Measurement Engineer

ROLE OBJECTIVE

To evaluate measurement feasibility for new and existing components, develop suitable measurement strategies, and design precision jigs/fixtures to ensure accurate, repeatable, and efficient dimensional inspection processes within the Measurement Lab.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Measurement Feasibility & Planning

• Assess manufacturability and measurement feasibility of components based on drawings, GD&T requirements, and customer specifications.
• Develop measurement strategies using CMM, VMM, height gauges, and other metrology equipment.
• Define critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics and ensure measurable capability.
• Conduct MSA studies (GR&R, Bias, Linearity, Stability) to validate feasibility.
• Prepare measurement feasibility reports and share with cross-functional teams
• Standardize measurement methods across lab stations.
• Troubleshoot measurement issues and recommend improvements.
• Maintain documentation for measurement procedures, inspection standards, and calibration records.
• Work with design and manufacturing team

2. Jigs & Fixture Design for Measurement

• Design jigs, fixtures, and holding devices for precision measurement of complex parts.
• Ensure fixture designs support repeatability, stability, and ease of use in the measurement process.
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and ensure fixture compatibility with measurement equipment.
• Prepare manufacturing drawings and collaborate with tool-room/vendors for fixture fabrication.
• Validate fixture performance and document improvements.

EDUCATION/KNOWLEDGE

• BE/ B. Tech (Mechanical)
• Mechanical Diploma

CRITICAL EXPERIENCE

• 37 years of experience in measurement engineering, metrology, or jig/fixture design.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T and tolerance analysis.
• Hands-on experience with CMM programming
• Experience designing jigs and fixtures using CAD tools
• Knowledge of measurement equipment: CMM, VMM, etc.
• Experience in automotive/precision manufacturing is an advantage.
• Exposure to MSA, PPAP, APQP, and IATF 16949 requirements.

COMPETENCIES

• Expert in GD&T interpretation and measurement planning
• Proficiency in CAD design (jigs/fixtures)
• Strong analytical and problemsolving skills
• Understanding of metrology principles
