Senior Metrology Specialist

The Senior Metrology Technician supports engineering activities through dimensional inspection of fabricated components, development and execution of inspection programs, Inspection Method Validation or Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and inspection equipment selection. This role works from engineering drawings, specifications, and verbal or written instructions to perform precise measurements and inspections, collect dimensional data, and support product development and manufacturing activities.

The Senior Metrology Technician assists in determining appropriate inspection methods and measurement strategies for incoming inspection in a production environment. This includes:

• Determination of measurement equipment suitability based on the part and feature to be inspected. Fabricated parts include custom machined, cast, injection molded, sheet metal, assemblies, and off-the-shelf components.


• Inspection method development – including Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), portable CMM arms, laser scanning systems, Keyence vision systems, optical comparators, and conventional handheld measurement tools and gauges.


• Measurement system validation to show capability


• Creating written instructions of inspection methods used by incoming inspection

This individual works on assignments of moderate complexity, exercising sound judgment in resolving technical issues and making recommendations. The successful candidate possesses a strong understanding of metrology principles and independently performs a broad range of inspection and measurement activities while collaborating closely with engineers and technicians across the organization.
