What is the salary range? I also noticed that you are looking for someone with a Metrology degree. Do you guys not accept military PMEL school, seeing how it is a better and more in depth school than a local community/technicial college? We are curious to know why you are not looking for a canidate with a military PMEL school. Most calibration labs look for a canidate with military PMEL school.
