Metrologist

Metrologist- Apply measurement science, mathematics, physics, and engineering principles to develop and/or design and support measurement systems, processes, and procedures for calibration of measurement and test equipment based on analysis of measurement problems, accuracy and precision requirements. Use statistics to analyze calibration methods and procedures.

Evaluate new calibration methods and procedures. Recommend calibration standards. Monitor compliance with calibration laboratory and/or departmental processes. Apply knowledge of measurement science, mathematics, physics, and electronics to calibrate inspection, measurement, and test equipment (IM&TE) in the electrical, dimensional, flow, force, mass, pressure, temperature, torque, and vibration disciplines to ensure measurement accuracy.

Identify and utilize appropriate measurement procedures. Perform corrective actions to address identified measurement problems. Adapt equipment, standards, and procedures to accomplish unique measurements. Maintain calibration standards. Perform laboratory and/or departmental housekeeping. This position is in the Savannah River Site Standards Laboratory.

The laboratory is a NVLAP accredited calibration laboratory supporting the Savannah River Site performing calibrations across dimensional, electrical, flow, force, mass, pressure, temperature, torque, and vibration measurement disciplines.

Key responsibilities
