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.
• Vision: Must pass and maintain current eye examinations (Jaeger requirements) as required by NAS-410.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Model-Based Definition (MBD) and digital inspection techniques.
• Knowledge of additional NDT methods (e.g., Magnetic Particle, Eddy Current, or Ultrasonic Testing).
• Familiarity with AS9100 quality management systems.

Education:

High school diploma or GED

Min experience:

Minimum of 2–4 years of quality inspection experience in an aerospace manufacturing environment.
