We provide our clients with uncompromising accuracy, reliability and highly detailed calibration certificates. We pride ourselves on our rigorous standards and our deep technical understanding of sound and vibration measurement.

Odin Metrology was all but closed down until Mike Dickerson of MD Acoustics bought the company in spring of 2026. We are actively improving and looking to grow. We are currently ISO 9001 certified and actively upgrading our Quality Management System (QMS) to achieve ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

We are looking for a meticulous and analytically minded Calibration Technician / Metrologist to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for performing precision calibrations on a wide range of acoustic and vibration measurement instruments, including sound level meters, dosimeters, microphones, piston phones, calibrators and accelerometers. You will play a critical role in ensuring our lab maintains its high standards of quality and compliance.

• Perform automated and manual calibrations on acoustic and vibration instrumentation adhering to strict internal and manufacturer procedures.
• Generate accurate calibration certificates, test reports, and maintain detailed records of all measurements.

• Exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to distinctly communicate with team members.
• Experience/understanding of connectors and cabling.

• Direct experience calibrating acoustic (microphones, sound level meters, etc.) or vibration (accelerometers, shakers, etc.) equipment.
• Familiarity with specific industry-standard brands (Brüel & Kjær, Larson Davis, PCB, G.R.A.S.).
• Experience writing or modifying automated calibration procedures.
• Electrical Engineering experience with the ability to create custom testing cables.
