Mach Industries is seeking a Metrology Engineer to execute and improve dimensional inspection methods that provide reliable evidence for engineering, manufacturing, supplier, and quality decisions. You will operate coordinate measuring machines and 3D inspection systems, create inspection programs and reports, and define which measurement method is appropriate for each feature and tolerance. This role spans Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supplier Quality, Quality Systems, and Operations. The work is hands-on and requires regular engagement with CMMs, portable measurement systems, point clouds, inspection fixtures, drawings, and hardware in Huntington Beach. You will build up efforts to design a framework to bring in metrology and quality tools early in the design phase and with suppliers as we scale.
