Narrative:
We were departing out of teb on the dalton departure; after climbing though 300 ft the 1000 ft chime sounded; both of us acknowledged the chime. The captain called for the autopilot to be engaged. Which I did. I stopped looking at the pfd while I competed my after take off flows. I looked back up at the pfd and noticed we had not leveled off and we were still climbing at approximately 1400 ft. I called check altitude. The captain made the correction and returned to 1300 ft. Events like this could be prevented in the future with a change to our companies standard operation procedure. By adding a call out the would acknowledge that the autopilot had indeed captured the preset altitude.
