This position plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and readiness of Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) instrumentation systems supporting U.S. Navy surface ships and submarines.
Key Responsibilities: Technical Leadership and Team Management - Lead and supervise a team of five technicians supporting NSWCPD Code 534 calibration operations.
- Direct execution of onboard SISCAL calibration services for Calibration Activity 2 instrumentation associated with HM&E systems.
- Ensure calibration activities comply with Navy calibration requirements and the approved Calibration Requirements List (CRL).
- Coordinate technician workloads, quality assurance activities, and customer support requirements.
Shipboard Calibration Support - Oversee calibration services performed through the Navy's Automated Work Request (AWR) process.
- Support Fleet-wide calibration requirements as tasked by NSWCPD Code 534.
- Provide technical guidance during shipboard calibration events and troubleshooting activities.
- Ensure calibration records and documentation are maintained in accordance with Navy standards.
New Construction and Modernization Support - Assist with initial SISCAL visits for new construction ships.
- Conduct Installed Instrumentation Configuration Reviews (IICR) to verify instrumentation configurations and calibration requirements.
- Support calibration planning and configuration assessments for ship modernization and backfit alteration programs.
Engineering Analysis and System Calibration Procedure Development - Perform detailed SISCAL engineering analyses for new construction and altered surface ships and submarines.
- Evaluate instrumentation configurations, system modifications, and calibration impacts resulting from design changes.
- Assess engineering documentation, platform baselines, and instrument inventories to validate calibration requirements.
- Develop, maintain, and update System Calibration Procedures (SCPs) to ensure alignment with as-configured platform baselines.
- Analyze shipboard system interfaces and calibration dependencies to enhance overall measurement system reliability.
Calibration Process Improvement - Drive continuous improvement initiatives related to calibration processes, procedures, and technical guidance.
- Validate instrument inventories and calibration requirements against current platform configurations.
- Identify opportunities to improve lifecycle supportability and Fleet readiness through enhanced calibration management practices.
Calibration Standards Evaluation and Deployment - Provide technical and logistics leadership for the evaluation, qualification, and deployment of new calibration standards.
- Assess measurement system performance, traceability requirements, calibration uncertainty, and operational suitability of emerging calibration technologies.
- Coordinate implementation strategies and logistics integration activities supporting Fleet metrology programs.
- Validate technical requirements and facilitate adoption of new calibration capabilities across supported platforms.
- Ensure successful integration of new standards into established calibration processes to improve measurement accuracy and operational effectiveness.
Qualifications Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree and nine (9) years or more experience; years of experience accepted in lieu of degree.
