    Overview of this Position:

    The Metrology Manager will oversee and lead the metrology department, ensuring the development, implementation, and execution of essential policies, procedures, and disciplines to effectively run the internal metrology lab. Responsibilities include leading and supporting all metrology tasks, such as calibrating, updating, repairing, optimizing, and installing existing and new instrumentation. Collaboration with maintenance, engineering, and operations to drive successful instrumentation and calibration projects is critical to this role. Additionally, expertise will be applied in measurement science, mathematics, and electronics to calibrate inspection, measurement, and test equipment. Managing external metrology partnerships will be a critical aspect of this role. This involves conducting performance audits to maintain high standards in calibrations that are not performed internally. This role will also ensure compliance with all relevant GRAM, state, and federal regulations/policies. As a Metrology Manager, the person will work within established methods and procedures while exercising independent judgment to adapt and apply appropriate guidelines to specific situations.

    Non-Negotiable Requirements:
    • Requires Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of related experience. Alternatively, Associate of Applied Science (AAS) with 10+ years of experience. Military calibration training/experience acceptable.
    • Leadership experience is crucial with at least 3+ years in management roles overseeing staff.
    • In-depth understanding of metrology principles, measurement systems, and calibration processes.
    • Must have proficient computer skills in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.
    Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to):
    • Perform, lead, oversee or direct the operation of the metrology lab along with its staff and contractors.
    • Policies & Procedures: Develop, implement, and ensure adherence to the standards, procedures, and forms necessary to run a fully compliant metrology program and lab.
    • Calibration: Ensure that measurement instruments and equipment are accurately calibrated according to established standards. This involves periodic checks, adjustments, and documentation.
    • Instrument Maintenance: Ensure that instruments are regularly inspected and maintained for optimal working condition. This includes cleaning, lubricating, and replacing parts as needed.
    • Measurement Uncertainty Analysis: Assess and quantify the uncertainty associated with measurement results. Understanding factors that contribute to measurement errors and variability is crucial.
    • Validation and Verification: Ensure that equipment is validated to new measurement methods or equipment to ensure they meet accuracy requirements. Verification involves confirming that existing instruments perform as expected.
    • CMMS/Metrology Software Management: Oversee calibration-related tables, data, and forms in the CMMS software used for data collection, analysis, and reporting. Ensure compliance with relevant standards.
    • Traceability: Establish and maintain traceability of measurement results to national or international standards to ensure confidence in the accuracy of measurements.
    • Environmental Conditions Control: Ensure monitoring and control for environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, and vibration) that can impact measurement accuracy. Work with Facilities & Engineering to ensure that stable conditions are provided.
    • Calibration Records Management: Keep detailed records of calibration activities, including calibration certificates, due dates, and historical data.
    • Training and Education: Provide training to staff on proper measurement techniques, instrument handling, and adherence to metrology procedures.
    • Safety: Ensure compliance with applicable FDA (GMP), OSHA, MIOSHA and GRAM regulations, policies, procedures, and guidelines. Advise, consult, or implement safety programs and strategies in conjunction with site safety committee when applicable.
    • Lab Instrument Support: Conduct calibration, qualification, and support of laboratory instrumentation such as HPLCs, GCs, UV spectrophotometers, and other related analytical and process equipment.
