• Create and update calibration procedures for permanently installed instrumentation and shipboard machinery control systems.
• Review new machinery/system designs and modifications to assess calibration impacts.
• Analyze Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) system metrics where instrument calibration influences performance or maintenance outcomes.
• Conduct calibration interval analyses and adjust calibration periodicities for selected instrumentation.
• Review Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) and Alterations Equivalent to Repairs (AERs) for calibration-related considerations.
• Provide technical guidance for waivers, deviations, and departures from specification requirements.
• Identify new technologies and processes that reduce "time-to-cal" and lower equipment Total Ownership Cost (TOC).
• Respond to high-visibility technical issues requiring rapid assessment and engineering expertise.
