Operational accelerator--drives continuous improvement; understands ramifications of automation and other advances; advocates for safety, ergonomics and scalable solutions; initiates and collaborates with plant leadership to drive improvements identified by AI

Organization and structure--works within existing structures while striving to improve and standardize them; provides accurate information; galvanizes others toward common goals

Influence--leverages knowledge, relationship, data and perspective to persuade, educate and navigate; gains buy in and adoption of ideas and practices at scale; interacts with a variety of stakeholders

Data informed--focused on things that drive quantifiable business outcomes; evaluates based on quantitative feedback; knows and explains the "why" behind actions; provides accurate information across functions

Prioritized reaction--handles the unexpected without losing sight of important objectives; reacts where greatest leverage points exist

Relationship--connects individually and with teams across shifts and practices; builds rapport and commonality; creates a "win together" ethic; serves as liaison between shop floor and engineering; keeps the pulse of the floor; helps people feel heard

Job Responsibilities

Develop, calibrate, and maintain measurement systems (CMM, vision systems, gauges, sensors) integrated with AI for automated inspection and real-time quality monitoring.

Analyze measurement data using AI/ML (machine learning) to detect anomalies, predict defects, and close the loop between design intent and production reality.

Ensure data integrity and traceability for AI training datasets; support digital twins or statistical process control enhanced by AI.

Collaborate on AI-powered vision/metrology solutions for 100% inline inspection, reducing manual checks.

Drive continuous improvement in measurement processes through interactive collaboration with product/process engineers to support AI scalability (e.g., reducing false positives in defect detection).

Basic Qualifications

BS in Metrology, Mechanical Engineering, or related field from an accredited institution

3+ years of manufacturing experience

Preferred Qualifications

GD&T, ISO 17025, and exposure to AI/computer vision
