Metrology Engineer

• Proven experience in dimensional metrology within an automotive environment - without this, the candidate will not understand the specific quality standards of the sector.
• Proficiency in CMM and/or 3D scanning - this is the core tool of the role; without this, they cannot perform the required measurements.
• Knowledge of GD&T - essential for correctly interpreting technical drawings.
• Availability to start in August/September - given the urgent nature of the search, a candidate without near availability does not resolve the client's immediate need.
• Fluent English (or the language required by the client for reporting) - necessary for communication with global engineering teams.

• Experience with PPAP/APQP - this is an advantage because it streamlines the validation of new parts, but it is not a blocker if training can be provided.
• Knowledge of CAD (Catia/NX) - helps to compare design vs. physical part more quickly.
• Automotive quality certifications (IATF 16949) - this is a credibility plus, not essential.

We are looking for a Metrology Engineer to join an automotive manufacturing plant in Valencia (Paterna, Parque Tecnológico). The person will be responsible for guaranteeing the dimensional accuracy of components and assemblies using advanced measuring equipment, supporting quality control processes, tooling validation, and continuous improvement on the production line.

• CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine): machines that measure the physical dimensions of a part with extremely high precision, comparing them against the CAD design.
• GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing): a system of symbols and rules used to specify form, size, and position tolerances on technical drawings.
• CAD (Catia, NX or similar): computer-aided design software used to review drawings and compare them against physical parts.
• 3D Scanning / Laser Scanning: technology that captures the complete geometry of a part for deviation analysis.
• SPC (Statistical Process Control): statistical methods used to monitor and control the stability of a manufacturing process.
• PPAP / APQP: standard automotive industry documentation and processes used to validate that a part meets specifications before mass production.
