• Standards & Procedures: * Develop and maintain metrology-related procedures, work instructions, and best practices in accordance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 17025, ISO 9001). * Ensure compliance with national and international metrology standards.
• New Technology & Continuous Improvement: * Stay abreast of new metrology technologies, software, and industry trends. * Identify and implement opportunities for continuous improvement in measurement processes and equipment utilization.
• Technical Support & Training: * Provide expert technical support and guidance to manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams on measurement-related issues. * Develop and deliver training programs on metrology principles, equipment operation, and MSA.

IMT Coordinator:

• Calibration Program Management: * Establish, implement, and maintain a comprehensive calibration program for all IMT equipment, both internal and external. * Develop and manage calibration schedules, ensuring timely and accurate calibration of all instruments. * Maintain detailed calibration records, certificates, and histories in a structured database or system.
• Equipment Management: * Oversee the inventory, procurement, and disposition of all IMT equipment. * Coordinate with suppliers for the purchase, repair, and servicing of equipment. * Ensure proper storage, handling, and environmental control for sensitive IMT equipment.
• Non-Conforming Equipment: * Identify, quarantine, and manage non-conforming or out-of-calibration IMT equipment. * Initiate investigations into the impact of non-conforming equipment on product quality and implement necessary actions.
• System & Documentation: * Maintain and update the IMT equipment tracking system/database (e.g., CMMS, specialized calibration software). * Generate reports on calibration status, equipment utilization, and upcoming calibration requirements. * Ensure all IMT documentation is accurate, complete, and readily accessible for audits.
• Audits & Compliance: * Prepare for and participate in internal and external audits related to IMT equipment and calibration processes. * Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA, Aerospace, Automotive) and internal quality standards.
• Budget Management: * Assist in the development and management of the IMT equipment and calibration budget.
