Metrologist

Resonetics•Hutchinson, MN

About The Position

Resonetics is seeking a hands-on Senior Metrology Technician to take ownership of measurement systems across both New Product Introduction (NPI) and legacy production. This is a working lead role (70–80% hands-on) — you will be programming, running, troubleshooting, and improving measurement systems while also setting direction and standardizing how measurement is done. This role is best suited for a highly skilled CMM programmer / metrology expert who wants real ownership, not just execution. You will own the day-to-day performance of all measurement systems (CMM, vision, laser, custom gaging), inspection strategy for new products (FAI, validation builds, early development support), measurement performance in production (speed, accuracy, repeatability), and standardization of measurement methods across parts and programs. Join Resonetics to work on high-precision, tight-tolerance components, be a go-to technical expert with real ownership, directly impact both new product launches and production performance, and have the opportunity to shape how measurement is done, not just follow it.
