Job Description

A day in this role

It’s Monday morning and you’re scanning the calibration dashboard. Gage blocks due for certification, a CMM awaiting verification, and a production cell requesting an urgent instrument check. You set priorities, coach a technician through a complex uncertainty study, and jump into a cross-functional huddle to align quality, operations, and engineering on a new measurement protocol. By afternoon, you’re reviewing traceability records, refining a calibration work instruction, and prepping objective evidence for an upcoming customer audit. Before you log off, you analyze MSA results, spot a trend, and plan a small kaizen to tighten measurement capability across a critical line.

We invest in continuous improvement and delighting customers, and we empower people to make a measurable impact. Expect integrity, performance, and room to grow.

  • Train personnel on calibration methods, documentation practices, and proper use of measurement equipment.
  • Analyze measurement system performance using statistical tools; drive corrective actions and continuous improvement.
  • Interpret technical drawings and specifications to ensure measurement accuracy and reliability in production and quality control.

Required background
