Rebuild and improve the existing calibration process, including roles, responsibilities, documentation, traceability, and equipment controls. Lead, develop, and provide technical direction to a team of metrologists. Provide oversight for CMM programming, new CMM program proofouts, and dimensional inspection activities. Conduct correlation studies to ensure consistent results between internal CMMs and supplier measurement systems. Investigate and resolve measurement discrepancies involving suppliers, production, inspection, and MRB. Establish requirements for Measurement Systems Analysis, including Gauge R&R studies and measurement correlation studies. Develop process-control sheets, procedures, work instructions, measurement methods, and acceptance criteria. Create training programs for inspectors, operators, engineers, and quality personnel on gauge usage and measurement best practices. Establish competency and qualification standards for employees performing measurement and inspection activities. Manage calibration records, gauge records, equipment identification, calibration status, and measurement traceability. Coordinate internal and external calibration activities and monitor service-provider performance. Evaluate opportunities to bring appropriate calibration capabilities in-house. Establish and track metrology and calibration KPIs. Ensure compliance with applicable quality and calibration standards. Partner collaboratively with employees working in a union manufacturing environment. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline. 5-10 years of experience in metrology, calibration, dimensional inspection, or measurement systems.

Strong communication, problem-solving, organization, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Preferred Qualifications ASQ or equivalent quality or metrology certification. Experience with IFS. Experience in aerospace, defense, industrial manufacturing, or another highly regulated manufacturing environment. Previous experience collaborating within a union manufacturing environment. What Makes This Opportunity Unique This is an opportunity to create a lasting impact at a facility undergoing meaningful transformation. The person in this role will have the ownership and visibility to build a metrology program, improve the reliability of measurement systems, develop the existing team, and directly influence manufacturing quality.
