Metrology Alignment Engineer

Job Description

As our Metrology Alignment Engineer, you'll be the person high-performance manufacturing and research teams call when equipment absolutely has to be dialed in — laser trackers, CMMs, autocollimators, and interferometers in hand, hunting down thermal drift and mechanical shift before they become tomorrow's downtime. This is a travel-based, Northeast-coverage role: you'll be on-site where the tools live, working shoulder-to-shoulder with design, mechanical, and systems engineering teams. What You Will Do:

• Perform alignment and calibration of high-precision equipment using laser trackers, CMMs, autocollimators, interferometers, and other metrology tools.
• Develop and execute metrology plans supporting installation, maintenance, and upgrades of tools and systems.
• Analyze measurement data to pinpoint alignment errors, mechanical shifts, or thermal expansion effects — and apply the corrective fix.
• Partner with design, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to bake alignment requirements into projects from day one.
• Document metrology procedures, alignment reports, and measurement uncertainty analyses.
• Provide technical support during tool installation, integration, and troubleshooting.
• Maintain and improve metrology system accuracy through regular calibration and verification routines.
• Train junior staff and technicians on proper metrology and alignment procedures.
• Keep every task compliant with safety and quality standards. What You Bring:
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, or related field — OR an Associate's degree in Metrology or Mechanical Engineering plus 2 years of hands-on precision alignment experience.
• 2 years of experience in precision alignment or metrology within a high-tech environment.
• Hands-on proficiency with advanced metrology tools (FARO, API, Leica laser tracker, Renishaw systems).
• Solid grasp of GD&T, error budgeting, and tolerance analysis.
• Sharp problem-solving instincts and an eye for detail that doesn't quit.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Dependable, flexible, and comfortable with a travel-heavy schedule.
• Familiarity with 3D software such as Spatial Analyzer, Build-It, and PC-DMIS.
• CAD experience.
• Able to read mechanical blueprints and apply them in both field and office settings.
• Comfortable in Microsoft Office. Why Triosim? We're a company built to serve — and that starts with the people who keep our clients' most demanding systems running true.
