NDT Technician - Level II

Job Title

NDT Technician – Level II (Aerospace MRO)

Perkasie, PA

Quality / MRO

Carson Helicopters is a premier aviation MRO and manufacturing facility specializing in legacy aircraft. We combine extensive machine shop capabilities with advanced composite manufacturing to keep critical heavy‑lift fleets flying. We are currently internalizing our Non‑Destructive Testing (NDT) processes and looking for a lead technician to anchor this department.

We are seeking a certified NAS 410 Level II Technician to perform inspections on rotary‑wing dynamic components. This is a hands‑on role. You will be responsible for the daily processing of steel and aluminum components (gearboxes, rotor hubs, spindles) via Magnetic Particle and Liquid Penetrant methods.

• Primary Inspection:
  Set up, process, and evaluate parts using Magnetic Particle (MT) and Liquid Penetrant (PT) methods in accordance with NAS 410 and OEM technical data.
• Process Control:
  Perform daily system performance checks (lighting, amperage, concentration) on the Mag Particle bench and Penetrant line.
• Documentation:
  Accurately record test results and generate non‑conformance reports for failed parts.
• Department Growth:
  Assist leadership in maintaining the internal NDT line, managing chemical inventory, and preparing for audits (FAA/Customer).

• Certification:
  Current or previous certification as NAS 410 Level II in Magnetic Particle (MT) and Liquid Penetrant (PT).
• Experience:
  
  Minimum 3–5 years of NDT experience in an aerospace maintenance or manufacturing environment.
• Documentation:
  Must be able to provide documentation of prior training hours and OJT hours for recertification.
• Physical:
  Ability to lift/maneuver heavy aircraft components (up to 50 lbs) and stand for extended periods.
• Vision:
  Must pass Jaeger 1 (near vision) and Color Perception eye exams.

• Experience with Eddy Current (ET) or Ultrasonic (UT) is a plus, but not required for daily duties.
• Experience working in a machine shop or heavy industrial MRO environment.
• The Ideal Candidate:
  You are a "gearhead" who takes pride in finding the smallest defect in a critical flight component. You are comfortable getting your hands dirty in a wet‑bench environment and prefer active shop work over sitting at a desk. You are looking for a stable, long‑term home where you can manage your own workflow.
