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. By joining our team, you will receive $500 on your first paycheck minus applicable taxes.

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.

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.
• Course work 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. On the job training provided.
• 0-5 years: Maintenance of mechanical or electronic systems. On the job training provided.
• 0-5 years: Calibration of mechanical, dimensional, thermodynamics, electrical, or frequency test equipment. On the job training provided.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
