Rina Takahashi

Metrology engineer who builds and validates test rigs, then correlates results to shop-floor reality. Turns tolerance stacks and environment control into practical tool selections.

Measurement capability is engineered across tool, process, and environment—not purchased off a shelf.

During a heat wave, our surface plate drifted enough to scrap a batch. I logged hourly temp, humidity, and plate expansion, then re-baselined our gauge blocks. The data convinced management to invest in environmental control—and our CMM finally matched the micrometers on Monday morning.

I favor accuracy stability, calibration traceability, and environmental control over convenience features.
