The Opportunity:
CACI is looking for a Metrologist to join the team at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Decision's (NSWCCDs) Fabrication Team
In this role, you will utilize high precision measurement equipment (coordinate measurement machines (CMMs), laser tracker equipment, ultrasonic devices, calipers, verniers, electronic protractors, squares, height gauges, depth gauges, indicators, and micrometers) and perform computerized spatial analysis. Calibrate equipment then measure item geometry and spatial relationships. This includes small and large-scale items requiring dimension and tolerance analysis to determine accuracy. Shall restrain items to prevent hog and sag deformation prior to measurement. Provide Tolerance Measurement Study upon completion. Perform preventative and routine maintenance and calibration of measurement equipment as needed and issue calibration certificates.
Responsibilities:
Prepare measurement reports per customer specifications. Determine if first article parts are acceptable.
Implement new innovative practices to promote part accuracy, and proficiency. This may include, but is not limited to, new reporting templates or formats that better facilitate the documentation, reporting, and tracking of precision measurement activities.
Use Polyworks Metrology Software to inspect high tolerance finished components designed with minimal fixturing to preform article inspection.
Use Polyworks to advise shop management, supervisors, and planners, during the planning and costing phase, on the difficulty, complexity and potential issues which may arise during the inspection process.
Analyze and diagnose problems which may arise during the inspection process. Utilize Polyworks or Spatial Analyzer to determine root cause of potential issues and develop methods and processes to ensure that similar issues are reduce or eliminate in future tasks.
Use Polyworks software to perform Laser Tracker measurements according to the Model Fabrication Facility policies and standard practices
Adhere to the Model Fabrication Facility policies and standard practices were applicable.
Design specialized tooling fixtures to be used to support the production of complex machined components
Applies knowledge of engineering disciplines in structural design, weld design materials applications and prototype design
Skilled in the interpretation of complex engineered drawings, sketches and verbal communications.
Qualifications:
Required
High School diploma or equivalent.
Experience with utilizing high precision measurement equipment (coordinate measurement machines (CMMs), laser tracker equipment, ultrasonic devices, calipers, verniers, electronic protractors, squares, height gauges, depth gauges, indicators, and micrometers) and performing computerized spatial analysis
Knowledge of manufacturing trades including industrial and commercial manufacturing processes to contribute to the engineering design and development function
Ability to collect and analyze data in test samples and fabrication mockups and apply the data collected to the fabrication of future high cost components and models
Experienced in inspecting and dimensionally verifying components and models to ensure compliance with dimension specified in drawings, specifications and control documents.
Experience with generating and delivering measurement reports per customer specifications
Thorough understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerance practices, including NIST.
Ability to read and work from highly detailed drawings and specifications.
Desire to learn, ask questions, and take initiative within safety and skills limitations.
