Dimensional Inspection Automation Engineer at TOMZ

Berlin, CT

Do you speak GD&T fluently? Can you turn a drawing and specification into a bulletproof CMM routine? Are Calypso or PC‑DMIS your go‑to tools for capturing truth in measurement? If yes, let’s talk.

What you’ll tackle

• Develop, verify, and run automated CMM and metrology programs for first‑piece, in‑process, and final inspections.
• Prove out routines to reduce bias, control linearity, and minimize repeatability/reproducibility errors—while accounting for Alpha and Beta measurement risks.
• Maintain automated inspection equipment: probe qualifications, routine cleaning, and scale inspections.
• Design/procure fixtures and functional gages that ensure stable, repeatable setups; define instrument criteria and specifications.
• Connect data streams from measurement systems to inspection plans for automatic collection and traceability.
• Build and refine inspection methods, tool maps, FAIs, and in‑process checks; update programs/documents with engineering changes.
• Contribute to root‑cause investigations when measurement, tooling, or programming issues arise.
• Lead/support Gage R&R and other MSA studies.
• Support or perform calibration to maintain traceability to national/international standards.
• Author work instructions; train operators on designated automated inspection equipment.
• Take on related duties as assigned.

What you bring

• Ability to interpret GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
• Experience with precision instruments and systems: CMMs, Vision Systems, Contracers.
• Clear written and verbal communication (English).
• Fluency in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint; comfort with Adobe PDF.
• 3D modeling and drafting experience.
• Hands‑on with Calypso CMM or Open DMIS.
• Collaborative approach with R&D, Manufacturing, and QA; able to deliver with minimal oversight.

Nice to have

• Experience in regulated manufacturing (Aerospace, Defense, Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, etc.).
• Knowledge of GMP/ISO standards.
• Background with CT scanning, White Light, and broader 3D metrology.
