· Balance quality requirements with on-time delivery expectations; escalate risks to quality or schedule appropriately.

5. Lab Operations & Continuous Improvement:

· Monitor and help maintain lab environmental and workspace conditions suitable for metrology and calibration work.

· Identify parts, consumables, and tools needed to support inventory levels and routine repairs; communicate needs to the Lab Manager.

· Assist in developing/improving methods, processes, and procedures to increase consistency, accuracy, and throughput.

6. Team Coverage & Cross-Training:
