This is a fully on‑site, in factory role. Responsibilities Lead metrology support for capacity expansion projects: specify, justify, and implement metrology equipment for new lines, line duplications, and line moves. Conduct Measurement System Analyses (MSA/Gage R&R, bias, linearity, stability) for new and existing gauges; drive improvement or replacement of inadequate systems. Specify, select, and validate production‑ready measurement systems (CMMs, optical/vision systems, laser/line scanners, profilometers, inline gauges, leak/flow/pressure test systems, electrical test stands). Support day‑to‑day production: troubleshoot measurement issues, resolve non‑conformances, participate in root cause analyses, and support corrective and preventive actions. Provide design‑for‑metrology input to product and process engineering, including GD&T, tolerancing, and fixturing for manufacturability and inspection efficiency. Collaborate with suppliers to define incoming inspection requirements, qualify supplier measurement systems, and address dimensional and performance issues. Develop and maintain metrology work instructions, calibration procedures, and standard operating methods for technicians and operators. Train and mentor production, quality, and engineering teams in GD&T, measurement techniques, gauge use, and data interpretation. Monitor and analyze production measurement data (SPC, Cp/Cpk, trend analysis) to detect drifts, reduce variation, and support continuous improvement and yield enhancement. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Chemical, Materials, or related Engineering field; Physics or similar considered with strong relevant experience. 1‑2 years of metrology, dimensional engineering, or test engineering experience in a production/manufacturing environment (automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, fuel cells, or similar) Hands‑on experience with factory measurement systems (CMM, optical/vision systems, laser gauges, height gauges, air gauges, surface/profile measurement, leak/flow/pressure/electrical test equipment). Proven experience running and interpreting MSA/Gage R&R and using outcomes to improve gauges and processes. Proficiency with statistical tools and methods for production data (SPC, capability analysis, DOE, regression) using tools such as Minitab, JMP, or similar. Demonstrated success implementing or upgrading metrology systems during line startups, ramp‑ups, or capacity expansions. Strong track record of cross‑functional work with production, automation, maintenance, quality, and design teams. Excellent problem‑solving, communication, and technical documentation skills. Preferred Qualifications Familiarity with automated inspection systems, machine vision, inline gauging, and integration with PLCs/MES/QMS. Strong digital mindset with demonstrated ability to effectively use AI tools (e.g., coding assistants, data analysis, document automation) in an engineering environment. Experience introducing metrology into greenfield or immature process areas and taking them to stable, statistically controlled operation. Experience with PFMEA, control plans, and structured problem‑solving (8D, A3, DMAIC).
