Metrologist at Resonetics in Blaine, MN

Overview

Resonetics is seeking a hands-on Metrologist to take ownership of measurement systems across both New Product Introduction (NPI) and legacy production.

This is a hands-on role (70–80% hands-on) — you will be programming, running, troubleshooting, and improving measurement systems while also setting direction and standardizing how measurement is done.

This role is best suited for a highly skilled CMM programmer / metrology expert who wants real ownership, not just execution.

What You’ll Own

• Day-to-day performance of all measurement systems (CMM, vision, laser, custom gaging)
• Inspection strategy for new products (FAI, validation builds, early development support)
• Measurement performance in production (speed, accuracy, repeatability)
• Standardization of measurement methods across parts and programs

Why Join Resonetics?

• Work on high-precision, tight-tolerance components
• Be a go-to technical expert with real ownership
• Direct impact on both new product launches and production performance
• Opportunity to shape how measurement is done, not just follow it

Responsibilities

• Program, run, and optimize CMM and vision systems (PC-DMIS, Calypso, or similar)
• Build inspection strategies directly from prints and CAD models
• Lead and execute MSA, GR&R, and capability studies
• Troubleshoot measurement issues and drive root cause resolution
• Maintain calibration systems and ensure traceability
• Support validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) for new equipment and processes
• Partner with engineering on GD&T interpretation and inspection approach
• Reduce inspection cycle time without compromising accuracy
• Train and mentor technicians; write work instructions and establish standard work
• Provide design input on measurement fixture design and development.
• Support audits (ISO 13485, FDA)

Required Qualifications

• Associate’s degree or equivalent hands-on experience
• 2-5+ years in metrology, CMM programming, or precision measurement
• Strong, practical GD&T expertise (ASME Y14.5)
• Proven ability to program and troubleshoot CMMs independently
• Experience supporting both NPI and production environments
• Strong understanding of MSA, GR&R, and measurement fundamentals
• Experience with Minitab Measurement Systems Analysis (or equivalent statistical software)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in medical device or tight-tolerance manufacturing
• Experience working directly from CAD models (not just prints)
• Exposure to multiple platforms (CMM, vision, laser)
• Experience mentoring or leading other technicians
• ASQ (CQT/CQE) or GD&T certification

What Success Looks Like

• New products are inspection-ready without delays
• GR&R and measurement capability are consistently strong
• Inspection methods are standardized and repeatable
• Measurement issues are quickly identified and resolved
• Cycle times improve without sacrificing accuracy

Compensation

The compensation for this role is competitive and will be based on experience and qualifications. The anticipated range is $27.00- $37.00
