PURPOSE OF THE POSITION<\/p>\n
\tTo develop, maintain, and disseminate the National Measurement Standards for Force, Torque, and Hardness metrology, thereby supporting the South African and regional industry and trade.<\/p>\n
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS, AND EXPERIENCE<\/p>\n
\tThree-year tertiary qualification in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering with at least 2nd year Mathematics\/ Statistics\/ Applied Mathematics\/ Statistical Mathematics and Physics as subjects.
\n\tResearch and development experience.
\n\tSoftware development skills and Knowledge.
\n\tWorking Knowledge of hydraulics systems and electronics.
\n\tKnowledgeable on the realisation, maintenance, and dissemination of national measurement standards and related systems in the metrology field.
\n\tExperience in general programming, laboratory automation, and scientific simulation software.
\n\tExperience in the analysis of data, making corrections based on physics and statistical information.
\n\tAbility to communicate accurately and concisely in a scientific context, to construct sound arguments supported by scientific principles, technically tangible evidence, and to accurately evaluate the reliability of conclusions reached.<\/p>\n
The following will be an advantage:<\/p>\n
\tWorking knowledge of ISO\/IEC 17025 and NMISA Total Quality Management System.
\n\tAn understanding of GUM and the Estimation of Measurement Uncertainty.
\n\tWorking knowledge of relevant International Published Document Standards (IEC and ISO).
\n\tMinimum of three (3) years\u2019 work experience in a laboratory\/ technical environment (in acoustics, vibration, or metrology will be an added advantage).<\/p>\n
MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES<\/p>\n
\tDevelop\/improve National Measurement Standards in the field of force, torque\u2019 and hardness through either reducing the associated measurement uncertainty or designing and building a new measurement system to expand the measurement range or result in a new National Measurement Standard.
\n\tMaintain the National Measurement Standards in the field of force, torque and hardness to ensure preventative maintenance as well as maintenance of the Total Quality Management System.
\n\tGenerate and validate procedures for the performance of measurements in the field of force, torque, and hardness.
\n\tOperate test and measuring equipment to perform measurements in the field of force, torque, and hardness metrology.
\n\tMaintain detailed records of equipment and measurement results.
\n\tParticipate in comparisons to prove local, regional, and international equivalence of the
\n\tNational Measurement Standard, or derived Measurement Standards, for force, torque, and hardness.
\n\tGenerate certificates and\/or reports for the purpose of reporting measurement results.
\n\tGenerate measurement uncertainty budgets according to the GUM, to define the range of values, within which the true value is expected to lie with a specified level of confidence.
\n\tLiaise with stakeholders in SA and relevant Regional and International organisations, to provide input from NMISA and gather information as input to NMISA\u2019s strategic planning.
\n\tParticipate in metrology skills transfer both as a recipient and a trainer by attending courses and conferences, presenting at conferences, developing and presenting courses, or publishing papers.
\n\tProvide consultation services to RSA, and internationally, provide input to NMISA\u2019s strategic and business planning.
\n\tComply with NMISA\u2019s policies and procedures and perform all duties in line with the Total Quality Management System.
\n\tInitiate and follow up on the timely procurement of equipment, instruments, consumables, or other expenses required to execute the duties.
\n\tParticipate in local, regional, and international committees related to Metrology duties (e.g., SANAS specialist technical committees (STCs), Government departments, SABS technical committees, ISO committees, BIPM technical committees, etc.).
