Full description
Overview
Resonetics is seeking a hands-on Senior Metrology Technician to take ownership of measurement systems across both New Product Introduction (NPI) and legacy production.
This is a working lead role (70–80% hands-on) — you will be programming, running, troubleshooting, and improving measurement systems while also setting direction and standardizing how measurement is done.
This role is best suited for a highly skilled CMM programmer / metrology expert who wants real ownership, not just execution.
What You’ll Own
- Day-to-day performance of all measurement systems (CMM, vision, laser, custom gaging)
- Inspection strategy for new products (FAI, validation builds, early development support)
- Measurement performance in production (speed, accuracy, repeatability)
- Standardization of measurement methods across parts and programs
Why Join Resonetics?
- Work on high-precision, tight-tolerance components
- Be a go-to technical expert with real ownership
- Direct impact on both new product launches and production performance
- Opportunity to shape how measurement is done, not just follow it
Responsibilities
- Program, run, and optimize CMM and vision systems (PC-DMIS, Calypso, or similar)
- Build inspection strategies directly from prints and CAD models
- Lead and execute MSA, GR&R, and capability studies
- Troubleshoot measurement issues and drive root cause resolution
- Maintain calibration systems and ensure traceability
- Support validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) for new equipment and processes
- Partner with engineering on GD&T interpretation and inspection approach
- Reduce inspection cycle time without compromising accuracy
- Train and mentor technicians; write work instructions and establish standard work
- Provide design input on measurement fixture design and development.
- Support audits (ISO 13485, FDA)
Required Qualifications
- Associate’s degree or equivalent hands-on experience
- 2-5+ years in metrology, CMM programming, or precision measurement
- Strong, practical GD&T expertise (ASME Y14.5)
- Proven ability to program and troubleshoot CMMs independently
- Experience supporting both NPI and production environments
