About the Job

Requirements

  • Engineering degree, or equivalent technical training and hands-on metrology experience.
  • Strong working knowledge of dimensional metrology principles, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) under ASME Y14.5, and inspection methods, including the ability to explain GD&T concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Hands-on coordinate measuring machine (CMM) programming experience; PC-DMIS and/or PolyWorks preferred, with Calypso or equivalent acceptable.
  • Experience with one or more additional measurement technologies, such as portable CMM/articulating arm (FARO), 3D scanning, laser tracker, or optical systems (OGP, Keyence).
  • Experience with fixturing for metrology, including setting and adjusting fixtures to achieve proper alignment.
  • Familiarity with First Article Inspection (FAI) and measurement system analysis (MSA/Gage R&R).
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the buildout of the Arsenal-1 metrology lab, including space layout, equipment specification and procurement, vendor coordination, and partnering with Facilities on rigging, transport, and installation.
  • Coordinate with the calibration team to bring new equipment into service and keep it compliant.
  • Design, validate, and implement measurement methods, inspection programs, and gages for parts, assemblies, and processes.
  • Develop and maintain CMM programs for ALTIUS components and subassemblies.
  • Interpret and apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5), and develop inspection plans that reflect critical characteristics and design intent.
  • Evaluate inspection and measurement requirements driven by revision and design changes.
  • Perform First Article Inspections (FAI) and measurement system analysis (MSA/Gage R&R) to confirm capability and measurement confidence.
  • Integrate metrology early with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to reduce risk and verify processes before they scale.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to Metrology Technicians and Specialists on programming, methods, fixturing, and difficult measurements, including directing CT inspection performed by NDT-certified technicians.
  • Troubleshoot systemic measurement issues, determine why inspections fail or give inconsistent results, and design solutions to prevent recurrence.
  • Support root cause investigations (RCCA), material review board (MRB) activities, and incident management on metrology-related quality issues.
  • Design and specify inspection gages, including Go/No-Go gages and automated inspection systems using vision or scans.
  • Analyze measurement data using statistical methods and data-visualization tools, and report findings clearly to engineering and program stakeholders, including translating GD&T and measurement results for non-technical audiences.
  • Help ensure compliance with industry standards such as AS9100 and ISO/IEC 17025, and contribute to calibration and gage management practices.
  • Partner with the headquarters metrology team to align equipment, software, and inspection processes across sites.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience standing up or relocating a metrology lab, including equipment selection, installation, and qualification.
  • Experience integrating metrology early in product development and supporting design reviews.
  • Experience designing and building holding fixtures for CMMs in NX or SolidWorks.
  • Experience with automated inspection using vision or scanning, digital-twin methods, or data-visualization methods.
  • Experience with large-volume metrology, including laser tracker, laser radar, or large-format 3D scanning.
  • Experience with PolyWorks|DataLoop or similar metrology data management platforms.
  • Familiarity with calibration system requirements such as ISO/IEC 17025.
  • Familiarity with Teamcenter, NX, Jira, and manufacturing execution systems.
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or other low-volume, high-complexity manufacturing environments.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
