The ideal candidate possesses a "quality-first" mindset, demonstrating extreme care when handling delicate glass and coated surfaces where even microscopic contamination or contact errors can result in significant losses. Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~15,000 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do. Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.

Requirements

Technical Experience: Minimum 1-2 years of experience operating CMMs (Zeiss/Calypso experience strongly preferred).
GD&T Proficiency: Deep understanding of ASME Y14.5 standards, including position, profile, and runout tolerances.
Cleanroom Familiarity: Proven experience working in a controlled environment (ISO Class 6 / Class 1,000 or cleaner).
Handling Skills: Demonstrated ability to work with fragile materials (glass, ceramics, or thin-gauge metals).
Education: High School Diploma or equivalent; Technical certification or Associate’s degree in Metrology, Engineering, or a related field is a plus.
Exceptional attention to detail and patience.
Ability to remain standing or sitting for extended periods in full cleanroom attire (bunny suit, mask, gloves).
Fine motor skills for handling small, delicate components and stylus configurations.

Responsibilities

CMM Operation & Programming: Setup and operate Zeiss CMMs using Calypso software to perform complex dimensional inspections.
Cleanroom Protocol: Maintain strict adherence to Class 6 cleanroom standards, including proper gowning, material "wipe-down" procedures, and environmental monitoring.
Fragile Handling: Execute manual loading and unloading of sensitive optical housings and assemblies on tools or gloved handling techniques to prevent scratches or chips.
Data Analysis: Interpret GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) blueprints to verify part compliance; generate and archive detailed inspection reports.
Maintenance: Perform daily probe calibrations and routine "styli" cleaning to ensure measurement repeatability.
Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing engineers to troubleshoot out-of-tolerance conditions and suggest fixturing improvements.
