Sensor Calibration Technician – Temp, RH, Pressure

The Senior Sensor Calibration Technician is responsible for the independent execution, oversight, and mentoring of calibration activities related to temperature, relative humidity (RH), and pressure sensors. The role ensures compliance with regulatory standards, oversees troubleshooting of complex instrumentation issues, and contributes to continuous improvement in calibration procedures and quality systems.

✅ Key Focus Areas:

1. Advanced Calibration Execution & Oversight

   • Perform high-accuracy calibrations of temperature sensors (RTDs, thermocouples), pressure transmitters, and RH probes using traceable calibration standards (NIST/DAkkS).

   • Supervise junior and mid-level technicians in executing daily calibration routines.

   • Validate calibration results and ensure completion of corrective actions.

2. Compliance & Quality Leadership

   • Ensure calibration procedures meet standards such as ISO 17025, GMP, FDA, WHO, and internal QA policies.

   • Lead documentation and audit readiness efforts, including data integrity (ALCOA+) principles.

3. Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis

   • Provide expert-level troubleshooting for calibration failures, signal drift, or out-of-tolerance (OOT) conditions.

   • Conduct or support root cause investigations and CAPA development.

4. System Optimization & Continuous Improvement

   • Recommend improvements to calibration frequency, methodologies, and test equipment.

   • Participate in cross-functional teams to streamline process instrumentation reliability and accuracy.

5. Validation & Mapping Support

   • Lead or support temperature mapping, humidity qualification, and pressure distribution studies during facility or equipment validation.

   • Ensure calibration support for cleanroom qualification, autoclaves, HVAC, and storage areas.

6. Mentoring & Training

   • Train junior technicians on calibration practices, regulatory requirements, and safe work procedures.

   • Provide technical guidance and hands-on training on advanced calibration tools and software (e.g., Beamex, Fluke MET/TEAM, HART communicators).

Qualifications:

• Education:

  • Diploma or Bachelor's in Instrumentation, Electrical, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering.

• Experience:

  • 6–10 years of hands-on calibration experience in a regulated industry (pharma, life sciences, food processing, aerospace, or healthcare).

• Skills & Competencies:

  • Strong command of calibration practices for Temp/RH/Pressure sensors.

  • Proficient in using precision calibration instruments and software tools.

  • Excellent understanding of compliance documentation and audit standards.

  • Leadership and mentoring abilities.
