What this role is
An individual contributor who performs routine calibration tasks under supervision while building core technical skills. At the Support Specialist (S2) level, the role owns a defined queue or customer set, standard issues within known procedures, and drives customer satisfaction for own queue. None.
What this level does
- Independently carry out a full spectrum of routine and semi-routine calibration tasks and equipment adjustments across multiple instrument types, following established procedures
- Own the full calibration cycle for assigned equipment — setup, measurement, adjustment, pass/fail determination and documentation — without close oversight
- Troubleshoot inaccuracies and out-of-tolerance conditions, and perform basic repair and adjustment to bring instruments back into specification
- Perform calibration using manual or automated procedures and recognize when to deviate from the routine sequence to complete a calibration
- Maintain accurate calibration data/history logs and produce completed calibration certificates independently
- Knowledge applied
- Broad procedural knowledge across several instrument types; applies acquired calibration skills to varied semi-routine, multi-step tasks.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Recognizes need for occasional deviation, troubleshoots inaccuracies and performs basic repair to bring instruments into tolerance.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Routine peer interaction; works independently on assigned equipment with instruction only on new task types.
- Typical experience
- 1–2 years; some related calibration experience.
Skills at this level
- Precision Calibration Execution
- — Calibrates instruments and equipment against traceable reference standards per written procedures, adjusting devices to bring measurements within specified tolerance.
- Metrology Fundamentals
- — Applies measurement principles — units, traceability, tolerance and measurement uncertainty — to determine whether an instrument reads correctly and how to correct it.
- Instrument Troubleshooting and Adjustment
- — Diagnoses out-of-tolerance and inaccurate readings, then repairs, adjusts or substitutes standards to restore instruments to specification.
- Equipment Qualification and Validation
- — Executes IQ/OQ/PQ qualification protocols for research and manufacturing equipment and supports validation activities to confirm fitness for use.
- Calibration Records and Certificate Management
- — Maintains calibration data and equipment history logs in the company database and produces accurate calibration reports and certificates.
- Regulatory and Quality Standards Compliance
- — Performs and documents calibration work to meet FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485 and ISO/IEC 17025 requirements, ensuring traceability and good laboratory practices.
- Calibration SOP Development
- — Reviews, updates and creates calibration standard operating procedures to reflect new instruments, tolerances and measurement methods.
- Standard Substitution and Method Adaptation
- — Selects and substitutes reference standards and adapts calibration methods to complete non-routine or unprecedented calibrations where no procedure exists.
- Audit Support and Readiness
- — Prepares calibration documentation and records for internal and regulatory/accreditation audits and evaluates calibration methodologies for compliance.
- Measurement Documentation Discipline
- — Captures and records readings, adjustments and pass/fail results with the accuracy and organization required to defend calibration decisions later.
- Working-Lead Technical Guidance
- — Guides, checks and trains less experienced calibration technicians and coordinates calibration project and schedule execution across the team.
