Senior Metrology Engineer – Dimensional Inspection

About the role

Join Shield AI’s high‑impact quality engineering team to support the development and production of next‑generation autonomous systems. The role focuses on dimensional analysis, metrology strategy, and inspection planning to ensure hardware meets critical design and manufacturing requirements.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and execute dimensional inspection strategies for complex mechanical assemblies and precision components.
• Perform dimensional analysis and measurement studies to validate design intent, manufacturing capability, and assembly fit.
• Define metrology processes, tooling, and inspection methods using CMMs, laser trackers, scanners, and other precision measurement systems.
• Partner with design and manufacturing teams to improve tolerance schemes, GD&T application, and inspection efficiency.
• Support root‑cause investigations related to dimensional non‑conformance, assembly variation, and manufacturing defects.
• Analyze measurement and process capability data to improve repeatability, product quality, and production readiness.

Required profile

• 5+ years of experience in metrology, dimensional engineering, manufacturing quality, or precision inspection environments.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, datum structures, and dimensional validation methods.
• Experience programming or operating metrology equipment such as CMMs, laser trackers, structured light scanners, or portable measurement systems.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and manufacturing documentation for complex assemblies.
• Experience developing inspection plans, measurement strategies, and process capability studies in production environments.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to communicate technical findings across cross‑functional teams.

Required skills

• NX, PolyWorks, PC‑DMIS, SpatialAnalyzer (or similar metrology software).
• Familiarity with AS9100 and ISO 9001 regulated manufacturing environments.
• Experience with first‑article inspections (FAI) and production qualification.
