This position is based in Mounds View, Minnesota and requires onsite presence five days per week. Limited local travel may be required to support calibration activities at nearby Medtronic facilities.

As an Electronic Calibration / Metrology Technician III, you will perform advanced calibration, measurement, troubleshooting, and technical support activities for electrical test, inspection, and measurement equipment. This role supports laboratory and on-site calibration services, contributes to calibration procedure development, and partners with engineers, technicians, and equipment owners to ensure measurement accuracy, traceability, and compliance.

Primary Responsibilities

Perform calibrations and measurements using maintained reference standards to ensure traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International System of Units (SI).
Calibrate, evaluate, and document results for electrical test, inspection, and measurement equipment, including both commercial and custom-built test systems.
Record calibration data using approved templates and systems, and initiate Out-of-Tolerance (OOT) or Nonconformance (NC) documentation when required.
Provide laboratory and on-site calibration support for equipment that cannot be relocated due to size, sensitivity, or operational constraints.
Develop, revise, and maintain calibration procedures using manufacturer specifications, laboratory methods, system requirements, and approved documentation.
Troubleshoot, inspect, adjust, and repair test and measurement equipment to support ongoing operations and project needs.
Partner with engineers, technicians, and equipment owners to coordinate calibration activities and provide guidance regarding measurement equipment selection and use.
