About The Position

This role is for an NDT Operator on the weekend shift. No prior experience is required as training will be provided. The ideal candidate will possess a can-do attitude. While not required, manufacturing experience is a plus. The operator will be responsible for various NDT processes, including setting up and standardizing penetrant black lights, processing known defect standards, and evaluating results. They will also take measurements of pressure and water gauges, and evaluate in-use penetrant and developer. A key part of the role involves applying penetrant to aerospace parts according to aerospace specifications, understanding required dwell times, washing penetrant off parts per specifications, and controlling materials. The operator must also control developer dwell times and understand the specifics of the evaluation process for aerospace OEM specifications. Ultimately, the operator will determine if an aerospace part is acceptable or rejectable based on aerospace OEM specifications. Familiarity with the scope and limitations of Penetrant inspection using a Type I, Method A, form d system is necessary. A basic understanding of other departments within an aerospace processing facility, such as pre-penetrant etching and cleaning, post cleaning, pre-treatment, masking, shot peen, and paint, is also beneficial.
