Sr. Calibration Tech Lead

The Sr. Calibration Tech Lead is a hands-on technical and operational lead for the calibration function at PacSci EMCs Chandler Arizona site. This role combines advanced calibration expertise with day-to-day workflow leadership prioritization mentorship and cross-functional coordination. Approximately 70% of the role is hands-on calibration work including work performed directly in production environments on equipment that cannot be sent off-site. The position serves as a primary focal point for calibration priorities backlog reduction technical problem solving audit support and communication with internal stakeholders. This is a technical lead role without direct people-management responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and perform advanced hands-on calibration activities across a broad range of commercial and internally developed equipment with demonstrated capability across multiple electrical physical/mechanical and dimensional calibration disciplines. Equipment may include DC/AC voltage and current resistance capacitance force temperature mass torque and dimensional measurement systems.

Spend approximately 70% of the role performing hands-on calibration activities including work directly within production environments to calibrate equipment that cannot be removed or sent to external calibration providers.

Serve as the technical and operational lead for the calibration team without direct people-management responsibility providing day-to-day direction work prioritization technical guidance mentorship and support to calibration technicians.

Own day-to-day calibration workflow prioritization and scheduling. Develop and execute strategies with the calibration team to reduce equipment and tooling backlog while maintaining equipment availability and supporting production priorities.

Act as a primary operational focal point for the calibration function communicating priorities status constraints performance indicators and improvement opportunities to leadership production engineering quality and other stakeholders.

Promote accountability and ownership within the calibration team while supporting technician training capability development and continuous improvement.

Document calibration verification and maintenance activities to ensure compliance with internal quality requirements applicable standards and cross-functional communication needs.

Serve as a metrology subject matter expert during internal and external audits engineering reviews and quality inspections. Support investigations by reproducing or validating measurement setups when results are questioned.

Perform and coordinate on-site calibration activities for equipment maintained internally while managing equipment sent to external calibration and repair providers. Review returned equipment and calibration documentation to verify services meet purchase-order and internal quality requirements before equipment is returned to service.

Maintain calibration standards and laboratory equipment in fully serviceable condition ensuring preventive corrective and functional maintenance is completed as required.

Collaborate with engineering quality operations and production teams to develop update and improve calibration procedures measurement practices accuracy repeatability and usability.

Communicate calibration requirements constraints equipment status and technical issues clearly to production and cross-functional stakeholders helping teams understand priorities and the impact of calibration requirements on operations.

Required Qualifications

Associates degree in a technical field or completion of military/commercial calibration or biomedical training plus 3 years of calibration/biomedical technician experience.

In lieu of a degree 7 years of hands-on on-bench calibration experience is acceptable.

Demonstrated hands-on calibration capability across multiple electrical physical/mechanical and/or dimensional measurement disciplines.

Demonstrated ability to independently prioritize competing calibration requirements manage schedules and backlogs and communicate technical requirements and constraints clearly to production and cross-functional stakeholders.

Demonstrated leadership capability with the ability to guide influence mentor and create accountability without relying on formal supervisory authority. Prior formal people-management experience is not required.

Ability to lift 30 lbs unassisted and perform physical activities such as walking crouching bending and reaching throughout the workday.
