Salary: 12-13 LPA

About the Role:

We are hiring a Calibration Laboratory Head to lead the technical direction and quality oversight of our calibration laboratory for gas, dust, and meteorological instruments. This role involves defining calibration processes, developing SOPs, planning setups for new parameters and capabilities, and driving measurement accuracy improvement through structured testing.

Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs):

● Develop and maintain calibration SOPs, work instructions, and technical documentation across gas, dust, and meteorological parameters

● Plan and define calibration setups for new parameters, instrument types, or measurement ranges — providing technical specifications, workflow design, and environmental requirements

● Design and supervise testing experiments to identify and reduce sources of measurement error — linearity, drift, cross-sensitivity, and environmental influence studies

● Set calibration quality standards, monitor KPIs, and drive continuous improvement

● Prepare and maintain measurement uncertainty budgets and ensure traceability to national/international standards

● Build and maintain quality documentation and processes aligned to ISO/IEC 17025 standards

● Provide technical direction, training, and mentorship to the team.

Required Skills & Qualifications

● Bachelor's or Master's degree in Instrumentation, Environmental Engineering, Applied Physics, Atmospheric Science, Metrology, or a related field

● Minimum 6 years of hands-on experience in a calibration or testing laboratory environment, with a total professional experience of 6+ years preferred.

● Strong understanding of measurement uncertainty estimation and GUM methodology

● Experience with gas analyzers, dust/particulate monitors, or meteorological sensors

● Demonstrated ability to write SOPs, design calibration workflows, and build technical documentation

● Proven ability to lead and coordinate with technical teams

Nice to have

● Experience with NABL or ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation processes

● ISO/IEC 17025 Internal Auditor or Lead Assessor certification

● Experience in designing testing experiments, method validation, or accuracy improvement initiatives

● Familiarity with air quality regulatory standards and calibration protocols

● Proficiency with data analysis tools and statistical methods
