Senior engineer

Job Summary

Perform ultrasonic testing (UT) inspections on composite and metallic aerospace components using approved procedures and work instructions. Inspect advanced composite laminates, honeycomb sandwich structures, bonded assemblies, and metallic components for manufacturing and in-service defects. Detect, evaluate, and characterize discontinuities such as de-laminations, dis-bonds, porosity, voids, inclusions, core crush, impact damage, cracks, laminations, and lack of bond. Assess bond integrity during assembly-level inspections using conventional UT, PAUT (pulse-echo, through-transmission, and Pitch catch method). Set up, calibrate, and verify UT equipment using approved composite reference standards with artificial defects. Interpret A-scan, B-scan, and C-scan data to evaluate subsurface anomalies in complex laminate and sandwich-core structures. Read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, inspection plans, and customer requirements. Verify part configuration, material type, revision status, and inspection requirements before testing. Evaluate inspection results against acceptance criteria and disposition parts in accordance with applicable procedures. Prepare inspection reports, Standard Operating Procedure, defect maps, scan records, and non-conformance documentation. Maintain calibration records and ensure all inspection equipment remains within calibration. Support root cause investigations, quality improvement activities, and corrective actions. Ensure compliance with aerospace quality systems, safety procedures, and applicable standards.
