Overview

micro1 seeks Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineers to support a customer's advanced inspection and measurement project. Your domain knowledge will help train next-generation AI systems by evaluating and producing first-article inspection deliverables. You'll work with 3D scanning, CMM measurement, and metrology software to ensure accuracy in scan-to-CAD comparisons, datum setups, and profile and position callouts. No prior AI experience is needed; your metrology expertise is what matters.

What You'll Do7

Review and validate first-article inspection (FAI) reports generated from 3D scan data.
Perform detailed scan-to-CAD comparisons and analyze measurement deviations to identify their sources.
Set up, interpret, and document datum structures, profiles, and position callouts according to industry standards.
Apply CMM measurement techniques and conduct uncertainty analysis to ensure dimensional integrity.
Distinguish between actual part deviations and artifacts caused by fixturing or alignment issues.
Provide clear written and verbal feedback to support FAI sign-off decisions.
Contribute high-quality metrology input to inform and enhance AI system development.

Requirements7

Expertise in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and FAI processes in manufacturing or quality settings.
Proficiency with 3D scanning devices and inspection software such as PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or similar.
Strong background in CMM measurement techniques and uncertainty analysis.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.
Experience producing or approving FAI reports with practical metrology knowledge.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with keen attention to explanatory detail.
Analytical mindset to discern true quality issues from measurement setup artifacts.

Who Should Apply

This role suits a metrology professional with hands-on experience in GD&T, 3D scanning, and CMM measurement who can interpret engineering drawings and CAD models. You should be able to distinguish real part deviations from fixturing artifacts and communicate findings clearly. No AI background is required.
