Job description

• Perform ultrasonic testing (UT) inspections on composite and metallic aerospace components using approved procedures and work instructions.
• Inspect advanced composite laminates, honeycomb sandwich structures, bonded assemblies, and metallic components for manufacturing and in-service defects.
• Detect, evaluate, and characterize discontinuities such as de-laminations, dis-bonds, porosity, voids, inclusions, core crush, impact damage, cracks, laminations, and lack of bond.
• Assess bond integrity during assembly-level inspections using conventional UT, PAUT (pulse-echo, through-transmission, and Pitch catch method)
• Set up, calibrate, and verify UT equipment using approved composite reference standards with artificial defects.
• Interpret A-scan, B-scan, and C-scan data to evaluate subsurface anomalies in complex laminate and sandwich-core structures.
• Read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, inspection plans, and customer requirements.
• Verify part configuration, material type, revision status, and inspection requirements before testing.
• Evaluate inspection results against acceptance criteria and disposition parts in accordance with applicable procedures.
• Prepare inspection reports, Standard Operating Procedure, defect maps, scan records, and non-conformance documentation.
• Maintain calibration records and ensure all inspection equipment remains within calibration.
• Support root cause investigations, quality improvement activities, and corrective actions.
• Ensure compliance with aerospace quality systems, safety procedures, and applicable standards.

Requirements

Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical / Aerospace Engineering.

• UT Level II certification in accordance with NAS 410, ASNT, or equivalent certification.
• Minimum 7 -11 years of experience in ultrasonic inspection of aerospace composite and metallic structures.
• Strong knowledge of aerospace composite manufacturing processes and metallic inspection techniques.
