Technical Support - Entry Level (0-4 yrs)

TekWissen•Decatur, AL

About The Position

Performs calibration, verification, and functional checks of measurement and test equipment (M&TE), including dimensional, mechanical, and electrical instruments. Ensures all work aligns with internal calibration standards and applicable external requirements. Reviews engineering drawings, specifications, and technical data to determine accuracy requirements. Interprets tolerances and GD&T to select proper calibration methods, equipment, and measurement setups. Conducts routine and moderately complex calibrations using approved procedures, reference standards, and precision tools. Evaluates measurement results, identifies out of tolerance conditions, and documents findings accurately. Maintains complete and compliant calibration records, including results, certifications, measurement uncertainty considerations, and traceability data, within the calibration management system. Performs incoming inspection and verification of new or outsourced calibrated equipment, ensuring certificates meet traceability and accuracy requirements. Provides technical support for equipment discrepancies, measurement issues, and out of tolerance investigations. Works with Quality and Engineering to assist in root cause analysis and implement corrective actions. Applies GD&T knowledge when validating tooling, fixtures, and measurement setups to confirm alignment with engineering intent and capability requirements. Supports improvements to calibration procedures, work instructions, and documentation processes to enhance consistency and accuracy. Provides user guidance on proper care, use, and handling of calibrated equipment to maintain accuracy and reduce risk of damage. Supports internal audits and assessments by supplying calibration data and explaining metrology processes as needed.
