As a Calibration Technician III, you’ll perform advanced calibration work while serving as a technical resource within the laboratory.

• Independently perform complex calibrations within your qualified technical disciplines
• Set up, operate, and properly care for calibration standards and sophisticated test equipment
• Evaluate measurement results, tolerances, specifications, and technical requirements
• Identify out-of-tolerance conditions and investigate questionable or inconsistent results
• Troubleshoot difficult calibration problems using a logical, methodical approach
• Interpret manufacturer specifications, technical manuals, drawings, standards, and other technical documentation
• Review calibration procedures and contribute to the development, validation, and improvement of calibration methods
• Apply a strong working knowledge of measurement uncertainty, traceability, accuracy, tolerances, and measurement principles
• Consistently apply NCI’s Quality System and applicable ISO/IEC 17025 requirements
• Ensure calibration data, documentation, and technical records are complete, accurate, and defensible
• Communicate technical findings clearly and support the investigation and resolution of technical or quality issues
• Train and mentor Calibration Technician I and II team members and reinforce proper calibration practices
• Continue expanding qualifications into additional equipment types and technical disciplines
• Take ownership of assigned work from setup through final technical review

We’re looking for an experienced technician who combines strong technical ability with sound judgment, professionalism, and a commitment to quality.

• Have significant calibration experience or equivalent experience in a precision technical field
• Demonstrate advanced mechanical, electrical, dimensional, or analytical aptitude

• Recognize when measurement results don’t make sense and know how to investigate why
• Troubleshoot complex technical and measurement problems
• Consistently produce accurate, high-quality work
• Be comfortable making technical decisions within their area of expertise while knowing when additional review is appropriate
• Communicate technical information clearly and professionally
• Be capable of training and developing less-experienced technicians
• Take ownership and accountability for the quality of their work
• Continue learning as equipment, technology, and measurement requirements evolve

Experience in calibration, metrology, electronics, dimensional measurement, machining, manufacturing, quality, testing, engineering, or another precision technical environment may be relevant.

A Level III technician doesn’t just know how to perform a calibration. They understand why the measurement is being made, what can influence the result, and how to determine whether that result can be trusted.

When something doesn’t look right, they investigate. When a procedure isn’t clear, they know how to find and interpret the…
