Associate Quality Technician - Quality Technician - Calibration Technician

Who We Are: The Institute Calibration Laboratory is a section of the Institute Quality Systems department.

We are supporting Institute R&D divisions, service departments, and commercial clients. The mission of the Institute Calibration Laboratory is to provide quality calibration and repair services of measure. Objectives of this Role:

The purpose of this role is to support SWRI measurement and test equipment (M&TE) for all Divisions and departments. This is accomplished through the calibration of pressure, vacuum, flow, dimensional, torque, mass, temperature, humidity, electrical and frequency MT&E. The calibration of SWRI M&TE provides accurate, repeatable, and traceable testing results for SWRI Divisions.

The calibration of SWRI M&TE provides traceability and proper documentation for the various SWRI quality programs to be accredited to international quality standards, such as ISO 17025 and ISO 9001. On the job training will be provided. Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

Calibrate and adjust M&TE in one or more of the following disciplines - pressure, vacuum, flow, dimensional, torque, mass, temperature, humidity, electrical and frequency measurements to ensure compliance with published specifications. Calibrate and perform preventative maintenance on laboratory working standards and equipment. Participate in inter-laboratory comparisons, round robins and proficiency testing.

Collect, compile, summarize, record, and analyze data gathered during calibration to identify out-of-tolerance conditions and perform corrective action. Complete documentation to support laboratory accreditation and traceability as required. Participate in both internal and external audits.

Perform "in-place" calibrations at locations within the Institute campus. Perform laboratory housekeeping and administration. Requirements: Requires a high school diploma or equivalent.

Coursework in metrology, electronics, physics, mathematics, or engineering is preferred. Associates degree preferred but not required. Related military experience highly desired. 0-5 years:

Use of measurement and test equipment. 0-5 years: Maintenance of mechanical or electronic systems. 0-5 years: Calibration of mechanical, dimensional, thermodynamics, electrical, or frequency test equipment. A valid/clear driver's license is required.
