About Slate
At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
Who We Are Looking For
Slate is seeking a motivated Metrology Engineer to join our growing team. This role is ideal for candidates with demonstrated entry-level to junior engineering experience who are eager to build technical skills in metrology, manufacturing quality, and laboratory operations. You will work closely with experienced engineers, quality, and production teams while gaining exposure to real‑world manufacturing and launch environments.
This is a strong opportunity to develop hands‑on experience with advanced measurement technologies while contributing directly to product quality and continuous improvement. We welcome applicants with developing technical skills who are eager to grow.
At Slate, we are committed to providing our employees and candidates with access to information about our compensation practices. The expected base salary range offered for this role is $101,000 - $126,000. Compensation may vary based on relevant experience, skills, and competencies, as well as geographic location. (Warsaw, IN)

Participate in internal audits, reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives
Follow all safety and quality protocols to maintain a safe and compliant lab and manufacturing environment
Stay engaged in learning new tools, software, and measurement methods as technologies and processes evolve
Perform other duties as assigned related to metrology and laboratory support
What You Bring To The Team
8+ years related experience with Bachelor's degree, 6 years with Master's degree, 3 years with PhD or equivalent experience in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or similar).

Familiarity with Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) for data analysis and communication
Willingness to learn GD&T and read technical drawings
Basic understanding of manufacturing or quality concepts (APQP, PPAP, MSA, SPC, etc.) is a plus
