Calibration Technician

ABOUT THE JOB

We are investing in a calibration professional to lead our internal calibration program. This role will be on the Quality Engineering team and partner across the product development organization, production organization, and field operations organizations. This role will be dynamic and full of new engagement, challenges, and opportunities to bring the core elements of success for a calibration program -- managing tracking software, schedules, accuracy and precision of equipment, equipment history, traceability methods, accreditation, and reporting. As Anduril grows, the role and support around calibration will grow too. If you are someone who has passion for the quality of their work, is hands-on with engineering, production, and vendors, and accountable for calibration results, then this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage the calibration database, ensuring it is updated appropriately, including location and ownership of tools. Communicate calibration recalls to tool owners and interested parties.
• Coordinate equipment rotations to ensure users and production are not starved of resources.
• Manage the physical recall of devices requiring calibration.
• Build and maintain infrastructure for equipment flagged for calibration (e.g., drop locations for assets, standardized intake information, instructions for 3rd party vendors).
• Create processes and procedures documenting the standard operations of the calibration program, defining roles and responsibilities for involved and interested parties.
• Coordinate calibration activities with vendors, including requesting quotes for services, creating purchase orders, and scheduling on-site calibration.
• Support the creation, upkeep, and communication of calibration procedures and documented information. Manage training of internal calibration stakeholders.
• Manage the risk assessment process for product affected by tools found out of calibration. Ensure certificates of calibration are available when required by testing standards.
• Ensure calibrated tooling meets required calibration standards when required by regulations, customer requirements, or otherwise.
