting parts, fixtures, and anything assisting ADAC in dimensional layouts. They will also maintain the use of the spray booth to paint parts and use the 3D scanner to obtain and inspect scan data as needed. Their duties include data collection, inspection, and automation. They will take physical parts, scan them (manually or through automation), and thoroughly inspect using common GD&T methods, relaying information to engineers, answering questions, and providing input on improvements. They also program an automated scan cell (robot) to measure parts and analyze results. The work is reviewed by the Lead Metrology Engineer for verification before release. Key Responsibilities Collaborates : Builds partnerships and works collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives. For example, finds many ways to add value to the team; probes to draw out richer input from others; is a valued resource who goes out of the way to help others. Communicates Effectively : Develops and delivers multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences. For example, pays attention to others’ insights, advice or instruction, grasping the main elements. Promptly shares relevant information with the right amount of detail. Nimble Learning : Learns through experimentation when tackling new problems, using both successes and failures as learning fodder. For example, experiments to find the best possible solution and gains insight from test cases. Makes use of new concepts and principles when addressing problems. Learns from mistakes to avoid repeating them. Situational Adaptability : Adapts approach and demeanor in real time to match the shifting demands of different situations. For example, sees even subtle cues to adapt; deploys a wide range of behaviors to stay effective. Exemplifies flexibility and resourcefulness; responds deftly to a variety of challenges and situations. Scanning Scanning entails taking the physical part and creating a digital version of it. By using our spray booth, the engineer applies paint and targets (dots) and then scans the part to create a complete mesh. Inspection Inspection occurs when dimensional information is extracted from the mesh and compared back to a CAD model. This information is provided to engineering to assist in tool revisions. Automation & Scripting Python is the language that ATOS is based on. Scripting is used to automate routines and simplify workflows. Familiarity or fluency with Python is desired. Education & Experience Bachelor’s Degree or relevant field experience Computer knowledge (Python / CAD) Knowledge of plastic materials and processing preferred CMM Experience is a plus Charting and tracking layouts in Excel 6S of general office environment Use of pin gauges and calipers to obtain measurements Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Ability to understand and use the ATOS Scanner Hardware & Software Previous use, knowledge and experience with CAD software Demonstrate effective organization and time management skills Python Programming Language Advanced 3D Geometry Comprehension Having the ability to think in 3 dimensions effortlessly. All of the work we do is done 3 dimensionally. Look at a part and quickly be able to identify a specific feature in the 3d space. Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (ISO + ASME) These are standards used for inspecting & measuring parts. These principles are common in many different industries and use a series of many print symbols to delineate different checks. Understanding of Statistical Process Control A statistical method to monitor and control a process. Typically called SPC points. Understanding their importance and value. True Position & Deviation True position is finding the actual position of an element and comparing it back to its nominal location. Deviation is the quantified difference between the nominal and actual position. Line & Surface Profile Calculation Profiles are used to determine whether or not a surface or specific line of a surface has been made following the intended geometry. Least Material Condition | Max Material Condition (LMC | MMC) These are used to determine whether a specific part in an assembly will fit in another specific part. It can also be used to determine any "extra" room that two interacting features may have. Supervision Received General Direction: Work from company policies and general objectives. Occasionally refer to superior for clarification and interpretation of company policy or customer requirements. #J-18808-Ljbffr
