ABOUT THE TEAM
We are looking for a Metrology Engineer to stand up and own the measurement systems that ensure the quality of the products we design and build at Atlanta, GA. This is a greenfield role: Atlanta does not have a metrology lab today, and you will help design the space, specify and procure the equipment, coordinate the installation, and bring it online. From there you'll design, validate, and implement measurement methods, gages, and inspection strategies, and integrate metrology early with design, manufacturing, and quality.
Your initial focus will be ALTIUS, where we are bringing component and subassembly inspection in-house that has traditionally been sent to third parties. You'll work hands-on across contact and non-contact systems, including CMMs, portable arms, 3D scanners, laser trackers, CT, and optical systems from manufacturers such as Hexagon, Zeiss, OGP, and Keyence, to solve measurement problems, and support root cause investigations.

Tips for Your Metrology Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to measurement standards
List the specific standards you've worked under, such as ISO 10012, ANSI Z540, or ASME Y14.5, and name the measurement systems you've operated. Generic metrology resumes get screened out when postings list exact standards as requirements.
Lead with your CMM and software experience
Coordinate measuring machine experience and the software behind it, like PC-DMIS, Calypso, or Polyworks, appear in a large share of metrology engineer postings. Put those names near the top of your resume so they clear automated screening fast.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists metrology engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by industry quality standard
Aerospace metrology roles often require AS9100 or NADCAP experience, while medical device roles lean on ISO 13485. Search with those terms alongside your title to surface postings where your specific background is a direct match, not just a partial fit.
Prepare a measurement uncertainty example for interviews
Interviewers at precision-focused employers commonly ask candidates to walk through how they quantify measurement uncertainty on a production line. Prepare a concrete example using GUM methodology so you can answer without hedging.
Negotiate scope before accepting an offer
Metrology engineer roles vary widely between lab-focused calibration work and production floor gauge R&R support. Confirm which you'll own, what equipment budget you control, and whether the role feeds into engineering change requests before you accept.
Metrology Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most metrology engineers?
Tesla, Apple, and onsemi are hiring the most metrology engineers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Aerospace and defense contractors and semiconductor equipment manufacturers account for a large share of active postings.
How many metrology engineer jobs are remote?
About 25% of metrology engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most measurement and inspection work. Sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility include metrology software development, measurement systems analysis consulting, and quality management roles where lab presence is not required daily.
How do you become a metrology engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, physics, or industrial engineering, then build hands-on experience with CMMs, optical comparators, or laser trackers through internships or entry-level quality roles. Learning PC-DMIS or a comparable metrology software package and earning a certification such as ASQ Certified Quality Engineer strengthens your candidacy. Most employers expect candidates to demonstrate practical GD&T interpretation skills before moving into a full metrology engineer title.
How do you get a metrology engineer job with little experience?
Start by targeting quality technician or dimensional inspector roles, which give you direct CMM and gauge calibration exposure without requiring a full engineering background. Demonstrating that you can read and apply GD&T drawings and that you've run at least basic gauge R&R studies matters more to hiring managers than years of experience. A short course in measurement uncertainty or a recognized calibration standard builds credibility when your direct experience is thin.
What does the metrology engineer interview process look like?
Most hiring processes involve a phone screen with HR focused on your equipment background, followed by a technical interview where you'll interpret GD&T drawings, explain a measurement uncertainty budget, or walk through a previous gauge R&R study. Some employers add a practical assessment where you demonstrate CMM programming or fixture design skills on-site. Final rounds typically include a conversation with the quality or engineering director about how metrology feeds into the product development process.
Where can I find and apply to metrology engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to metrology engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your background and apply directly to each one that fits.
