Calibration Technologists and Technicians
Hands-on shipboard calibration, system troubleshooting, and knowledge of Navy metrology and test-equipment programs transfer directly to civilian calibration testing.
How to prepare: Use your documented Job Qualification Requirement tasks to build a calibration work summary identifying the devices, measurement types, and standards you have used, then compare it with civilian calibration openings.
What the civilian work involves
- Analyze test data to identify defects or determine calibration requirements.
- Calibrate devices by comparing measurements of pressure, temperature, humidity, or other environmental conditions to known standards.
- Conduct calibration tests to determine performance or reliability of mechanical, structural, or electromechanical equipment.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
- Microsoft Excel
