Dimensional Metrology Quality Engineer

The work

You will provide expert inspection and measurement input for AI training work. The role focuses on first-article inspection deliverables, 3D scan data, scan-to-CAD accuracy, datum structures, profile and position callouts, and careful dimensional reasoning.

You will assess measurement evidence, explain your conclusions, and provide clear written and verbal feedback that supports first-article inspection sign-off decisions.

• Review and validate first-article inspection reports created from 3D scan data.
• Compare scans with CAD models and investigate the causes of measurement deviations.
• Set up, interpret, and document datum structures, profiles, and position callouts using industry standards.
• Apply CMM measurement methods and uncertainty analysis to assess dimensional integrity.
• Separate genuine part deviations from errors caused by fixturing or alignment.
• Create clear explanations that support quality decisions and reliable AI training inputs.

What it pays and takes

This is a part-time contractor role for someone with practical manufacturing or quality experience. Careful judgment, strong technical reasoning, and the ability to explain measurement evidence are central to the work.

• Pay: $50 to $100 per hour.
• Work type: Part-time contract.
• Location: Open to candidates across the listed countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
• Language: Professional fluency in English.
• Strong expertise in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing and first-article inspection processes.
• Experience producing or approving first-article inspection reports in manufacturing or quality environments.
• Proficiency with 3D scanning equipment and inspection software such as PolyWorks, GOM Inspect, or similar tools.
• Knowledge of CMM measurement techniques and uncertainty analysis.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications.
• Analytical judgment for distinguishing real quality issues from measurement-setup artefacts.
• Clear written and verbal communication with careful explanatory detail.
• Experience with AS9102 first articles, varied scan hardware, or CMM programming is helpful.
