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.
