Position Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineering Contractor with strong CAD expertise and hands-on experience operating metrology equipment—specifically Computed Tomography (CT) scanners.
This role will support ongoing R&D, product development, and validation activities, with additional responsibilities in injection molding process support, part inspection, and documentation.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, technically strong, and comfortable working in a fast-paced engineering environment with minimal supervision.
Key Responsibilities:
Metrology & CT Scanning:
Operate industrial CT scanners and related metrology equipment for dimensional analysis and internal structural evaluation of components.
Generate and interpret 3D datasets, including voxel-based reconstructions and high-resolution scans preferably on VolumeGraphics VGStudio MAX.
Perform GD&T-based dimensional inspections and create comprehensive metrology reports.
Identify defects, internal features, voids, and dimensional variances through CT analysis.
Maintain scan logs, and data-storage workflows.
CAD & Mechanical Engineering:
Create, modify, and update 3D CAD models and 2D drawings (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent).
Perform tolerance analyses and ensure design intent is captured accurately.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support design improvements and manufacturability evaluations.
Assist in prototype development and design verification activities.
Injection Molding Support:
Support injection-molded part evaluations, including first-article inspections and mold-validation tasks.
Analyze molded part defects (sink, warp, flash, dimensional drift) using both CAD and CT data.
Collaborate with tooling engineers, mold technicians, or external vendors as required.
Support mold trials, sample coordination, and part quality documentation.
