Negotiate technical requirements, and drive continuous improvement in inspection tooling and instrumentation
• Author, approve, and maintain formal process engineering specifications. Review inspection procedures, work instructions, technique sheets, and engineering specifications in accordance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASNT, ASTM, ASME, MIL, EN, ISO)
• Serve as the primary technical SME for NDT inspection, providing authoritative guidance and training on developed techniques to production, MPE, repair, field service, and quality teams on inspection-related questions, non-conformances, disposition of indications, and corrective actions
• Represent the team in internal and external technical reviews, design reviews, customer audits, and industry forums related to NDT inspection
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and technicians, contributing to the overall technical growth and capability development of the team

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering from an accredited institution (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Science, or related discipline) and 8+ years of progressive NDT engineering experience, with demonstrated depth in technique design, development, validation, industrialization, and process documentation.
• OR Minimum of 10+ years of experience in engineering or development and application of inspection technologies, as an ASNT Level III in Eddy Current Testing (ET) and/or Ultrasonic Testing (UT ), in lieu of degree.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in engineering from an accredited institution (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Science, or related discipline) preferred
• ASNT NDT Level III certification in ET and/or UT with experience in Advanced UT techniques such as Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), Full Matrix Capture / Total Focusing Method (FMC/TFM), Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) or Advanced ET techniques including pulsed eddy current, eddy current array (ECA), Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM), or rotating probe inspection preferred
• Proven experience developing inspection solutions for complex geometries, hard-to-access locations, and advanced materials typical of rotating turbomachinery or similar high-integrity applications, inclusive of custom probe and delivery mechanism design, for inspections in difficult to reach areas.
• Experience authoring and approving NDT procedures in compliance with industry standards and customer specifications, demonstrating excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex technical content to engineering peers, leadership, and global stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead technical projects from concept through implementation with minimal supervision and experience conducting or leading Probability of Detection (PoD) studies and formal inspection qualification programs
• Knowledge of EPRI, ASNT, ASME, GE Vernova, or other NDT industry standards and technical specifications
• Proficiency with NDT simulation or modeling tools (e.g., CIVA, COMSOL,) for technique optimization and virtual validation, as well as proficiency in CAD (i.e. NX, Solidworks, etc.)
• Working knowledge of fracture mechanics as well as experience with other NDT technologies such as radiography, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, etc.

Skills

• Strong analytical, diagnostic, and problem-solving capabilities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Direct background in gas turbine, steam turbine, or generator component inspection — including blades, vanes, nozzles, wheels, rotors, windings, and casings
• Knowledge of EPRI, ASNT, ASME, GE Vernova, or other NDT industry standards and technical specifications
• Proficiency with NDT simulation or modeling tools (e.g., CIVA, COMSOL,) for technique optimization and virtual validation, as well as proficiency in CAD (i.e. NX, Solidworks, etc.)
• Working knowledge of fracture mechanics as well as experience with other NDT technologies such as radiography, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, etc.
