Calibration Engineering Associate Supervisor

Description

Supervises employees engaged in testing, calibrating, and repairing electrical, electronic, mechanical, weight, pressure, vacuum, or other measuring and indicating instruments for conformance to established standards. Develops calibration standards. Has oversight for the planning sequence of testing and calibration procedures for instruments; setting up of standardized laboratory equipment to test and measure accuracy of other instruments that are used to record voltage, heat, magnetic resistance, and other conformity with specifications using precision measuring instruments; and devising formulas to solve problems in measurements and calibrations. Finalizes/approves procedures and practical guide to minimize calibration time and maintain precision accuracy of instruments, measuring devices, and recording equipment. Has oversight for the program for the evaluation of new component measurement equipment/systems as introduced by equipment manufactures. Incumbents at this level 'lead and direct' a group of three or more individuals. There is virtually no authority for personnel actions normally associated with full supervisory status (e.g., salary increases, promotions, performance reviews, disciplinary actions). Coordinates the day-to-day operations of a group of employees. 'Leading and directing' is usually restricted to assigning, monitoring and reviewing progress and accuracy of work, directing efforts and providing technical guidance on more complex issues. Most of the work time is spent performing many of the same duties as subordinate employees. Employees typically analyze, compare and evaluate various courses of action and have the authority to make independent decisions on matters of significance, free from immediate direction, within the scope of their responsibilities. Primary activities and decision making authority are predominantly performed independently affecting business operations to a substantial degree. Under FLSA, this is the exempt job classification for this title. Incumbents in this position must meet the full criteria for exempt status: salary level, salary basis, and duties tests.
