Job Description: Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer

Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote

About the Role

We are seeking experienced Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineers to contribute their expertise to a project focused on advanced inspection and measurement solutions.

In this role, you will help train and evaluate next-generation AI systems by providing high-quality, real-world metrology expertise. You will review and produce first-article inspection (FAI) deliverables using 3D scanning and advanced metrology software. Your work will involve validating scan-to-CAD comparisons, datum setups, and profile and position callouts while ensuring dimensional accuracy.

You will also assess whether measurement deviations result from actual part discrepancies or from fixturing and alignment artefacts, providing valuable technical insights to support FAI report reviews and sign-off decisions. Prior AI experience is not required; relevant industry expertise is what matters.

Key Responsibilities

1. Review and validate first-article inspection (FAI) reports generated from 3D scan data.

2. Perform detailed scan-to-CAD comparisons and analyze dimensional deviations and their potential causes.

3. Establish, interpret, and document datum structures, profile tolerances, and position callouts in accordance with applicable industry standards.

4. Apply Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) techniques and conduct measurement uncertainty analysis.

5. Distinguish actual part deviations from artefacts caused by fixturing, alignment, or measurement setup issues.

6. Provide clear, detailed written and verbal feedback to support FAI review and sign-off decisions.

7. Contribute accurate and specialized metrology insights to support AI system development and evaluation.

Required and Preferred Qualifications

• Strong expertise in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and first-article inspection processes within manufacturing or quality environments.

• Proficiency with 3D scanning equipment and inspection software such as PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or equivalent tools.

• Solid experience with CMM measurement techniques and measurement uncertainty analysis.

• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.

• Practical experience preparing, reviewing, or approving FAI reports.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to technical detail.

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to distinguish genuine quality issues from measurement setup or alignment artefacts.
