About You
To be successful in this role, you will have strong experience within metrology, quality inspection, dimensional analysis, or precision engineering, ideally gained within the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, motorsport, or engineering sectors.
You will have proven experience programming and operating CMM equipment, particularly twin-column and bridge machines using CAMIO software on LK Metrology hardware. Practical experience using Faro Arms, laser trackers, PolyWorks software, and a range of handheld inspection equipment is essential.
