Penetrant & Mechanical Inspector (Level II)

Job Summary:

We specialize in machining complex geometries and difficult-to-cut alloys; your expertise in both Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and mechanical dimensional inspection is vital to ensuring these intricate designs meet the uncompromising standards of flight safety.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI): Perform high-sensitivity Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) on complex, multi-axis machined parts to detect discontinuities in aluminum, titanium, and advanced aerospace alloys.

Mechanical Dimensional Inspection:

Utilize precision hand tools—including calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and bore gauges—to verify tight-tolerance features and internal diameters against engineering blueprints.

Blueprint & GD&T Interpretation:

Read and interpret complex engineering drawings and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards for contoured structural components.

Technical Documentation:

Record, organize, and report inspection results. Generate non-conformance reports (NCRs) and collaborate with engineering and manufacturing leads to resolve root causes of defects.

Equipment Calibration:

Set up, calibrate, and perform daily/weekly process control checks on NDT equipment and mechanical measuring tools. Qualifications /

Requirements:

Certification:

Current Level II Certification in Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) in accordance with NAS-410 or

ASNT SNT-TC-1A.

Geometric Expertise:

Proven track record of inspecting high-precision components with complex geometries (e.g., 5-axis milled parts).

Mechanical Skills:

Proficiency in manual dimensional inspection and the use of standard metrology equipment.
