About The Position

Metrology and Test Equipment Services (MATES) provides a full spectrum of test asset and metrology services and support for internal customers and products through all phases of the product lifecycle. MATES is part of Boeing Test & Evaluation. Services include: test asset selection and use, acquisition, allocation, resource and lifecycle management, calibration/certification for over 45,000 dimensional/optics, electrical/electronic and mechanical/physical measurement and test assets, sourcing management, measurement solutions, repair & maintenance and specialized test services. MATES is comprised of engineers, technicians and administrative personnel who support Boeing programs, business units and external/government customers by providing best value test asset management and metrology services through all phases of the product lifecycle. We are responsible and accountable to meet or exceed the safety, quality, cost, and delivery performance expectations established in customer negotiated service agreements. Metrology is the science of measurement. It establishes an unbroken chain of traceability for the measurement & test equipment (M&TE) on the factory floor or in the lab, allowing it to be referenced to higher levels of measurements back to the original definition of the international system of units (SI Units). Boeing relies on traceable M&TE to ensure that our manufacturing processes, research & technology, and test & evaluation activities are repeatable and reproducible.
