The Metrology Technician is primarily responsible for performing precise dimensional inspections of parts and components to ensure they meet design specifications and quality standards. This role involves using a variety of precision measuring instruments to verify part accuracy, conducting inspections during key production stages, and supporting prototype development through detailed measurement and analysis.
Duties And Responsibilities
Measure and inspect parts and components using precision instruments such as calipers, micrometers, CMMs tools to ensure adherence to design specifications.
Ensure the accuracy of measurements by calibrating tools and verifying the precision of instruments before and during inspections.
Conduct inspections for Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) and Initial Run (IR) components, verifying that all parts meet customer and internal quality standards.
Measure and inspect prototype parts to support engineering development and confirm adherence to specifications.
Read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications to determine measurement and inspection requirements.
Record measurement data, documenting any non-conformance and provide feedback to production and engineering teams for corrective action.
Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by identifying opportunities to enhance measurement processes, techniques, and accuracy.
Work with Quality, Production, and Engineering teams to resolve discrepancies
Conduct Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (R&R) studies to validate measurement processes.
Identify, diagnose and resolve issues related to metrology equipment and instrumentation
Education and/or Experience:
HS Diploma or equivalent; Associate degree in Quality or related field preferred.
2 years related calibration, instrumentation, or metrology experience.
Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
Proficiency in using various precision measuring instruments.
Basic understanding of calibration principles, equipment maintenance, Gage R&R studies, PPAP/IR inspection process, and protype part inspections.
