Ahh, it looks like it hasn't hit the external site yet... My apologies; it looks like I was asked to post this too soon. It WILL be posted very soon.

Looking at the one job posting that is up, it looks like it'll be hard fill. At least for me. I have about 9 years of cal experience and you guys are asking for 13 I believe. And an ASQ certification. That cert has always been a problem for me because I don't like paying out of pocket to prove that I know what I'm doing. Maybe when I've been around a little longer, I'll give you guys a look up but I think that I'll pass for now.

I got the CCT, it has no bearing on what we actually do for a living. At least it didn't when I passed the test. If a company desires that certification, they should pay for the training and the test AFTER you're hired.
IMHO it is a waste of time & money, if what you are (or want) is an actual calibrator

In the olden days, when Sypris Test & Measurement existed, I used to do an onsite once a year to do UNLVs equipment. The Howard Hughes engineering school or something like that. Scale model of the Spruce Goose among other displays.
Good times, good times...

Apply anyway. We have some other positions that should be coming up and we can direct you to apply for those when available, if you aren't interviewed outright.
