Metrology Quality Engineer 3

Job Overview & Responsibilities

• Reviews engineering drawings, specifications, and technical data to determine accuracy requirements. Interprets tolerances and GD&T to select proper calibration methods, equipment, and measurement setups.
• Maintains complete and compliant calibration records, including results, certifications, measurement uncertainty considerations, and traceability data within the calibration management system.
• Performs incoming inspection and verification of new or outsourced calibrated equipment, ensuring certificates meet traceability and accuracy requirements.
• Provides technical support for equipment discrepancies, measurement issues, and out-of-tolerance investigations. Collaborates with Quality and Engineering to support root‑cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
• Reviews existing procedures, drafts new procedures, and develops improvements to enhance consistency, clarity, and accuracy across all calibration and documentation processes.
• Provides user guidance on proper care, use, and handling of calibrated equipment to maintain accuracy and reduce risk of damage.
• Performs calibration, verification, and functional checks of measurement and test equipment (M&TE), including dimensional, mechanical, and electrical instruments. Ensures all work aligns with internal calibration standards and applicable external requirements.
• Supports internal audits and assessments by supplying calibration data and explaining metrology processes as needed.
