Lead Calibration Technician Supervisor

Jabil•Monument, CO

1d•$77,500 - $139,500

About The Position

This Jabil Lead Metrologist position supports calibration activities in a medical device manufacturing environment, including development, inspection, testing, and production, and serves as a subject matter expert for metrology methodologies. The role develops, validates, and performs calibrations, qualifications, maintenance, modifications, and testing on a wide variety of inspection, measurement, and test equipment (IM&TE) and process-control/manufacturing equipment to establish specifications. The position executes IM&TE scheduling, generates calibration reports, and coordinates calibration activities with production, support departments, vendors, and other Jabil facilities to minimize production disruptions and prevent overdue calibrations. It also builds, services, modifies, and calibrates custom IM&TE from approved drawings using geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) principles. The role maintains equipment records in compliance with FDA/ISO regulations and established procedures, provides technical support and training, and works with quality and engineering to address equipment and calibration matters.

Requirements

A physics or engineering degree in a related field and at least 2 years of experience in an accredited calibration laboratory, or a military technical degree in Metrology (PMEL/TMDE). Related experience and education are evaluated case by case.
Experience with the principles, purpose, and methods of a calibration program.
Extensive experience with ISO 17025 and measurement uncertainty.
Strong knowledge of diverse physical and dimensional measurement instrumentation.
Strong knowledge of applied mathematics and the use of techniques and formulas to solve measurement problems, including basic statistics related to metrology.
Experience with process-control instrumentation and production-machine calibrations, such as time, temperature, and RPM.
Experience conducting GR&R studies and uncertainty calculations.
Experience reading GD&T drawings.
Experience addressing and resolving preventive and corrective actions.
Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to work and communicate effectively in a team environment.
Sound decision-making ability and understanding of potential impacts.
Good teamwork, interpersonal, and communication skills.
Organized and detail-oriented.
Good computer skills, including word processing, spreadsheets, custom programs, and calibration databases.

Nice To Haves

Military technical degree in Metrology (PMEL/TMDE); Phys-D school is a plus.
