Ndt Engineering Specialist Iii
Materials and Processes Engineering Department is seeking a highly skilled Non-Destructive Testing Engineer to join our expanding team. The successful candidate will work closely with M&P Engineers focusing on developing new NDI techniques, aligning M&P Engineering Specifications with best practices and clearly defining inspection requirements.
The M&P NDT Engineering Specialist III will focus on developing inspection procedures, interpreting complex data, and support the integration of advanced NDT technologies into our manufacturing. You will bridge the gap between material science and structural integrity. Serving as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) helping to qualify new manufacturing methods (e.g., Additive Manufacturing, advanced composites) and leading RCCAs for material anomalies.
Scope of work as Part of the M&P
NDT Procedures, Standards, and Requirements
- Write, review, and maintain NDT inspection procedures and techniques in accordance with industry standards such as NAS 410.
- Write and approve site-specific NDT procedures for metallic components (using traditional methods (MT/PT/UT/ET).
- Review and approve supplier-generated NDT procedures, ensuring their composite inspection techniques can detect critical flaws (e.g., porosity, kissing bonds).
NDT Systems, Equipment, and Technology
- Design and optimize NDT systems and automated inspection solutions (e.g., ultrasonic C-scans or phased array).
- Lead and support equipment qualifications e.g. C-Scan across the enterprise.
Quality Assurance, Audits, and Compliance
- Assist Operations and Supplier Quality with conducting internal and supplier audits, respectively. (Tier 1 Suppliers).
- Work closely with the Quality organization to supplement training of Level I and II technicians, providing technical guidance on difficult-to-interpret results.
Engineering & Design Support
- Support Design reviews for reference standards.
- Define NDT requirements during the engineering design phase to ensure product supportability and affordability.
Manufacturing & Production Support
- Assist the Composite Fabrication Shop with the development of strategic business plans supporting Production efficiency.
- Support M&P MRB team with discrepancies.
Failure Analysis & Investigation
- Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for material or mechanical failures identified through testing.
Soft Skills
- Attention to Detail: Ability to detect subtle defects that could compromise safety.
- Communication: Clearly explain technical findings to cross-functional teams, including production, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality, and Peer Engineering Groups.
- Problem-Solving: A methodical approach to troubleshooting equipment malfunctions or ambiguous data.
Bachelor's Degree in engineering, science or technical curriculum required or equivalent combination of education and experience sufficient to successfully perform the essential functions of the job. 8 years experience in NDT and quality systems related to working with composites and metals in manufacturing, repair and inspection of aircraft, space systems, motorsports, marine or armament. Position Purpose :
Leads successful completion of major NDT/engineering programs or conceives research in areas of considerable scope and complexity supporting the development and production of Gulfstream products and services including advanced composites and metals processes specifically with regard to production testing criteria, equipment, methodology and specification development for production acceptance testing. Capable of performing Responsible Level 3 NDT duties.
