Responsibilities
Serve as the primary metrology authority for the Aeromechanical Design Group, focusing on Romer Arm (portable CMM) measurement operations and data processing
Plan and execute precision measurement tasks to validate airframe geometry, tooling interfaces, and component installation alignment
Develop and implement measurement workflows, including calibration, setup, feature definition, and coordinate-system alignment using Romer Arm equipment and software (e.g., PolyWorks, Verisurf, or SpatialAnalyzer)
Interpret and apply GD&T principles (ASME Y14.5) to measurement planning, part verification, and tolerance analysis
Integrate metrology results with 3D CAD models (CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks) to support design verification and as-built model generation
Develop best practices and written procedures for Romer Arm operation, calibration, data handling, and traceability
Perform comparative analysis between design and measured data, identify dimensional deviations, and recommend corrective actions to design and fabrication teams
Collaborate closely with design engineers and technicians to plan measurement campaigns, establish datums, and verify mechanical installations during aircraft modification
Prepare technical documentation including inspection plans, dimensional-conformance reports, uncertainty statements, and calibration logs
Train and mentor junior engineers and technicians in Romer Arm operation, software utilization, and measurement methodology
Participate in structural design reviews and fit-check validations, providing metrology data to ensure conformance and proper integration
Ensure compliance with NASA AFRC and ETSS requirements for safety, calibration control, and data integrity
