Responsibilities

• Safely and efficiently operate high-resolution industrial CT scanning systems or other metrology equipment (e.g., micro-CT, Visicon, etc)
• 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
• Design and fabricate custom, low-density fixtures to position complex prototype parts securely without interfering with X-ray penetration
• Perform full 3D inspections and compare CT volume data against nominal CAD models using advanced analysis software (e.g., Volume Graphics VGStudio MAX, Polyworks, Simpleware, etc)
• Evaluate complex geometric features, including wall thickness, porosity, fiber orientation, and part-to-CAD variances using strict GD&T principles
• Create comprehensive, visually intuitive metrology and inspection reports for design and quality engineering teams to accelerate product iterations
• Perform non-destructive root-cause analysis on failed prototypes or test samples to detect internal voids, cracks, assembly defects, or material delamination
• Perform routine calibration, daily system checks, and preventative maintenance on X-ray tubes, detectors, and motion systems. Coordinate with equipment vendors for advanced maintenance needs, as needed
• When needed, manage operations for an industrial CT lab, including scheduling of internal CT lab capacity, tracking of appropriate metrics, and managing relationships with project team customers
• Maintain the lab data storage infrastructure necessary for archiving of scan data and electronic records detailing methods and techniques used in each request
