Join the power movement as a Metrology Technician

CFS is seeking a detail-oriented, hands-on Metrology Technician to perform advanced laser scanning and CMM inspections in support of SPARC production and assembly. In this role, you'll generate high-quality scan and inspection data that enables the metrology engineering team to validate builds, troubleshoot issues, and keep production moving to deadline. The ideal candidate enjoys working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, takes pride in precision and documentation, and is eager to cross-train and grow within Quality Control.

Hours: 3:00 pm - 11:30 pm

Rate of pay: $30 - $38 per hour + 10% differential

What you'll do:

• Perform high-accuracy laser scanning of SPARC components to support production build-out and metrology engineering analysis, delivering results on tight timelines
• Operate CMM equipment and run inspection programs for special requests and receiving inspections; document results clearly and consistently
• Support daily calibration checks, routine maintenance, and basic troubleshooting for metrology equipment (laser scanners, portable CMM arms, and fixed CMMs) to ensure reliable measurement performance
• Maintain a safe, organized, and audit-ready quality lab by supporting 5S standards across Quality Control

What we're looking for:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• 6+ years of experience in a manufacturing or factory environment
• Working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) through training, coursework, or on-the-job experience
• Exposure to advanced metrology methods (e.g., laser scanning, CMM inspection) through prior roles, training, or technical programs
• Strong foundation in mechanical inspection fundamentals (reading drawings, using precision measurement tools, and documenting results)
• Hands-on quality inspection experience (in-process, final, or receiving inspection)
• Familiarity with advanced metrology tools and workflows (e.g., laser scanners, CMMs, portable arms) and an interest in deepening expertise
• Proficient in interpreting engineering drawings and applying GD&T per ASME Y14.5
• Able to set up, maintain, and use common precision inspection tools (calipers, micrometers, bore gages, ring/plug gages, profilometer, coating thickness gage, comparator, sine bar, etc.)
• Experience operating CMMs and/or portable measurement arms (e.g., Romer/FARO) is a plus

Bonus points for:

• Experience with fabrication processes (machining, molding, casting, composites, welding, or similar)
• CAD experience (modeling, drafting, or interpreting models to support inspection)
• Basic data analysis and statistics familiarity (e.g., gage R&R, SPC, DOE)

Must-have requirements:

• Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs
• Perform activities such as stooping, typing, standing, or sitting for extended periods of time
• Work in a facility that contains industrial hazards including heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
• Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally

$30 - $37 an hour
