Job Summary - The Opportunity

Our customers count on their test and measurement equipment to be accurate, because their safety, quality, and compliance depend on it. We're looking for an experienced Calibration Lab Technician to help our Mobile team deliver that accuracy every day.

In this role, you will calibrate, repair, and certify instruments across electrical, dimensional, physical, mechanical, and optical disciplines, working in our lab and supporting onsite work at customer locations.

You will thrive here if you have a solid technical foundation in calibration, enjoy solving measurement problems, and want to keep growing your expertise with a team that takes quality seriously.

Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

• Calibrate and certify with confidence. Assess instrument condition, perform calibrations to established procedures, and verify each instrument meets performance standards before it returns to the customer.

• Troubleshoot and repair. Diagnose instrument failures and perform repairs to return equipment to full working condition and within specification.
• Deliver accurate documentation. Record calibration data and prepare complete, accurate reports and certificates on time.
• Support onsite work. Travel to customer sites to perform calibration work in the field, providing the same quality and service you deliver in the lab.
• Share your expertise. Train less experienced technicians, recommend standards to lab management, and help improve how the lab works.
• Keep the lab running smoothly. Maintain organized work and staging areas, order supplies, and transport equipment safely.

What You Bring

• Required: High school diploma or GED.
• Required: Hands-on metrology experience calibrating electronic, physical, dimensional, or mechanical equipment.
• Required: Knowledge of measurement science, calibration principles, laboratory standards, and related math, physics, and electronics.
