Calibration Technician

Description


The Calibration Technician performs calibration, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation activities in a laboratory environment and at local customer sites. Two opportunities are available: one developmental/trainee position for candidates with strong technical aptitude and a desire to learn calibration, and one Calibration Technician II position for candidates with established hands-on calibration experience.

Technicians will learn and apply approved calibration techniques, measurement standards, procedures, and quality requirements while developing proficiency across multiple calibration disciplines. More experienced Technician II candidates will perform calibration work independently, support customer-site activities, apply measurement techniques and uncertainty concepts, troubleshoot equipment, and maintain accurate calibration documentation.

Must-Have Skills, Experience, and Education:

• Strong technical aptitude and mechanical/electronic troubleshooting ability
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Ability and willingness to learn calibration processes, measurement techniques, and applicable standards
• Ability to troubleshoot technical equipment using procedures, manuals, and available technical resources
• Ability to follow approved calibration procedures and documentation requirements
• Ability to identify and use appropriate measurement techniques
• Ability to properly handle and maintain calibration standards and test equipment
• Ability to maintain accurate calibration records and documentation
• Ability to read and interpret technical procedures and instructions
• Strong problem-solving skills
