Hey Mark,

Rick Kraft at the LBL machine shop forwarded me this position for a metrology technician/CMM operator. Could you send it out to the newsletter?

LBL recently purchased new equipment for some big projects. (I believe they're doing a major upgrade to their x-ray user facility.) They're looking for folks with Zeiss Calypso experience. What a dream job!
