Calibration Laboratory Technician (Entry Level)

At RBR, we’ve been designing cutting-edge instruments to measure our blue planet for over 50 years. Built to withstand the harshest environments on Earth, our instruments are deployed from the ocean’s deepest trenches to the polar ice caps, capturing essential data on water temperature, salinity, pH, and more. This data empowers researchers in the global fight against climate change, and our technology supports groundbreaking science with partners like Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Woods Hole, the Scripps Institution, and the British Antarctic Survey.

At RBR, we care deeply about our work, each other, the environment, and the global communities we serve. We value teamwork, continuous improvement, and having fun along the way. From weekly lunches to social events, we’re a crew that thrives on complex, exciting challenges that have a meaningful impact on the blue planet! Ready to make waves with us? Apply below!

As an entry level Calibration Laboratory Technician at RBR, you will be a key member of our Calibration team, responsible for performing precise and consistent calibration of RBR instruments. Your work ensures that every instrument we ship meets our high standards for measurement accuracy, directly supporting the scientists and researchers who depend on our data.

This role is a great fit if you take pride in doing repetitive work with precision and care. For you, consistency is not about routine, it is about catching the one result that does not belong. You are disciplined, methodical, and sharp enough to notice when something has changed, even after hundreds of similar measurements.

You will work alongside technicians, metrologists, and engineers as part of a small, collaborative team. Clear communication, personal accountability, and a commitment to quality are what make this environment thrive, and what will make you successful in it.
