How do they match: Calibration Technologists and Technicians

  • Execute or adapt procedures and techniques for calibrating measurement devices, by applying knowledge of measurement science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and electronics, sometimes under the direction of engineering staff. Determine measurement standard suitability for calibrating measurement devices. May perform preventive maintenance on equipment. May perform corrective actions to address identified calibration problems.

  • Calibrate devices by comparing measurements of pressure, temperature, humidity, or other environmental conditions to known standards.
  • Verify part dimensions or clearances using precision measuring instruments to ensure conformance to specifications.

  • Prepare detailed work plans.
  • Repair precision devices or workpieces.
