What You Will Do:
Under guidance and direction of a higher level engineer this position will assist in the development and updating of calibration procedures used by the Service organization to deliver calibration services worldwide.
This includes technical content, adherence to quality and metrology principles and standards (e.g. ISO 17025), and final documentation.
The new procedures will be based on existing ISO or ASTM methods and standards, so the ability to understand, in detail, existing standards and translate them to practical application is critical.
