Why you should join:

The Metrology Engineer plans, performs, evaluates, and documents dimensional and technical measurements to verify product conformity with drawings, customer specifications, internal quality requirements, and applicable GPS/GD&T standards. The role provides metrology expertise for product and process qualification, PPAP, production release, requalification, problem-solving, and continuous improvement activities.

Your main tasks:

Measurement and Inspection

• Plan and perform dimensional, geometrical, functional, surface, form, and visual inspections for components and assemblies.
• Operate and program 3D coordinate measuring machines, measurement microscopes, optical systems, and digital microscopes.
• Define measurement strategies, inspection sequences, measurement points, fixtures, tools, and suitable inspection equipment.
• Collect samples from ongoing production and prepare samples through component disassembly, sectioning, or other required methods.

Metrology Programming and Technical Planning

• Create, optimize, validate, and maintain measurement programs using systems such as PC-DMIS, PolyWorks, Calypso, and VG.
• Review drawings, inspection plans, specifications, and customer requirements before measurement execution.
• Apply GPS/GD&T principles and ensure that selected measurement methods are appropriate for the specified tolerances.
• Define measurement equipment requirements and support technical evaluation and procurement of new equipment.

Data Evaluation and Reporting

• Analyze measurement results, identify deviations, and assess conformity against acceptance criteria.
• Prepare clear inspection and release reports according to applicable regional, customer, and internal requirements.
• Upload and maintain measurement documentation in designated quality systems, including DSD where applicable.
• Maintain complete traceability of samples, programs, raw results, reports, approvals, and revisions.

Quality and Cross-Functional Support

• Provide measurement support for APQP, PPAP, first article inspection, product validation, process qualification, requalification, and engineering changes.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions by providing reliable dimensional evidence and technical interpretation.
• Collaborate with Quality, Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, customers, suppliers, and other laboratories.
• Create and continuously update technical work instructions, inspection methods, laboratory standards, and measurement documentation.

Laboratory and Equipment Management

• Support calibration, verification, preventive maintenance, and capability monitoring of measurement equipment.
• Ensure measurement equipment is available, suitable, correctly identified, and used within its approved calibration status.
• Promote safe working practices, laboratory discipline, data integrity, 5S, and continuous improvement.

What your background should look like

• Technical degree or advanced technical qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Metrology, Quality, or a comparable discipline.
• Relevant experience in metrology, dimensional inspection, quality laboratory, or precision manufacturing.
• Automotive industry experience is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of dimensional inspection, engineering drawings, GPS/GD&T, measurement strategy, and measurement system capability.
• Practical knowledge of one or more metrology platforms such as PC-DMIS, PolyWorks, Calypso, or VG.
• Experience with Keyence systems is an advantage.
• Understanding of APQP, PPAP, first article inspection, product/process qualification, nonconformity management, and structured problem-solving.
• Professional working English and confident use of standard Microsoft Office applications.
• Additional local/customer language skills are an advantage.
