The Calibration Engineer joins the Quality Engineering team to drive improvements for the internal calibration program. This role involves managing the accuracy and precision of equipment, tracking software, and traceability methods while developing an in-house calibration roadmap to optimize processes involving both internal capabilities and external vendors. The engineer will define project milestones, manage databases, oversee equipment rotations, and ensure compliance with quality management systems. Key responsibilities include creating training materials, conducting spot audits, and preparing for site readiness reviews. Candidates should possess experience with automated calibration tools, 3rd party vendor management, and manufacturing facility systems. Required technical knowledge includes AS9100 and AS6500 standards. The role requires proficiency in metrology and the use of precise measurement tools like calipers, micrometers, and profilometers to solve complex quality assurance challenges within a production environment.

What you'll do

  • Analyze and drive improvements in core calibration activities for all calibrated devices.
  • Develop and implement an In-House Calibration Roadmap to optimize internal and external vendor processes.
  • Manage the calibration database including tool locations, ownership, and tracking information.
  • Optimize equipment rotation schedules to ensure production and users are not hindered by availability.
  • Improve infrastructure for flagged equipment, including standardized intake information and third-party instructions.
  • Create and maintain calibration procedures, training materials, and performance management metrics.
  • Conduct spot audits and manage internal stakeholder training to ensure compliance with procedures.
  • Support global site readiness reviews for both internal and external auditing requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Associate's degree in Science, Engineering, or a similar technical field.
