The Calibration & Metrology Specialist will apply knowledge of measurement science, mathematics, physics, and electronics to calibrate inspection, measurement, and test equipment in the Electrical, Mechanical, Dimensional, DC/Low Frequency, Fluid, Thermodynamics, and Time & Frequency disciplines to ensure measurement accuracy. The Calibration Specialist will identify and utilize appropriate measurement procedures.
Responsibilities
• Calibrate inspection, measurement, and test equipment (IM&TE) in one or more of the following disciplines – Electrical, Mechanical, Dimensional, DC/Low Frequency, Fluid, Thermodynamics, and Time & Frequency, in order to ensure compliance with published specifications
• Maintain primary and/or intrinsic calibration standards
• Maintain secondary and/or working calibration standards
• Work with outside suppliers and OEM’s for calibration and repair of measurement and test equipment including fiber optic test equipment.
• Perform maintenance, troubleshooting and minor repair of precision equipment
• Develop calibration procedures and methods, according to detailed specifications, blueprints, drawings, and other technical requirements
• Collect, compile, measure, summarize, and record data gathered during calibration.
• Analyze measurement data for identifying abnormalities, trends and/or predicting future values
• Identify IM&TE out-of-tolerance conditions and perform corrective action via adjustments, component replacement, correction factors, etc.
• Identify and correct measurement errors, as applicable
• Prepare calibration reports and certificates using Fluke METTEAM and METCAL software
• Inspect and evaluate new calibration standards for proper operation before releasing for calibration use
• Adapt existing calibration equipment, standards, and techniques to accomplish unique measurements tasks for which they are not principally used
• Apply engineering knowledge to the design and development of calibration methods, fixtures, and IM&TE not commercially available
• Perform uncertainty evaluation and analysis for measurement standards and associated measurement processes
• Conduct technical audits of the calibration laboratory to verify traceability of standards and compliance with published standards and guidelines
• Develop software for calibrating IM&TE using Fluke METCAL
• Develop, implement, and maintain the laboratory's quality systems per published standards and guidelines
• Interact with technicians, engineers, management, purchasing, equipment & calibration suppliers
• Other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned
