Inspector NDT (Bilingue) - 2do Turno

Chromalloy; Mexicali; On-site; MXN 201,000 - 335,000; Full time

Job summary

Chromalloy in Mexicali seeks a Quality Inspector focusing on plasma, blend, sandblast, chemical cleaning and thermal processes. You will audit, measure, and release parts between repair stages to ensure compliance with the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM).

Required is 1–2 years in aeronautical workshops or heavy metalworking, with strong metrology skills and NDT knowledge. Knowledge of GD&T and English repair manuals is essential.

Qualifications

• Minimum 1–2 years as a process quality inspector in aeronautical workshops or heavy metalworking industry.
• Expert use of micrometers, vernier, roughness meters and thickness gauges by Eddy currents or ultrasound.
• Basic certification or knowledge in visual inspection (VT) and penetrating liquids (PT).
• Interpretation of geometric plans and GD&T, and repair manuals in English.
• Nadcap-like audit awareness for heat treatments, coatings and chemical processing.
• Able to stop a production line if a process parameter is out of tolerance.

Responsibilities

• Intermediate inspection: visually and dimensionally evaluate parts before, during, and after each process stage to authorize progress to the next station.
• Special process monitoring: audit machine parameters (furnace temps, sandblast pressure, plasma voltages, chemical baths).
• Thickness and roughness release: measure thickness after plasma and verify roughness post-sandblast.
• Blend control: inspect blended areas to ensure material removal stays within limits.
• Documentation and signatures: stamp work orders at each phase ensuring total traceability.
• Identify deviations and open corrective action reports (NCR) for non-conforming parts.

Job description

Quality Inspector focused on plasma, blend, sandblast, chemical cleaning and thermal processes, among others.

Its primary purpose is to audit, measure, and release parts between each of the stages of the repair process to ensure that they meet the limits of the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM).

Main functions in process

• Intermediate Inspection: Visually and dimensionally evaluate the parts before, during and after each critical process to authorize their progress to the next station.
• Special Process Monitoring: Audit that the operating parameters of the machines (furnace temperatures, sandblast pressure, plasma voltages, and chemical bath concentrations) strictly match the Travelers.
• Thickness and Roughness Release: Measure layer thickness after the plasma process and verify surface roughness (Ra) post-sandblast using rugosimeters and micrometers.
• Blend Control: Dimensionally inspect areas repaired by blending to ensure that material removal does not exceed the minimum engineering limits allowed by the manufacturer.
• Documentation and Signatures (Stamp): Validate and stamp work orders (Travelers) at each phase of the process, ensuring total traceability of the component.
• Non-Conforming Product Handling: Identify deviations in the process (e.g., cracks after heat treatment or defective plasma coatings), segregate the part, and open the corrective action report (NCR).

Job Requirements

Education

Complete Technical or High School (Mechanics, Aeronautics, Metallurgical or Materials).

Experience

Minimum 1 to 2 years as a process quality inspector in aeronautical workshops (MRO) or heavy metalworking industry.

Advanced Metrology

Expert use of indoor/outdoor micrometers, vernier, roughness meters, thickness gauges by Eddy currents or ultrasound.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Basic certification or knowledge in visual inspection (VT) and penetrating liquids (PT) desirable.

Technical Reading

Interpretation of geometric plans and dimensional tolerance (GD&T), as well as repair manuals in English.

Competencies and Regulatory Compliance

• Special Process Audit: Operational knowledge of Nadcap audit requirements for heat treatments, coatings (plasma) and chemical processing.
• Firm Technical Criteria: Ability to stop the production line if it detects that a process parameter (such as the temperature of a furnace) is out of tolerance.

FOD Prevention

Active monitoring to ensure that no contaminants are introduced between chemical cleaning processes and plasma application.
