Your Role

Are you ready to make an impact and work with a company that values your expertise, ideas, and career growth? As our next Quality Engineer - Metrology, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping our organization’s success. This isn’t just a job – it’s a career move where you’ll thrive, learn, and enjoy coming to work.

Summary: The Quality Engineering - Metrology role will have direct responsibilities to support CPC’s new product development. This position will leverage advanced industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning to perform non-destructive testing (NDT), internal and external dimensional metrology, and failure analysis on new components and finished assemblies.

Responsibilities:

CT Scan Operation & Optimization

• System Operation : Safely and efficiently operate high-resolution industrial CT scanning systems (e.g., micro-CT, multi-source systems).
• Scan Optimization : Determine optimal scan parameters (voltage, current, exposure, filters, voxel size) based on material density, geometry, and required resolution to minimize artifacts and maximize data quality.
• Fixture Design : Design and fabricate custom, low-density fixtures to position complex prototype parts securely without interfering with X-ray penetration.

Metrology & Data Analysis

• Dimensional Inspection : Perform full 3D inspections and compare CT volume data against nominal CAD models using advanced analysis software (e.g., Volume Graphics VGStudio MAX, GOM Inspect).
• GD&T Analysis : Evaluate complex geometric features, including wall thickness, porosity, fiber orientation, and part-to-CAD variances using strict GD&T principles.
• Reporting : Create comprehensive, visually intuitive metrology and inspection reports for design and quality engineering teams to accelerate product iterations.

New Product Development Support

• Failure Analysis : Perform non-destructive root-cause analysis on failed prototypes or test samples to detect internal voids, cracks, assembly defects, or material delamination.
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) : Partner with R&D engineers early in the design cycle to advise on features that optimize X-ray inspectability.

Maintenance, Quality, & Safety

• Radiation Safety Officer : Ensure strict compliance to all local, state, and federal radiation safety regulations. Manage radiation protection plans (ALARA), monitor dosimetry, provide safety training and maintain radiation safety logs.
• Equipment Care : Perform routine calibration, daily system checks, and preventative maintenance on X-ray tubes, detectors, and motion systems. Coordinate with equipment vendors for advanced servicing.
• Comply with all Quality policies while continuously identifying opportunities for improvement. 
• Support the process of ISO, ASI, and other certifications deemed necessary by the business.
• Adhere to all company safety regulations.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualification Requirements: 

• Technical Degree with a minimum of 3 years’ Quality industry experience or 5 plus years of Metrology experience in lieu of a degree.
• 1+ years of hands-on experience operating industrial X-ray or CT scanning equipment specifically for industrial inspection or metrology.
• Strong understanding of ASME Y14.5 geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standards.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced NPD environment where priorities shift rapidly based on prototyping timelines.
• Exposure to ISO: 9001 2015 and 13485 2016
• Experience working with data and statistical analysis software
• Strong communication skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• ASNT Certification : ASNT Level II or III certification in Radiographic Testing (RT) or Computed Tomography (CT).
• CAD Skills : Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, NX) for fixture design and model extraction.
• Previous Experience as a Radiation Safety Officer.

Travel:

• Less than 10% locally
