• Integrates subsystems and components into system architecture.
• Conducts technical reviews and assessments to ensure compliance with engineering standards and regulatory requirements.
• Prepares and maintains comprehensive engineering documentation, including inspection specifications, test reports, software documentation and technical manuals.
• Addresses customer quality concerns and lead efforts to meet or exceed customer expectations.
• Performs risk assessments, including FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and Hazard Analysis, to identify and mitigate potential quality or system risks
• Ensure proper documentation and maintenance of quality procedures, manuals, and records.
• Ensure systems are designed and built to meet customer, regulatory, and industry standards.
• Provide training, qualification, and certification of NDT inspectors
• Designs, implements, and maintains non-destructive test systems and processes aligned with industry standards (e.g., ASNT CP-189, NAS
  410 etc.) and administration of written and practical examinations
• Development of and providing instructional courses related to specific NDT disciplines
• development of inspection methods and procedures and interpreting the inspection results
• approval of written procedures used within the NDT programs
• Designs for inspection procedures at appropriate stages in the manufacturing process
• Troubleshoots and provides technical assistance for equipment problems

• Shall be certified per NAS
  410, ASNT CP-189, or equivalent as an NDT Level III in the ultrasonic method.
  • Current UT Level II certification will be considered.
