Description
Calibration Technicians are qualified to perform calibration of mechanical, length, mass, and low complexity electronic Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) utilized within the Marine Corps. Additionally, they are also trained to repair, modify, and make adjustments that are routine in nature to TMDE as needed or required while under direct supervision. Typical duties include the calibration and repair of mechanical, length, mass, and low complexity TMDE while adhering to the associated maintenance processes and metrology documentation established within the appropriate references. Journeyman Calibration Technicians are trained to perform the calibration of increasingly complex TMDE and maintenance support equipment. Typical duties include the calibration, troubleshooting, repair, modification, and adjustment of increasingly complex TMDE, advanced level troubleshooting, and repairs of enterprise support equipment. These technicians may also supervise ground maintenance activities which include the execution of maintenance, maintenance administration, MOS skill training, supporting quality control programs, processing shipments of delicate TMDE to/from depot support, and assisting with the deployment/employment of the calibration facility. These technicians assist with the associated maintenance management and metrology requirements outside of a routine nature. Marines in this MOS may be assigned to a BIC (within their occupational field) that has been coded with one or more DoD cyber workforce framework (DCWF) work role codes. Please reference DoDI 8140.10, DoDM 8140.10, and the MOS roadmap for additional training and certification requirements associated with these work role codes.
