• Primary Inspection: Set up, process, and evaluate parts using Magnetic Particle (MT) and Liquid Penetrant (PT) methods in accordance with NAS 410 and OEM technical data.
• Process Control: Perform daily system performance checks (lighting, amperage, concentration) on the Mag Particle bench and Penetrant line.
• Documentation: Accurately record test results and generate non‑conformance reports for failed parts.
• Department Growth: Assist leadership in maintaining the internal NDT line, managing chemical inventory, and preparing for audits (FAA/Customer).

• Experience working in a machine shop or heavy industrial MRO environment.

The Ideal Candidate

You are a "gearhead" who takes pride in finding the smallest defect in a critical flight component. You are comfortable getting your hands dirty in a wet‑bench environment and prefer active shop work over sitting at a desk. You are looking for a stable, long‑term home where you can manage your own workflow.
