What are calibrators and what do they do?

Calibrators are professionals who test, adjust, and maintain measuring instruments and equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability. They work with devices such as gauges, meters, and sensors, comparing readings to established standards and making necessary corrections. Calibrators play a crucial role in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and engineering, where precise measurements are essential for quality control and safety.

What is the difference between Calibrator vs Instrument Technician?

AspectCalibratorInstrument Technician
CertificationsCalibration certifications, such as ISO or ANSI standardsTechnical certifications, often including calibration and maintenance
Work EnvironmentLaboratories, manufacturing plants, field calibration sitesFactories, industrial plants, maintenance facilities
Employer & Industry UsageManufacturing, aerospace, energy sectorsProcess industries, utilities, manufacturing

Calibrators focus primarily on testing and adjusting measurement instruments to ensure accuracy, often working in labs or on-site. Instrument Technicians perform broader maintenance, repair, and installation of instruments, including calibration tasks. While both roles require calibration knowledge, calibrators specialize in precision testing, whereas instrument technicians handle comprehensive instrument management.

What are some common challenges faced by Calibrators in maintaining equipment accuracy across different devices?

Calibrators often encounter challenges such as working with a wide variety of instruments that each have unique calibration requirements and tolerances. They must stay updated on manufacturer specifications, industry standards, and regulatory guidelines to ensure all equipment meets strict accuracy criteria. Additionally, troubleshooting malfunctioning devices and documenting calibration results accurately can be demanding, especially in environments with tight deadlines or high compliance standards. Effective communication with technicians and engineers is also essential to coordinate schedules and minimize equipment downtime.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Calibrator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Calibrator, you need a solid understanding of measurement principles, attention to detail, and typically a background in electronics, metrology, or a related technical field. Familiarity with calibration equipment, standards, and software systems like Fluke MET/CAL or LabVIEW is commonly required, along with relevant certifications such as ASQ Certified Calibration Technician. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and effective communication set outstanding calibrators apart. These skills ensure accuracy, compliance with industry standards, and reliable operation of calibrated instruments essential for quality assurance.

Job description

Ideal Candidate
Calibration Laboratory LLC is seeking talented, hard working individuals with a passion to learn a new career. At Cal Lab, we want to grow our technicians into more technically advanced Metrologists. Entry level candidates will begin as Associate Calibration Technicians and will be given opportunity and encouragement to advance up the technician ranks to Calibration Technician I and beyond.
The ideal candidate has the passion and drive to learn something new every day and apply this knowledge to calibrate instruments in our established lab or on-site at client's facilities. This is not a career where every day is the same. There are numerous opportunities to expand your knowledge and technical skill set with hands-on experience and online training materials.
Entry Level
We encourage candidates who are willing to learn and who are looking for a long-term career to apply. We have an in-depth, self-paced training program to establish a baseline skill set that will integrate a new technician into a productive career in Metrology. Advancement to at least Level 1 technician is required within the first year of employment.
Application Process
  • Submit a resume and a cover letter. The cover letter should tell us about you outside of the details on your resume. We want to get to know you as a person outside of just your previous employment. Applications without a cover letter, a resume submitted as a cover letter or AI generated responses to application questions will automatically be rejected, regardless of qualifications.
  • A review of your application (question responses, resume & cover letter) will be performed by our management team to determine if you are a good candidate for this position.
  • If we think you you are a good candidate, a link to our entrance exam will be emailed to you. This exam must be taken within 3 days of receiving the link to be considered for employment.
  • Provided the exam is passed, we will set up an interview with you so we can get to know you personally as well as you can get to know us. We want to make sure this is also a career and a company you would like to work with just as much as we would like to work with you.

  • Maintain exemplary laboratory cleanliness through daily spot-cleaning and weekly deep cleaning of lab spaces and work stations
  • Willingness to safely operate company vehicles, including compact SUVs, minivans, and cargo vans
  • Being able to make improvements based on routine performance, educational and production metrics

  • Ability to communicate orally with customers, manufacturers, management, and coworkers is crucial. Regular use of phone and email for communication is essential. Hearing and vision correctable to within normal ranges is essential for holding normal conversations, receiving ordinary information, and preparing or inspecting documents and calibration activities.
  • Using a computer or calibrating while sitting or standing for extended periods (up to 50% of the time) is common. Must be able to move about the laboratory and customer facilities as required.
  • Some calibration procedures and customer facilities may expose to you heat, cold, high noise-levels, chemicals, high pressures, high voltages, and/or heavy machinery. The willingness to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, which may include steel-toe boots, earplugs, splash aprons, safety glasses, respirators, face masks, etc., is required.
