About The Position

Flex is a diversified manufacturing partner that helps brands design, build, and deliver products. The Quality Metrology Engineer will be based at Austin Research Blvd in Texas and report to Igor Besic. The role develops test methods and procedures to determine product dimensional features and performs validation and production inspections for products made through manufacturing and assembly processes. The engineer applies metrology principles and measurement tools, develops and maintains inspection programs, and works effectively with engineering and manufacturing teams. The role may also involve creating data-processing and automation tools, applying statistical methods and Measurement System Analysis concepts, and finding opportunities to improve processes, reduce waste, and increase productivity.

Requirements

Experience with metrology.
Ability to apply fundamental ASME Y14.5 and/or ISO GPS principles to interpret, evaluate, and communicate dimensional and geometric requirements accurately.
Experience using 2D and 3D CAD systems, such as SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or MBD.
Ability to perform accurate measurements with manual inspection tools such as dial indicators, calipers, and micrometers, and assess validity and repeatability.
Understanding of manufacturing processes and common manufacturing defects to anticipate variability.
Ability to develop, execute, and maintain inspection programs using CMM software platforms such as DMIS, PC-DMIS, Calypso, Metrologic, Modus, Micro-Vu, GOM, or Geomagic.
Effectiveness in working with engineering and manufacturing.
Clarity and simplicity in programs, design, documentation, and reports.
