Non-Destructive Tester

COHO Consulting Group is seeking a Nondestructive (ND) Tester to join our team in support of a contract at Robins AFB in Warner Robins, GA.  ND Testers inspect aerospace components, parts, and materials by applying the full range of ultrasonic, eddy current, and/or radiographic and magnetic particle-liquid penetrant nondestructive inspection (NDI) techniques.

Responsibilities (include but are not limited to):

• The use of the full range of ultrasonic, eddy-current, and/or radiographic testing (x-ray), and magnetic particle-liquid penetrant inspection and testing processes. The set up and operation of equipment to examine a variety of parts, components, or material to detect hidden subsurface flaws, corrosion and separation in bonded and honeycomb structures and the interpretation of test results to determine if items are acceptable, repairable, or should be rejected.
• Identify, locate, and measure hidden and subsurface flaws, corrosion, and separation in bonded and honeycomb structures, and the integrity of welds, precision dimensional and volume measurements, and hardness of materials.
• Apply magnetic particle and/or liquid penetrant inspection to detect and interpret the relevancy of flaws in a variety of parts. Parts are numerous and varied, and are of ferrous and/or nonferrous metals, and consist of surface or near surface discontinuities in the metal such as fatigue cracks, welding overlap, cold shut, or surface cracks that may stem from internal flaws, such as pipes, inclusions, or forging.

Requirements:

• Clearance
  • Must have or be able to obtain a Secret Clearance

• Education:
  • Technical degree in a related field and/or relevant NDT experience

• Required Knowledge/Experience:
  • 2 years as a certified NDT L1 inspector
  • Experience with training, personnel testing and auditing NDT systems
  • Experience that includes a background in establishing NDT and general quality systems and NDT methods
  • Knowledge of aerospace manufacturing operations
  • Knowledge of the various shapes, sizes, and density of flaw indications in parts being
  • The ability to read and interpret quality control directives, engineering drawings, NDI literature, and technical orders concerning nondestructive testing methods and procedures, and the ability to make repairs and adjustments to equipment and instruments.
  • The ability to follow technical orders, engineering drawings, technical data, workbooks, and NDI literature to determine inspection requirements and area(s) to be examined.
  • Ability to make independent determinations during the inspection process to select the inspection technique required and the calibration procedure; and evaluate defects, their nature, size, scope, and exact locations, and independently determine if the article should be accepted or rejected.
