Generate and maintain Requirement Documents, Calibration Procedures, and Test System Specifications to ensure alignment between product and test design intent
Participate in supplier design reviews and qualification of external test and calibration equipment
Develop and validate test procedures, calibration methods, and verification plans for measurement systems and mechanical fixtures
Ensure measurement system analysis (MSA), gage R&R, and traceability to NIST or equivalent standards in all calibration processes
Conduct statistical evaluations of test data to assess system reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility
Analyze performance results and implement design improvements to maintain precision, accuracy, and robustness under production conditions
Collaborate with electronics and software engineers to define mechanical interfaces for automated test systems and integrate sensors into data acquisition platforms
Diagnose and resolve issues with jigs, fixtures, or test systems, including alignment errors, sensor drift, and calibration failures
Develop preventive maintenance and recalibration schedules for all test and measurement equipment
Support production and test engineering teams by providing quick-turn mechanical solutions to test station downtime or measurement deviations
Create comprehensive documentation for design specifications, calibration procedures, maintenance manuals, and traceability records
Maintain revision-controlled records for test system configurations, calibration certificates, and design changes
Ensure compliance with internal quality management systems and industry standards (ISO 17025, ISO 9001, or equivalent)
Identify opportunities to enhance test accuracy, throughput, and system robustness through mechanical and process improvements
Implement design-for-calibration and design-for-test principles in future product and fixture designs
Stay current with advances in precision mechanics, metrology instrumentation, and automated test system design
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, lean design efforts, and equipment standardization programs
