Job Description

Ready to turn your technical skills into a career with impact? At Quantus, we’re looking for a Pipette Calibration Technician to join our Frederick, MD team. If you’ve got experience with calibration, maintenance, or troubleshooting—or a strong mechanical aptitude and a desire to learn—this is your shot to break into the booming Life Sciences industry.

You’ll work onsite at top biotech and pharma facilities, calibrating pipettes and volumetric devices with NIST-traceable precision. With hands-on training and cutting-edge tools, you’ll ensure the accuracy that powers groundbreaking research. This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to grow, solve problems, and make a difference in a field that matters.

Job Responsibilities

This position requires the Pipette Calibration Technician to provide onsite services, such as:

• Calibrate pipettes, bottle-top dispensers, and other volumetric devices to NIST-traceable standards.
• Assist with calibrating general lab equipment like balances, freezers, and incubators alongside our expert team.
• Use tools like gravimetric testers and software to collect and report precise measurement data (we’ll train you!).
• Follow Good Documentation Practices (GDP) to keep records sharp and compliant.
• Work in high-tech lab settings, sticking to safety protocols and industry best practices.
• Build trust with clients by explaining your work and delivering top-notch service.
• Get certified in a specialized trade while earning a competitive salary.

Requirements

• 1-4 years of experience in calibration, maintenance, or a related technical role OR equivalent education (e.g., trade school or associate’s degree in a STEM field).
• Mechanically inclined with a knack for detail—pipette experience is a plus, but not required!
• Basic computer skills (Microsoft Office, email)—we’ll teach you our custom software.
• Able to lift 50 lbs and stay active (bending, kneeling, standing) in lab environments.
• Valid driver’s license for local travel (company vehicle provided).
• Must pass a drug test and background check.
• Bonus: Familiarity with GMP, GDP, or lab settings (not a must—we’ll get you there).

Why Join Quantus? At Quantus, we transform your technical talents into a springboard for a Life Sciences career. You’ll get best-in-class training, mentorship, and the latest tools to succeed, all while working on projects that shape the future of science.
