Metrologist/CMM Technician

"Measuring is knowing." As a 3D measurement technician, you play a crucial role in ensuring quality, safety, and reliability—key factors in the aviation industry Using 3D measurement machines, you conduct interim, final, and repair inspections. This ensures quality throughout various stages of the production chain and prevents errors in subsequent production processes. The parts you work on are used in landing gears for the F-16 fighter jet, the Apache attack helicopter, the F35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the MQ9 Reaper (drone), and the multipurpose NH90 helicopter.

As a 3D Measurement Technician, you regularly interact with your colleagues on the production floor and in engineering. You perform initial product inspections (IPIs) and provide advice on the adjustment of production machines. If a product deviates, you prepare a deviation report using the applicable drawings and procedures.

You analyze and compare measurement data according to the relevant drawings and specifications and can explain how certain measurement results were achieved.
