Role Title: Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
our partner is engaging Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineers to contribute to a customer's project focused on advanced inspection and measurement solutions. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity involves evaluating and producing first-article inspection deliverables using 3D scanning and advanced metrology software, ensuring accuracy in scan-to-CAD comparisons, datum setups, and profile and position callouts. Your insight will help determine whether deviations arise from true part discrepancies or fixturing and alignment artefacts, supporting critical sign-off decisions on FAI reports.
Scope of Work
- Review and validate first-article inspection (FAI) reports derived from 3D scan data.
- Conduct detailed scan-to-CAD comparisons, analyzing measurement deviations and their sources.
- Set up, interpret, and document datum structures, profiles, and position callouts as per industry standards.
- Utilize CMM measurement techniques and perform uncertainty analysis for dimensional integrity.
- Differentiate between actual part deviations and artefacts caused by fixturing or alignment issues.
- Deliver clear, comprehensive written and verbal feedback to support decision-making on FAI sign-off.
- Contribute nuanced, high-quality metrology input to inform and enhance AI system development.
Preferred Qualifications
- Expertise in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) and FAI processes within manufacturing or quality environments.
- Proficiency with 3D scanning devices and inspection software (e.g., PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or similar).
- Strong background in CMM measurement techniques and uncertainty analysis.
- Proven ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.
- Experience producing or approving FAI reports backed by practical metrology knowledge.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a keen attention to explanatory detail.
- Analytical mindset for discerning true quality issues versus artefacts introduced by measurement setup.
This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.
