About the role

Dimensional measurement authority within Neuralink's Supply Chain team. Responsible for CMM programming and fixturing, IQC workflow for purchased parts, first-article and in-process inspection of in-house parts, and training/certifying additional CMM operators to scale metrology capabilities across design, manufacturing, and supplier quality.

Responsibilities

  • Own CMM programming, fixturing, calibration, and measurement uncertainty for bridge CMM, optical CMM, and portable arm fleet (Zeiss / Hexagon / Romer / FaroArm class equipment).
  • Build the IQC workflow for purchased parts: Sample plans, AS9102 / first-article review, independent CMM verification of critical features, and NCR loop back to suppliers.
  • Perform first-article and in-process inspection on in-house machined parts — flexures, housings, Titanium / PEEK components, and other small, complex, tight-tolerance geometry.
  • Apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T rigorously: Build defensible datum schemes, appropriate alignments, and run contact and scanning routines for reproducible results.
  • Generate clean, reviewable inspection reports (PC-DMIS, Calypso, PolyWorks, or equivalent) feeding design reviews and supplier scorecards.
  • Author and own the CMM operator training curriculum; certify additional operators across machinists, technicians, and engineers.
  • Partner with Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Supplier Quality on tolerance stack-ups, datum strategy, fixture design, and capability studies before parts release to fab.
  • Maintain calibration, traceability, and gage R&R for measurement equipment; help mature quality system toward audit-ready (ISO 13485 / FDA QSR) standards.
  • Visit suppliers to debug fit/form/function issues at the source and accelerate corrective actions.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years (mid) or 7+ years (senior) of hands-on CMM experience on bridge CMMs and portable arms in production/precision manufacturing.
  • Strong CMM programming skills in PC-DMIS, Calypso, PolyWorks, Verisurf, or comparable, including alignments, iterative datum schemes, and scanning routines.
  • Deep knowledge of ASME Y14.5 GD&T for small, complex, tight-tolerance parts (sub-thousandth-of-an-inch features common).
  • Experience reviewing AS9102 / PPAP-style first-article documentation and writing clear NCRs driving supplier corrective action.
  • Fixturing instinct and ability to design/build fixtures or iterate alignments.
  • Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting results to engineers and leadership.
  • High ownership and bias to action; comfortable being the single accountable person for measurement integrity on a program.
