• Ability and willingness to work on site in a manufacturing production environment.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, drawing interpretation, and dimensional inspection principles.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot measurement processes, communicate technical findings clearly, and support production needs.

Desired Characteristics

• Advanced knowledge of GD&T, dimensional inspection principles, and drawing/model interpretation, preferably aligned with ASME Y14.5 standards.
• Demonstrated experience developing, validating, and supporting digital inspection programs for 3D scanning, CT inspection, robotic scanning, automated inspection cells, or other advanced metrology technologies.
• Proficiency with point cloud processing, mesh generation, scan alignment, deviation analysis, volumetric inspection analysis, and dimensional report generation using digital metrology and 3D inspection analysis software.
• Experience working with 3D solid models, model-based definition, model-based inspection data, and CAD platforms such as NX or similar tools.
• Experience with Zeiss Inspect, GOM/ATOS, Airfoil inspection applications, Volume Graphics, Creaform, VXelements, Control X, Geomagic, PC-DMIS, or comparable metrology programming and inspection analysis platforms.
• Experience supporting automation, robotic integration, fixture validation, scripting, or workflow optimization, including use of VBA, Python, or similar tools where applicable.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including applied shop math, geometry, and trigonometry used in dimensional inspection and metrology applications.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while balancing production support, technical problem solving, documentation, training, and continuous improvement work.
• Experience supporting dimensional inspection or metrology for heavy-duty gas turbine, aerospace, energy, or other complex precision components; willingness to provide occasional off-shift or urgent production support as business needs require.
