Description
Looking to join a passionate team dedicated to developing and manufacturing life-saving biopharmaceuticals? Avid Bioservices is a leading clinical and commercial biologics CDMO focused on creating innovative solutions to meet the needs of our clients and improve patient outcomes.
Your Role:
The Calibration Technician performs scheduled and unscheduled calibrations across a broad range of instruments, equipment, and standards to support equipment accuracy, traceability, and cGMP compliance. The role maintains calibration schedules, records, standards, vendor documentation, and software data needed to preserve complete device histories and traceability to NIST standards. The position applies established calibration methods and measurement-science principles to pipettes, balances, gauges, chart recorders, and other mechanical, pneumatic, electronic, and electrical equipment. The Calibration Technician supports equipment repairs, investigations, corrective and preventive actions, audits, inspections, and new projects within assigned scope. The role collaborates with Facilities, Quality, internal departments, vendors, and contractors to support compliant and reliable operations.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Perform scheduled and unscheduled calibrations on pipettes, balances, gauges, chart recorders, and other assigned equipment to maintain measurement accuracy and operational readiness.
  • Maintain calibration schedules for equipment and standards to support timely completion and continued compliance.
  • Use calibration software, including Blue Mountain or an equivalent system, to maintain accurate calibration status, records, and equipment histories.
  • Maintain complete calibration and standards records that support device history and traceability to NIST standards.
  • Apply appropriate mechanical, pneumatic, electronic, and electrical calibration standards and test equipment to execute accurate calibration work.
  • Perform repair maintenance on assigned equipment and complete associated calibration activities to restore compliant operation.
  • Prepare calibration instructions and procedures using measurement-science principles, technical analysis, and accuracy and precision requirements to support consistent execution.
  • Provide calibration information and technical support for quality investigations, root-cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, and new projects or procedures.
  • Maintain vendor qualification and service documentation related to the calibration, maintenance, and repair of company standards and equipment.
  • Support audits, inspections, regulatory compliance, safety requirements, and continuous-improvement activities to strengthen calibration-system performance.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor degree or an equivalent combination of relevant education, technical training, and experience.
  • Experience performing instrument or equipment calibration in a cGMP environment.
  • Experience with calibration software such as Blue Mountain or an equivalent system.
  • Demonstrated ability to determine and apply appropriate calibration methods for systems, instruments, and loops within established requirements.
  • Ability to maintain complete and accurate GMP-compliant calibration records.
  • Experience working in an ISO-controlled environment.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Technical degree in instrumentation, electronics, metrology, engineering technology, or a related field.
  • Five or more years of experience as an instrumentation or calibration technician in a cGMP environment.
  • Experience operating or implementing calibration-management systems such as Cal-Man, Blue Mountain, or an equivalent platform.
  • Experience supporting audits, inspections, investigations, root-cause analysis, or corrective and preventive actions.
  • Experience using a broad range of mechanical, pneumatic, electronic, and electrical calibration standards and test equipment.

Position Type/Expected Hours of Work:
This role is a full-time onsite position. Days and hours of work are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise stated by Supervisor. The employee must also have the ability to work overtime and/or weekends when necessary.
Compensation:
We offer competitive compensation packages for this role, including a base salary, performance-based bonuses, and comprehensive benefits such as health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, and paid time off.
The compensation range for this role is $31.92 - $39.90 hourly depending on experience and qualifications. Additionally, we offer opportunities for career growth and development as well as a supportive and inclusive work environment.
Who you are:
  • You have a "bring it on!" team player approach and an unshakable positive attitude, always ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
  • Your written and verbal skills are out of this world, and you communicate with clarity and confidence.
  • You have exceptional multitasking skills and an unparalleled attention to detail that ensure the smooth running of everything.
  • You are a master at building relationships, capable of establishing connections with anyone, be it team members, clients, vendors, or suppliers.

Physical Demands & Work Environment:
In this dynamic role, expect a blend of regular activities like sitting, standing, and walking, with occasional physically engaging tasks such as lifting objects up to 25 pounds. The work environment might expose you to electrical shocks, toxic chemicals, vibrations, or loud noise levels occasionally. However, reasonable accommodations are available to enable individuals with different abilities to perform effectively, ensuring a supportive and adaptable work setting. Your visual acuity, including close, distance, and color vision, will be essential in navigating through the diverse day-to-day demands of this position.
