Job description

• System Operation: Safely and efficiently operate high-resolution industrial CT scanning systems (e.g., micro-CT, multi-source systems).
• Scan Optimization: Determine optimal scan parameters (voltage, current, exposure, filters, voxel size) based on material density, geometry, and required resolution to minimize artifacts and maximize data quality.
• Fixture Design: Design and fabricate custom, low-density fixtures to position complex prototype parts securely without interfering with X-ray penetration.
• Dimensional Inspection: Perform full 3D inspections and compare CT volume data against nominal CAD models using advanced analysis software (e.g., Volume Graphics VGStudio MAX, GOM Inspect).
• GD&T Analysis: Evaluate complex geometric features, including wall thickness, porosity, fiber orientation, and part-to-CAD variances using strict GD&T principles.
• Reporting: Create comprehensive, visually intuitive metrology and inspection reports for design and quality engineering teams to accelerate product iterations.
