Metrology Engineer

Essential Responsibilities:

1. Scanning:  Scanning entails taking the physical part and making a digital version of it. By using our spray booth, they’ll be responsible for applying paint and targets (dots) and then scanning the part to create a complete mesh.
2. Inspection:  Inspection is when dimensional information is extracted from the mesh and compared back to a CAD model.  This information is provided to engineers to assist in tool revisions.
3. Automation & Scripting:  Python is the language that ATOS is based on. We utilize scripting to automate routines and simplify workflows. Being familiar or fluent with this language would be beneficial but not required.

Education & Experience:

1. Bachelor’s Degree (Metrology Preferred)
2. Computer knowledge (Software packages)

Non-Essential Responsibilities:

1. Charting and tracking layouts in excel
2. 5S of general office environment
3. Use of pin gauges and calipers to obtain measurements

 Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

1. Ability to understand and use the ATOS Scanner Hardware & Software
2. Previous use, knowledge, and experience with CAD software
3. Demonstrate effective organization and time management skills
4. Python Programming Language
5. Advanced 3D Geometry Comprehension
   1. Having the ability to think in 3 dimensions effortlessly. All of the work we do is done 3 dimensionally. Look at a part and quickly be able to identify a specific feature in the 3d space
6. Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (ISO ASME)
   1. These are standards used for inspecting & measuring parts. These principles are common in many different industries and use a series of many print symbols to delineate different checks
7. Understanding of Statistical Process Control
   1. A statistical method to monitor and control a process. Typically called SPC points. Understanding their importance and value
8. True Position & Deviation
   1. True position is finding the actual position of an element and comparing it back to its nominal location. Deviation is the quantified difference between the nominal and actual position.
9. Line & Surface Profile Calculation
   1. Profiles are used to determine whether or not a surface or specific line of a surface has been made following the intended geometry.
10. Lease Material Condition | Max Material Condition  (LMC | MMC)
    1. These are used to determine whether a specific part in an assembly will fit in another specific part. It can also be used to determine any “extra” room that two interacting features may have.
