Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a time you used reverse engineering or scanning to support a new product.
What they are checking: Hands-on experience with scanning tools and turning measurement data into something engineers can use.
Tell me about working with teams in other countries to standardize a measurement process.
What they are checking: Collaboration on global measurement platforms, which the posting highlights.
How do you explain a dimensional nonconformance to someone without a metrology background?
What they are checking: Communicating measurement results clearly so cross-functional teams make good decisions.
What would you do
Your CMM results disagree with the supplier's results on the same part. How do you sort it out?
What they are checking: A methodical approach to correlation covering datums, fixturing, programs and environment.
An engineer wants to tighten a tolerance that your measurement system can barely hold. What do you tell them?
What they are checking: Whether they push back with data on the cost and risk of tolerances that cannot be measured reliably.
About the work
In a design review, how do you spot a GD&T callout that will be hard to measure or does not capture design intent?

Walk me through how you would evaluate a supplier's measurement capability before production starts.
What they are checking: Understanding of supplier measurement risk and how to check it, which the role leads.
How do you set up a gauge R&R study, and what do you do if the results are poor?
What they are checking: Real measurement systems analysis skill and knowing how to improve a failing system.
How do you decide between a CMM, a vision system and a 3D scanner for a feature?
What they are checking: Matching measurement method to tolerance, part size and speed needs.
What sources of measurement error do you watch for most on plastic parts?
What they are checking: Awareness of temperature, part flex, fixturing and datum issues common with molded parts.
