• Experience working in a regulated manufacturing environment, particularly within the medical-device industry.

Employee Value Proposition

• Gain hands-on experience supporting calibration activities in a highly regulated medical-device manufacturing environment.
• Work directly with electrical test and measurement technologies, including equipment from Fluke and Keithley.
• Develop additional expertise in electrical metrology, measurement traceability, calibration documentation, and quality systems.
• Receive hands-on training from experienced team members before transitioning into independent calibration responsibilities
