Metrology Technician III - Electrical

Job Description:
Summary:

Independently determine and perform operations required to calibrate and certify electronic and physical/dimensional IM&TE, maintaining traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), US Department of Commerce, or by reference to fundamental constants of nature. These calibrations may include, but are not limited to, the following disciplines: electrical, dimensional, temperature, mass, force, and torque in both a field and laboratory environment.  Performs calibrations on and maintains laboratory standards. A Metrology Technician III may be tasked to fulfill the role as a Senior Technician with additional duties to monitor, analyze, and assist the Metrologists, and other technical personnel, with production, standards, and technical direction.

Major Duties:

•Assess and utilize calibration methods and techniques based on principles of measurement science, technical analysis of measurement problems, and accuracy and precision requirements, analyzes magnitude of error sources contributing to uncertainty of results and/or test accuracy ratios to determine reliability of measurement process in quantitative terms.
•Recommend substitution of standards or measuring equipment if required, diagnose and repair malfunctions in complex IM&TE using theories of operation, block diagrams, schematics, logic trees, and software diagnostics to the component level.
•Provide training to other technicians on metrology principles, resolving technical problems, and complicated electronic theory.
•Inspects IM&TE for preventive maintenance, cleanliness, and safety requirements; analyzes and interprets results of measurements and calibrations using mathematical formulas and authenticate calibration certificates for measurements, calibrations, and calibration correction charts.
•Other duties include creating and/or revising calibration procedures, selecting suitable substitution of standard test and measurement equipment, and entering documentation into computer systems.
•Assists in development of new technical capabilities and measurement processes.
•This individual shall perform any and all duties assigned by the Laboratory Manager, within their scope of knowledge, in the performance of the contract.
Education/Experience:

This position requires an Associate degree in Metrology or Electronics, or equivalent technical training (military or civilian) and 8-10 years minimum experience in metrology or a related field, or any equivalent combination of education/experience.

Specific Discipline Experience Required

For our current needs, experience in the disciplines of Radio Frequency (RF) and or Electrical Standards is preferred. Salary will be commensurate with direct experience, education, and discipline capability. Salary range for this posting is estimated to be $28.00+ per hour.

The Metrology and Calibration Laboratory (MCL) at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) provides NASA/MSFC programs, projects, and infrastructure with advanced metrology and calibration support, assuring NASA maintains the most technically advanced and properly applied measurement concepts and processes.

The MSFC mission involves science and engineering measurements in many specialized and highly complex disciplines. In many of these supported measurements, the MCL retains the only capability in NASA, and in a few, the only capability in the nation. To meet these needs, our team must maintain technical excellence across a wide range of disciplines, be customer responsive, and willing to meet new challenges that arise daily.

Not sure what the deal is here. I have over twenty years experience in an A.F. type II lab. Applied to two MSFC positions, reached out to the folks who posted them and they will not respond.

[Conman]

I've applied for three and no responses. 24 years Metrology and several years in a Type II.

    It's been my experience that a job searcher from this board or any other web sites will not be answered. I'm not sure why but keep trying. One day it may happen. I also have over 30 years PMEL and 10 of those years were at the Primary Standards Lab. I'm guessing even that isn't good enough to secure a job.
