Sr Metrology Engineer
About The Position
The MTEM Gage Calibration Laboratory provides calibration services for mechanical and physical measurement instruments supporting critical engineering, manufacturing, and test operations. The Senior Metrology Engineer provides technical leadership for calibration processes, measurement uncertainty analysis, decision rules, accreditation activities, and laboratory metrology practices. The role collaborates with engineering, quality, operations, and program teams to ensure calibration activities meet safety, quality, schedule, and compliance requirements, and identifies and implements improvements to laboratory capability, efficiency, and technical rigor. The MTEM department supports more than 450 test platforms and works closely with engineering and operations organizations across the business. This is a full-time, onsite position in Andover, Massachusetts.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM).
- Minimum years of prior relevant experience; the job posting states the number as “X years.”
- ASQ CCT or CQE certification.
- Working command of geometric specification per ASME Y14.5 and engineering drawing and documentation practice per ASME Y14.100.
- Experience developing calibration procedures and measurement uncertainty budgets that have successfully supported accreditation assessments.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required.
- An active and existing DoD Secret security clearance is required after day one.
Nice To Haves
- Hands-on Zeiss CMM work, including CALYPSO measurement-plan development involving alignment and datum strategy, sampling and filter selection, fitting algorithm choice, and task-specific uncertainty for a plan using ISO 15530-3 substitution, simulation, or an equivalent defensible method.
- Demonstrated expertise in ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, ANSI/NCSLI Z540.3, the VIM, and the GUM.
- Experience with automated calibration systems such as Fluke Metcal or Keysight TME.
- Experience mentoring or formally training technicians and junior engineers.
- Active participation in NCSL International, the Measurement Science Conference, or an equivalent professional community; assessor training under A2LA, NVLAP, or ANAB.
- Ability to effectively communicate and substantiate technical perspectives with peers and explain complex metrology concepts to leadership audiences.
Responsibilities
- Author, validate, and maintain calibration procedures across mechanical, physical, and dimensional parameters, including method selection, validation evidence, and assessment-ready records.
- Provide technical guidance and troubleshooting support to technicians and junior engineers on calibration setup, methodology, and measurement best practices.
- Develop and maintain measurement uncertainty budgets by defining measurement models, evaluating Type A and Type B contributions, and applying GUM or Monte Carlo methods as appropriate.
- Establish, document, and defend decision rules and guard-banding methodologies, including evaluation of false-acceptance risk and customer requirements.
- Lead expansion and maintenance of the laboratory's ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation scope, including development of CMCs and supporting technical evidence.
- Establish calibration intervals using technical data and risk-based methodologies, and serve as a technical escalation point for disputed calibration results.
- Communicate and coordinate in a timely manner with leadership and stakeholders across all shifts.
- Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities that enhance laboratory capability, efficiency, and technical rigor.
