The Quality Assurance organization provides a variety of services aimed at helping its internal customers, S&C leaders and team members, deliver superior quality to our customers. Quality planning, inspection, audit, quality information, quality improvement consulting, and quality communications are examples of the kind of services that the organization provides.

The calibration laboratory provides the highest accurate measurements within the electrical laboratory, which meet the National Conference of Standards Laboratories (NCSL) and International Standards of Organization (ISO-9001:2015 and ISO-17025).

In this job you will be responsible for calibration mechanical measuring equipment and managing the calibration process, which includes around 12,000 instruments.
