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
  • Strong understanding of MSA, GR&R, and measurement fundamentals
  • Experience with Minitab Measurement Systems Analysis (or equivalent statistical software)
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in medical device or tight-tolerance manufacturing
  • Experience working directly from CAD models (not just prints)
  • Exposure to multiple platforms (CMM, vision, laser)
  • Experience mentoring or leading other technicians
  • ASQ (CQT/CQE) or GD&T certification

What Success Looks Like

  • New products are inspection-ready without delays
  • GR&R and measurement capability are consistently strong
  • Inspection methods are standardized and repeatable
  • Measurement issues are quickly identified and resolved
  • Cycle times improve without sacrificing accuracy
Compensation

The compensation for this role is competitive and will be based on experience and qualifications. The anticipated range is $27.00- $37.00

Our company policy is that we are unable to provide visa sponsorship. Candidates must already be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for sponsorship now or in the future.

Skills Required

  • Associate's degree or equivalent hands-on experience
  • 2-5+ years of experience in metrology, CMM programming, or precision measurement
  • Strong practical GD&T expertise, including ASME Y14.5
  • Ability to independently program and troubleshoot CMMs
  • Experience supporting both new product introduction and production environments
  • Strong understanding of MSA, GR&R, and measurement fundamentals
  • Experience with Minitab Measurement Systems Analysis or equivalent statistical software
  • Experience in medical device or tight-tolerance manufacturing
  • Experience working directly from CAD models
  • Exposure to CMM, vision, and laser measurement platforms
  • Experience mentoring or leading other technicians
  • ASQ CQT/CQE or GD&T certification
