2874

Description

Metrology Technicians are qualified to calibrate the highest precision TMDE utilized within the Marine Corps. These assets may include precision electronic, mechanical, physical, optical, infrared, or laser TMDE, automated test sets, automotive test stands, and laboratory standards through use of higher order measurement standards required by ANSI/ NCSL Z-540-1 (1994). Tasks include providing training to 2871 Marines, safeguarding and reporting of calibration results, maintaining accurate traceability to a higher echelon laboratory, and ensuring compliance with the USMC metrology calibration quality assurance program, MCOs, and other associated DoD Directives. Duties may also include technical evaluation of calibration procedures, monitoring the capabilities of the calibration facility, submission of procedure change requests, and any requested user training in the proper care and operation of TMDE. Metrology Technicians execute and manage the quality assurance program at the laboratory level, communicating directly to the MARCORSYSCOM Quality Assurance Program Manager (QPM) and Laboratory Manager as applicable, implementing best practices that meet the requirements of the Marine Corps Metrology Quality Assurance Program, conducting testing and certification of completion for all MOS 2871s in the managed on the job training continuum, identify collateral duty inspectors, monitor the working environment and output of the laboratory, documenting the results of all quality activities, coordinating and/or conducting annual internal audits of the laboratory, and perform/review all Quality Verification Inspections. In addition, execute the responsibilities of the technical manager which include making technical decisions in the measurement areas based on a thorough understanding of measurement methodologies, validate all technical aspects of laboratory operations, reviewing all calibration problem reports (CPRs) for technical accuracy and completeness before submission, evaluating environmental conditions to determine if calibration results will be impacted, ensure that all equipment used in conjunction with calibrations meet the requirements of the references, evaluate the impact of defective calibration standards on previous calibration results, and make recommendations to the calibration chief and/or laboratory manager for all things related to technical aspects of laboratory operations. 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.
