Penetrant & Mechanical Inspector Level II

Job Description Job Description 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.
