Metrology Technician

h3Metrology Technician /h3 pEvery part that comes in the door. You're the last check before it goes to the floor. /p pPAVE Space is building LYOBA, a heavy kick stage moving over 4-ton payloads from LEO to high-energy orbits in under 24 hours. Engine parts, structural castings, printed thrust chambers from external bureaus, fluid components, electronics, every one of them passes through your hands before it touches a vehicle. That's the job. /p h3So, why now? /h3 pEngine and structural hardware is starting to land from suppliers, the workshop is being built, and the inspection equipment that will verify everything coming through the door needs to be specified now. The incoming inspection function doesn't exist yet. You'll define it, on a timeline measured in weeks, not quarters. /p h3What you'll own /h3 ul liIncoming inspection of supplier hardware, castings, forgings, machined parts, AM parts from external bureaus, fluid components, electronics /li liSelection and commissioning of the shop's inspection equipment: CMM, optical, surface roughness, profilometry, hardness /li liThe calibration register and traceability chain, defensible to ISO 17025 standards /li liSupplier non-conformance: document, escalation, manage the return and rework loop with Procurement and the Quality / PA Lead /li liInspection tooling for the shop floor: what gauges, fixtures, and reference standards belong at each station /li liSpot-check support for in-house machined and printed parts when the team needs an independent measurement /li liThe dimensional evidence chain that supports flight qualification dossiers /li /ul h3What we need /h3 ul li5+ years of metrology or incoming inspection engineering in aerospace, turbomachinery, medical, or another precision industry /li liHands-on CMM programming and operation (Zeiss, Mitutoyo, Hexagon, or equivalent) /li liStrong GDT fluency, including translating drawing requirements into measurement strategy /li liWorking knowledge of ISO 17025 calibration discipline and traceability chains /li liExperience with optical metrology, surface roughness, and form measurement /li liComfortable specifying and commissioning inspection equipment from scratch /li liTrack record handling supplier non-conformance, documenting, escalating, and seeing it through to resolution /li liEnglish, fluently; French strongly preferred /li /ul pbNice to have /b: metrology of printed parts (regen channels, internal features, X-ray CT); rocket engine or turbomachinery hardware verification; experience standing up an incoming inspection function rather than inheriting one. /p h3You'll fit right in if /h3 ul liYou'd rather catch a bad part at the door than at integration. /li liYou see the inspection equipment as a system; calibrated, traceable, and only as good as the discipline behind it. /li liYou take pride in non-conformances that get resolved cleanly, not in finding things to reject. /li liYou're comfortable telling a supplier their part is out of spec and standing behind the measurement when they push back. /li liYou see your work as the reason the team upstream of you can trust what they're building with. /li /ul pThe job is fully on-site in Villeneuve (VD), with our test site in Chavalon twenty minutes away. The incoming inspection function is being built from scratch; you'll be specifying the equipment, defining the routines, and setting the standards. You'll report to the Quality / PA Lead and work closely with the Workshop, Procurement, and the Manufacturing team. This is hard and early. If you want a mature metrology lab with a calibrated equipment fleet, this is the wrong seat. If you want to build that lab for the most ambitious space program in Switzerland, it's the right one. /p pWe are building to ship, grounded on real hardware, real funding, real milestones. Apply to contribute, surrounded by people as sharp as you are. And if this isn't you but you know that person. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
