Lead NDT Engineer - Automated Inspection (Embedded)

Blue Origin; Washington; In loco; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Blue Origin is seeking an embedded NDT engineer on the Advanced Manufacturing team to develop inspectable rocket hardware and automate NDT systems. You will own instrumentation, interfaces, and verification from concept through production hand‑off, collaborating with Level III and Quality to meet safety and performance goals.

You will influence design for inspectability, drive qualification plans, and mentor engineers in NDT fundamentals while ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, or Systems Engineering, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a related field.
• 7+ years of NDT engineering experience in ultrasonic and/or eddy current inspection, including development or integration of mechanized or automated inspection systems, in aerospace, nuclear, energy, or heavy industry.
• Technical lead on at least one mechanized or automated ultrasonic or eddy current inspection system from requirements through qualification and acceptance, including architecture, instrumentation selection, integration, and capability demonstration.
• Depth in the physics of one method family (ultrasonic or eddy current) and working knowledge of the other.
• Experience with NAS410 / EN4179 or ASNTSNT‑TC‑1A written practice, including developing or qualifying inspection techniques and procedures with a Responsible LevelIII.
• Working knowledge of ASTM and SAE AMS method standards, Nadcap, and AS9100.
• Hands‑on configuration of NDT instrumentation, including setup, probe and transducer selection, encoding, triggering, multiplexing, acquisition, and calibration.
• Authorship of equipment requirements, interface documents, trade studies, verification plans, procedures, and qualification reports.

Mansioni

• Serve as the team’s NDT focal from concept through production hand‑off.
• Partner with LevelIII and Quality to bring enterprise NDT requirements into the team.
• Design inspectability into new processes and parts; define NDT content of qualification plans.
• Own requirements for automated NDT systems and derive performance requirements.
• Lead architecture of automated eddy current and ultrasonic systems and trade studies.
• Define interfaces between NDT instrumentation, end‑effectors, fixtures, motion control, and data systems.
• Translate design acceptance limits into reference standards and inspection procedures.
• Plan and lead verification and qualification activities, including capability demonstration and detection probabilities.
• Set data requirements with software engineers and own reference data for validation.
