As a Calibration / Metrology Technician III, you will perform job functions under limited supervision in laboratory, production, clean room, and test environments. Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Perform calibrations and measurements traceable to NIST and the International System of Units (SI) using appropriately maintained reference standards. Test, inspection, and measurement equipment ranges from general-purpose physical and dimensional equipment to more complex systems. Disciplines include mass, temperature, humidity, vacuum, length, optics, conductivity, pressure, dimensional metrology, force, torque, flow, and more.
• Create and modify calibration procedures by determining metrology requirements from manufacturer manuals, laboratory methods, system requirements, or other approved documentation.
• Interact with equipment-owning engineers and technicians to schedule calibration activities, provide guidance related to the selection of test and measurement equipment, and lead others in following documented Metrology department procedures.
• Maintain a strong attention to detail while properly documenting calibration results in the calibration tracking database using validated templates or test point grids. As appropriate, issue Out of Tolerance (OOT) or Nonconformance (NC) reports and support investigation efforts.
• Work with data acquisition and validation equipment (e.g., process control equipment/controllers, chart recorders, DC analog/signal conditioners, and transducers).
• Troubleshoot, inspect, and adjust or repair test and measurement equipment in support of new and existing projects.

• 2+ years of electronic or physical calibration-related technical school training (approximately 60 semester credits), preferably including metrology and calibration, or equivalent military education such as PMEL or similar training.
• ASQ Certified Calibration Technician (CCT).
• Strong background in mathematics, statistics, and physics.
• Solid technical aptitude with experience in equipment setup and troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint), Windows operating systems, Minitab (or other statistical analysis software), and AssetPanda (or other calibration tracking database software).
• Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) techniques, including blueprint interpretation.
• Experience developing and validating Microsoft Excel spreadsheet templates.
• Experience working in medical device or other regulated industries.
• Experience applying DMAIC or similar structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Strong analytical, verbal, and written communication skills.
