<p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">SENIOR METROLOGY TECHICIAN</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

<p> <br><span data-contrast="auto">As a Senior Metrology Technician, you will provide technical support within the Neutron Space Systems Complex Metrology Engineering Team. Your focus will be primarily on measurement tasks for Neutron tanks, thrust modules and associated gauge and build fixtures. In this role, you will operate various metrology equipment to program and/or execute measurement routines for part and sub-assemblies, following the design drawing specifications and work instructions. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">A strong background, confidence and efficiency to develop measurement programs using metrology software and Lazer trackers such as the Leica 960LR or similar is essential, as is the ability to work independently. You will be required to perform most of these duties on the production floor using portable metrology equipment to measure and perform complex scans or inspect tooling fixtures and gauges. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
