• Use GD&T to interpret blueprints at all assembly levels
• Collect geometric data using laser tracker through model-based software
• Establish, apply, and install reference systems
• Provide analysis of collected data to provide direction for tooling operations
• Integrate process monitoring with fabrication processes
• Apply fabrication process on large structures
• Communicate to fabricators, machinists, assemblers, and engineers
• Ensure operations are performed safely and meet quality standards
• Maintain an orderly environment

Required qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalency certification
• 2+ years of millwright, machining or industrial mechanic experience
• 2+ years of professional experience working with laser trackers or other 3D measurement equipment
• Must be willing to work all shifts, overtime, and/or weekends as needed
• Stand: Up to 10 hours per day
• Sit: Up to 3 hours per day
