Role and Responsibility:

NDT Automated Defect Review — Design, configure, and optimize ADR workflows using NDT modalities such as UT, RT, EC, MT, PT, or thermography. Implement automated defect classification, signal processing, and review logic. Automation System Integration — Integrate ADR systems with robotics, PLCs, MES, SCADA, and automotive production lines. Ensure seamless communication between inspection hardware, automation controllers, and quality databases. Inspection Data Analysis — Analyze NDT data trends, defect signatures, and system performance. Develop algorithms or rulesets to improve detection accuracy and reduce false positives. Process Optimization — Identify bottlenecks in inspection and automation workflows. Implement improvements that increase throughput, reduce scrap, and enhance repeatability. Root Cause & Corrective Action — Lead investigations into defect trends, equipment failures, and process deviations using structured problem‑solving methodologies. System Validation & Calibration — Conduct validation, calibration, and capability studies for ADR and NDT systems to ensure compliance with automotive quality standards. Cross‑Functional Collaboration — Partner with Quality, Production, Maintenance, and NDT Level II/III personnel to ensure inspection systems meet operational and regulatory requirements. Documentation & Compliance — Maintain technical documentation, inspection procedures, and compliance records aligned with automotive and NDT standards. Continuous Improvement — Drive initiatives aligned with Lean, Six Sigma, and Industry 4.0, focusing on automation, digital inspection, and data‑driven quality.
