About The Position

The Ultrasonic Immersion Test Systems Maintenance Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, and supporting multi axis ultrasonic immersion inspection systems used in aerospace component inspection. The role ensures all equipment remains compliant with customer specific aerospace requirements, internal procedures, and applicable industry standards. This position supports a large immersion UT operation and associated auxiliary equipment in a regulated aerospace manufacturing environment. Customer Specific Aerospace Responsibilities Compliance with Customer & Industry Standards Maintain inspection systems and documentation compliance with applicable customer and industry requirements, including but not limited to: o AS9100 / AS9110 quality system requirements o NAS 410 (personnel qualification support only; maintenance does not perform inspections) o ASTM E317, E746, E1065, E1001, E1324 (system performance relevance) o OEM customer specifications (e.g. Pratt & Whitney PWA, GE S specs, MTU, Rolls Royce RRES) o Ensure equipment configuration, software versions, and hardware changes follow change control requirements, configuration management procedures and customer notification/approval when required o Support internal, customer, and regulatory audits by demonstrating equipment condition and maintenance compliance o Providing maintenance records, calibration support documentation, and corrective actions Participate in root cause investigations for customer escapes or system related nonconformances. Support customer witnessing of system qualification, requalification, and acceptance testing. System Integrity & Validation Maintain mechanical accuracy, ultrasonic repeatability, and scan integrity to meet customer acceptance criteria. Verify system performance after maintenance actions that could affect alignment, positional accuracy and signal fidelity Support engineering during new part introductions, procedure transfers, and customer driven inspection changes Core Maintenance Responsibilities Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on Ultrasonic Immersion Test Systems, including: o Motion systems (gantries, bridges, axes, encoders, motors, drives) o Ultrasonic instrumentation (pulser/receivers, multiplexers, digitizers) o Data acquisition and control hardware o Water handling systems (tanks, pumps, filtration) Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, electronic, and software-related issues on MATEC and SCANMASTER systems. Diagnose system faults using schematics, manuals, diagnostics software, and test equipment. Support system startups, shutdowns, and recovery following outages or maintenance events.
