Experience
Graduate applications engineer | renishaw plc | sep 2024 – jun 2025
The initial applications rotation involved learning PC-DMIS (MODUS), basic and advanced, as well as the GD&T training certified by the NPL. Projects involved assessing the requirements of the item, planning out and writing an efficient measurement program, writing a report of the results on software such as QC-CALC highlighting the correct use of dimensioning and tolerances. Equipment used included Agility CMM’s with both 5-axis and 3-axis heads, specialty probes such as the ultrasonic probe and surface finish probes, as well as comparators, Equator 300, 500 and Equator-X.

The second support rotation focused on maintenance and hardware, early training built on the mechanics and functions of CMM’s & comparators, internally built and retrofit machines. External site visits to complete annual maintenance procedures, completing site checks and visit reports, follow commissioning and verification procedures, laser and manual practice, according to ISO-10360 standards. Work with software and metrology teams to sort and file commissioning reports back onto the database according to UKAS certification, following Jira test plans to develop the next iteration of UCC.
