• Ensure the calibration of both in-house and outsourced equipment to meet internal and external standards.
• Develop, implement, and update calibration procedures for manufacturing systems to ensure compliance with industry standards such as ISO 9001, AS9100, AS13100, ISO/IEC 17025 and aerospace-specific regulations.
• Conduct uncertainty analysis to assess the accuracy of measurement systems and minimize potential errors in the calibration process.
• Use statistical methods to quantify uncertainty and ensure the reliability of instruments and measurement systems.
• Work with production and quality control teams to incorporate uncertainty analysis into calibration protocols.
• Review and analyze instrument variation reports to ensure the consistency and accuracy of calibration results.
• Identify performance deviations and recommend corrective actions to prevent production delays or quality issues.
• Maintain records of instrument performance trends and deviations, ensuring traceability for audits.
• Evaluate risks associated with calibration discrepancies that could affect safety, compliance, or product quality.
• Implement preventive actions, including adjusting calibration intervals and upgrading equipment when necessary.
• Oversee the calibration and maintenance of all measurement equipment used in the manufacturing process.
• Ensure all measurement and control systems are calibrated on schedule to avoid production delays.
• Monitor equipment performance and compliance with calibration standards.
• Maintain accurate and detailed records of calibration activities, certificates, and reports to ensure compliance with industry standards.
• Collaborate with Quality Assurance (QA) teams to ensure all documentation is in place for audits and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure calibration activities meet the requirements of external audits and regulatory agencies.
• Continuously assess and improve calibration processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, and reliability.
• Explore new calibration technologies and methods to enhance manufacturing quality.
• Troubleshoot and resolve calibration discrepancies, performing root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Train production and engineering teams on calibration procedures and best practices to ensure accurate measurements.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Additional certification in calibration is required.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in calibration engineering, preferably within aerospace manufacturing.
• Experience with precision measurement tools, calibration methods, and aerospace-specific regulations (ISO 9001, AS9100, AS13100, ISO/IEC 17025).
• Proficiency in performing uncertainty analysis and reviewing instrument variation reports.
• Strong knowledge of calibration standards and methods specific to aerospace manufacturing.
• Expertise in operating and calibrating measurement tools such as CMMs, laser trackers, and surface profilometers.
