The Inspector is responsible for maintaining part identification and traceability and for completing required penetrant system and inspection-area process-control checks. Essential Duties & Responsibilities Review work orders, drawings, technique sheets, inspection instructions, customer requirements, and applicable specifications before processing or inspecting parts. Verify part identification, quantity, material condition, and required inspection method before beginning work. Process parts through the approved Type I fluorescent penetrant inspection cycle, including precleaning as assigned, penetrant application by immersion or other approved method, removal/washing, drying, developer application, and inspection. Control penetrant and emulsifier contact times, wash time, water pressure and temperature, drying conditions, developer application, and other process variables within approved limits. Inspect components under UV-A illumination in a controlled darkened area after the required eye-adaptation period. Detect, evaluate, interpret, classify, and document relevant indications such as cracks, laps, seams, porosity, pitting, or other surface discontinuities. Determine acceptance or rejection within Level II authority using approved acceptance criteria. Mark or identify defect locations and required disposition in accordance with approved procedures.

Perform and document required daily, weekly, monthly, and periodic penetrant process-control checks, including UV-A intensity, ambient white light, system performance, water conditions, oven temperature, timer function, and other checks required by the governing procedure. Verify inspection equipment and instruments are within required calibration or verification status before use and report out-of-tolerance or nonconforming conditions. Maintain inspection and process-control records so they are complete, traceable, and ready for internal, customer, AS9100, or Nadcap review.
