  • Analyze measurement data, generate inspection reports, and communicate dimensional deviations and nonconformances

  • Serve as the Tooling Engineer responsible for engineered tooling and fixtures across their full lifecycle

  • Track and maintain the tooling and fixture inventory, including identification, status, location, and configuration control

  • Conduct surveillance of tooling and fixtures, including periodic verification, condition monitoring, and calibration/requalification scheduling

  • Manage the controlled release of engineered tooling and fixtures to production, ensuring validation and documentation are complete before use

  • Maintain tooling and fixture documentation, revision history, and records in accordance with quality and configuration-management requirements

  • Coordinate design, procurement, build, and rework of tooling and fixtures with Engineering, R&D, and suppliers

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Quality, Engineering, R&D, and Production to resolve dimensional and tooling issues

  • Ensure compliance with internal quality procedures, metrology standards, and tooling control requirements

  • Drive continuous improvement in inspection programming, measurement accuracy, and tooling reliability

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related technical field preferred, but not required

  • Hands-on experience programming CMMs and/or 3D scanning systems (e.g., PC-DMIS, Calypso, Polyworks, or similar)

  • Strong proficiency interpreting CAD models, engineering drawings, and GD&T

  • Experience with measurement system analysis (MSA/Gage R&R) and dimensional data analysis

  • Experience designing, specifying, or managing tooling and fixtures

  • Familiarity with tooling lifecycle control, including tracking, surveillance, calibration/requalification, and release processes

  • Understanding of configuration management, revision control, and quality documentation practices

  • Knowledge of vehicle systems and assemblies is preferred

  • Ability to generate clear, detailed inspection and engineering reports

  • High attention to detail with strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
