Test & Evaluation Laboratory Technician 1\2
Plan, check, set up, and calibrate measurement equipment in a laboratory environment calibrating laboratory standards and basic Measurement and Test Equipment (M&TE) and/or process equipment. Use calibration standards to calibrate, adjust, certify, maintain, and repair M&TE/process equipment using approved calibration procedures, process specifications, equipment drawings, and M&TE /process equipment manufacturer's performance specifications. Conduct routine tests, analyze data and document results. Troubleshoot and recommend resolution of basic laboratory and test-related problems.
Associated Duties and Responsibilities: Route M&TE/process equipment between receiving area, customer, and calibration lab. Update equipment status using established systems and complete associated paperwork. Ensure equipment is ready for calibration per metrology processes. Prioritize and perform work according to automated daily report list, hot list, or as assigned by higher grade technician. Perform visual check of M&TE/process equipment for discrepancies and wear. Identify, document, and route non-conforming items in accordance with metrology lab processes. Provide information and clarification to customers on metrology processes. Work with higher graded employees engaged in the calibration and certification of M&TE, and assist in the development of new calibration processes and procedures. Perform computations necessary to analyze measurement test results.
Competencies
General• Adaptability
Tries to understand changes in work-group tasks, situations, and the department as well as the logic or basis for change; occasionally seeks information about changes affecting their individual job. Treats changes and new situations as opportunities for learning or growth; focuses on the beneficial aspects of change; speaks positively about the change to fellow work group members. Quickly modifies behavior to deal effectively with changes in the work environment; readily tries new approaches appropriate for new or changed situations; does not persist with ineffective behaviors.
• Communication
Makes an effort to clarify purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Tries to keep the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. With guidance from others frames messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; tries to use terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Occasionally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; tries to present message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Interprets messages from others and responds appropriately; at times requires guidance from others on how to respond.
• Continuous Improvement
With guidance from others, reviews routine processes to identify gaps between requirements and current outputs within own work group. Generally identifies potential conditions that contribute to gaps or key variances; tries to explore relationships between conditions and effects; distinguishes causes from symptoms and identifies causes. Occasionally generates basic ideas for solutions; analyzes the effect or impact of each solution on own work group; selects appropriate solutions. Generally tests solutions; gathers feedback on effectiveness; reviews impact on baseline measures; modifies solutions as appropriate to ensure effectiveness.
