- Maintain detailed, accurate documentation of all calibration processes, results, findings, and corrective actions, ensuring full transparency and audit readiness.
- Conduct scheduled preventive maintenance and thorough inspection of measurement equipment, identifying deficiencies and performing or recommending necessary corrective actions.
- Collaborate directly with engineering staff to troubleshoot complex calibration issues, support process improvements, and contribute to technical decision-making.
- Assemble, configure, and verify measurement and testing equipment in accordance with established standards and client specifications.
- Maintain meticulous records of all calibration activities, findings, and solutions to support traceability, compliance reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Required Qualifications
- Education: Associate’s degree or higher in Electronics Technology, Instrumentation, Applied Physics, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline. Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in lieu of formal education.
- Experience: Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in calibration, metrology, testing, or a closely related technical field.
- Core Technical Skills: Demonstrated proficiency in measurement science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and electronics as applied to calibration work.
- Practical Competencies: Proven experience in preventive maintenance, equipment inspection, corrective action procedures, and equipment assembly within a calibration or metrology environment.
- Certifications: Valid certification in metrology or calibration from a recognized body such as ASQ (American Society for Quality), NIST-traceable programs, or an equivalent industry-recognized standard.
- Documentation: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a strong track record of accurately documenting technical processes, calibration results, and compliance records.
- Work Style: Demonstrated dependability, cautiousness when handling sensitive instruments, and the ability to work both independently and in close collaboration with engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience delivering remote calibration services or providing technical support across multiple client locations simultaneously.
- Familiarity with a broad range of calibration standards and regulatory frameworks including ISO/IEC 17025, MIL-STD-45662, or ANSI/NCSL Z540.
- Experience working within regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices where measurement accuracy carries compliance and safety implications.
- Advanced certifications such as ASQ Certified Calibration Technician (CCT) or equivalent specialist designation.
Benefits and Perks
- Competitive Contract Pay: $55 – $104 per hour based on experience, qualifications, and scope of engagement — one of the strongest pay bands available for remote calibration professionals.
- 100% Remote Work: Full location flexibility with no commute, no office mandate, and no relocation requirements. Work from your preferred environment.
- Flexible Scheduling: Full-time contract structure with options for both full-time and part-time engagement depending on project needs and mutual availability.
- Professional Development: Access to continuing education resources, calibration certification support, and exposure to diverse industry environments that expand your technical expertise.
- Autonomy and Ownership: A working model built on trust — you are evaluated on results and accuracy, not hours logged at a desk.
- Meaningful, High-Impact Work: Your calibration work directly supports quality, safety, and compliance across industries where precision is non-negotiable.
