Title: Looking for job opportunity
Post by: ericp.lau on 06-29-2013 -- 23:04:30
Hello forum,

I held a 4-year degree in EE but I would like to do on-site calibration. I love to travel here and there, company to company, learning new technology, as well as gain experience. I am currently working for a semiconductor company which working with a lots of RF equipment, such as: signal generator, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, etc. I found most of the Calibration Tech jobs required to have a degree in Metrology or experienced with PMEL. Do you know where can I get training on PMEL? Any suggestion or advice? Thanks.

Best way is enlist in military for it...
There are several communuity colleges with programs in metrology but from what I heard most of them are more aimed atgetting military trained techs civilian papers...
