The Calibration Technician IV, working with limited supervision, calibrates, troubleshoots, and continuously improves the instrumentation and control systems critical to manufacturing operations in a cGMP facility. As a skilled technician, the Technician IV self-directs day-to-day calibration priorities based on instrument condition and business need, balancing immediate calibration demands against longer-term reliability improvements, and makes independent technical decisions within the calibration and instrumentation discipline. The role ensures instrument accuracy and compliance with safety and quality standards in a regulated environment.
