Frequently asked questions
What does a Calibration Technician do on a daily basis?
Calibration Technicians maintain and verify the accuracy of precision instruments and measuring equipment. Day-to-day work includes testing equipment against known standards, adjusting instruments to specification, documenting calibration results, and troubleshooting devices that fail performance checks. They work in labs, manufacturing floors, or service centers, often following strict protocols to ensure compliance with industry standards like ISO 17025 or NIST requirements. The role requires both hands-on technical work and meticulous documentation.
What certifications or qualifications should I look for when hiring?
Strong candidates typically have a high school diploma or equivalent, with some holding associate degrees in electronics, metrology, or experience with specific instruments relevant to your industry—such as pressure gauges, dimensional measuring tools, electrical test equipment, or flow meters—is highly valuable. Prior experience in a regulated environment (aerospace, medical devices, pharmaceutical) is a significant advantage.
