Calibration Technician

Basic Qualifications

• Possess technical knowledge in the field of physical sciences or electronics equivalent to completion of two years of courses in electronics, metrology, or other related subjects, or successful completion of the basic DoD Calibration School, or an Associate of Science degree in electronics or engineering technology.
• Possess mechanical aptitude and the ability to use general purpose hand tools.
• Skilled in the use of computers and ability to learn new computer applications.
• Ability to qualify for and maintain certifications/qualifications and/or licenses to perform assigned duties.
• Direct calibration and metrology experience.
• You will need to be a U.S. Citizen and be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD Security Clearance to support this government contract. No clearance is required to apply. An interim Secret clearance is required prior to start.

This classification requires the performance of precise calibration measurements and repair functions on electrical/electronic/physical/mechanical type reference and secondary standards, and related equipment. Maintain these standards and equipment to the requirements necessary for achieving traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the United States Navy, or other recognized national metrology institutes. Work is performed where standards, procedures, and sequences have been determined.

Perform varied work assignments within the Metrology Organization to acquire the knowledge, skill, and ability required to perform the duties of a qualified Electronic Calibration Technician Senior.

Work in Metrology functions with technical assistance and guidance or work independently with complete procedures or written instruction after initial on-the-job instruction and guidance. Work with progressively less guidance and instruction as knowledge, skill, and experience in classification increases. Perform inspection to determine that equipment to be calibrated is in suitable condition for calibration and use. Troubleshoot and make minor repairs and adjustments needed to accomplish calibration.

Perform calibration tasks in the laboratory or in place on electrical/electronic/physical/mechanical Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) such as AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, power, phase, frequency, microwave, electronic voltmeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators, multi-meters, power supplies, frequency and event counters, digital voltmeters, and test sets, pressure, vacuum, liquid and gas flow, mass, length, optical, temperature, humidity, torque, force, vibration, and tachometry calibrations.

Monitor the performance of the laboratory standards in use and may assist in troubleshooting and repair of laboratory standards. Use procedures, data sheets, or manufacturers’ manuals and specifications in the performance of calibration. Collect data for trend charts and check standards. Participate in government and commercial audits and assessments. Assist with and/or perform in-place calibrations. Perform related duties as required.

• Five years of experience calibrating Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment
• Proven ability to function successfully in a team environment.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and other computer software applications.
• ASQ Certified Calibration Technician.
• Attended various training for Metrology, such as DOD PMEL or manufacturer training.
• Familiarity with following procedures and quality inspection verification.
