Seeking a Nondestructive Test Engineer II with expertise in various NDT methods (Radiographic, Ultrasonic, Magnetic Particle, Penetrant) to support production, design, and failure analysis. Responsibilities include onsite inspection, developing new inspection techniques, creating test plans, analyzing results, and communicating findings. Requires NAS 410 Level 2 certification and experience with aerospace products.

What you'd actually do

  1. perform various non-destructive testing tasks to support production operations, developmental design, and failure analysis
  2. onsite inspection of hardware
  3. travel in support of requestors to perform evaluations offsite
  4. development of new inspection techniques for qualified methods
  5. Analysis and interpretation of results will be communicated with engineering customers and documented in engineering reports
