ABOUT THE TEAM
We are looking for a Metrology Engineer to stand up and own the measurement systems that ensure the quality of the products we design and build at Atlanta, GA. This is a greenfield role: Atlanta does not have a metrology lab today, and you will help design the space, specify and procure the equipment, coordinate the installation, and bring it online. From there you'll design, validate, and implement measurement methods, gages, and inspection strategies, and integrate metrology early with design, manufacturing, and quality.
Your initial focus will be ALTIUS, where we are bringing component and subassembly inspection in-house that has traditionally been sent to third parties. You'll work hands-on across contact and non-contact systems, including CMMs, portable arms, 3D scanners, laser trackers, CT, and optical systems from manufacturers such as Hexagon, Zeiss, OGP, and Keyence, to solve measurement problems, and support root cause investigations.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Lead the buildout of the Arsenal-1 metrology lab: space layout, equipment specification and procurement, vendor coordination, and partnering with Facilities on rigging, transport, and installation.
- Coordinate with the calibration team to bring new equipment into service and keep it compliant.
- Design, validate, and implement measurement methods, inspection programs, and gages for parts, assemblies, and processes.
- Develop and maintain CMM programs (PC-DMIS, PolyWorks, or equivalent) for ALTIUS components and subassemblies.
- Interpret and apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5); develop inspection plans that reflect critical characteristics and design intent.
- Evaluate inspection and measurement requirements driven by revision changes and design changes.
- Perform First Article Inspections (FAI) and measurement system analysis (MSA / Gage R&R) to confirm capability and measurement confidence.
- Integrate metrology early with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to reduce risk and verify processes before they scale.
- Provide technical guidance and support to Metrology Technicians and Specialists on programming, methods, fixturing, and difficult measurements, including directing CT inspection performed by NDT-certified technicians.
- Troubleshoot systemic measurement issues, determining why inspections fail or give inconsistent results, and design solutions to prevent recurrence.
- Support root cause investigations (RCCA), MRB, and incident management on metrology-related quality issues.
- Design and specify inspection gages, including Go/No-Go gages and automated inspection systems (vision, scans, etc.).
- Analyze measurement data using statistical methods and data-visualization tools, and report findings clearly to engineering and program stakeholders, including translating GD&T and measurement results for non-technical audiences.
- Help ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., AS9100, ISO/IEC 17025) and contribute to calibration and gage management practices.
- Partner with the HQ metrology team to align equipment, software, and inspection processes across sites.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Engineering degree, or equivalent technical training and hands-on metrology experience.
- Strong working knowledge of dimensional metrology principles, GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and inspection methods, including the ability to explain GD&T concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
- Hands-on CMM programming experience; PC-DMIS and/or PolyWorks preferred (Calypso or equivalent acceptable).
- Experience with one or more additional measurement technologies, such as portable CMM / articulating arm (FARO), 3D scanning, laser tracker, or optical systems (OGP, Keyence).
- Experience with fixturing for metrology, including setting and adjusting fixtures to achieve proper alignment.
- Familiarity with FAI and measurement system analysis (MSA / Gage R&R).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and accuracy.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
- Good written and verbal communication skills across engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams.
- Hands-on, self-directed, and comfortable owning logistics and coordination in a stand-up environment.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience standing up or relocating a metrology lab, including equipment selection, installation, and qualification.
- Experience integrating metrology early in product development and supporting design reviews.
- Experience designing and building holding fixtures for CMMs in NX or SolidWorks.
- Experience with automated inspection (vision/scan), digital-twin, or data-visualization methods.
- Experience with large-volume metrology (laser tracker, laser radar, large-format 3D scanning).
- Experience with PolyWorks|DataLoop or similar metrology data management platforms.
- Familiarity with calibration system requirements such as ISO/IEC 17025.
- Familiarity with Teamcenter, NX, Jira, and manufacturing execution systems.
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or other low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing environments.
