Principal Metrology Engineer

Provide technical leadership for the Laboratory (with the Lead Metrologist) Support calibration systems and activities involving the traceable and systematic test and measurement characteristics such as length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, luminous intensity, and derived units of physical or chemical measure Identify the magnitude of error sources contributing to uncertainty of results to determine reliability of measurement process in quantitative terms Develop calibration methods and techniques based on principles of measurement science, technical analysis of measurement problems, and accuracy and precision requirements Develop and evaluate metrology calibration systems that measure characteristics of objects, substances, or phenomena, such as length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, luminous intensity, and derived units of physical or chemical measure Standards & Methods Develop calibration standards, systems and procedures Inspect and evaluate new calibration standards for proper operation before releasing to calibration laboratory Recommend standards for use in calibration applications, including Test Equipment Justification Design and document measurement reference material for laboratory use Perform uncertainty evaluation and analysis for measurement standards and associated measurement Perform calibrations as required (We have a team of Calibration Technicians who perform routine calibrations.) Evaluate and recommend M&TE for use in measurement applications Evaluate suppliers' products and work with them to resolve product issues and make improvements Support the workflow as needed (exceptions, extensions, etc.) Bachelor of Science degree or higher in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) discipline and a minimum of 5 years of relevant engineering experience OR a Master's degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant engineering experience Experience in Mechanical and Electrical Metrology and Calibration with the ability to assist technicians in the performance of calibration Experience designing and documenting measurement reference material and uncertainty for laboratory use; problem solving for uncertainty Experience training technicians and engineers in calibration methodologies and measurement principles Experience in solving technical problems Candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret Clearance.
