Job Summary
We’re looking for an NDT Technician to perform non-destructive testing and evaluate aerospace components for compliance with applicable quality, customer, and regulatory requirements. In this role, you’ll use established NDT methods and inspection criteria to help verify component airworthiness while supporting safe, accurate, and efficient maintenance operations.
Work That Matters
At Chromalloy, your work directly supports aviation safety and reliability. Our teams repair and manufacture critical aerospace components used across the global aviation industry. What you do here has real-world impact—every day.
Shift: 3rd shift, Sunday-Thursday 10:30p-7:00a
What You’ll Be Doing
Perform non-destructive testing and evaluate aerospace components in accordance with approved procedures, applicable inspection criteria, and current NAS 410 certification requirements.
Perform liquid penetrant inspection and support other NDT methods, which may include radiographic, ultrasonic, eddy current, and magnetic particle testing.
Determine whether inspected components meet applicable regulatory, customer, and internal quality requirements.
Operate, maintain, and verify the calibration status of NDT equipment, inspection tools, and inspection aids.
Use fluorescent penetrant equipment such as PSM-5 panels, dwell tanks, dryers, inspection booths, spray equipment, and related systems.
Use applicable radiographic equipment and safety devices, including dosimeters, survey meters, film-processing equipment, film viewers, densitometers, X-ray tubes, and control panels.
Read and interpret blueprints, work-in-process documents, inspection procedures, equipment manuals, and other technical instructions.
Verify that required documentation and certifications are received with components and accurately record inspection activity in the Chrome System.
Ensure components are properly handled and preserved throughout the inspection and maintenance process.
Maintain continuity of inspection responsibility when work is transferred between shifts or assignments.
Assist with the development and improvement of NDT procedures for new and existing products.
Partner with engineering, quality, and production teams to introduce new repairs, improve inspection techniques, optimize workflow, and identify equipment or tooling needs.
Cross-train on components and inspection processes used throughout the facility.
Safely move parts and materials, operate applicable material-handling equipment, and perform minor equipment maintenance as needed.
Maintain a clean, orderly, and safe work area while following all health, safety, environmental, quality, and regulatory requirements.
What We’re Looking For
High school diploma or equivalent.
Current NAS 410 Level 2 certification in liquid penetrant inspection, along with certification in other applicable NDT disciplines as required by NAS 410.
Ability to meet NAS 410 near-vision and color-perception requirements.
Knowledge of NDT inspection methods, equipment, techniques, and acceptance criteria used to evaluate aerospace components.
Ability to read and interpret blueprints, work instructions, process documents, inspection procedures, and equipment manuals.
Ability to use precision measurement and inspection equipment accurately.
Mechanical aptitude and the ability to follow written, verbal, and diagram-based instructions.
Ability to perform calculations using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and standard units of measure.
Basic computer skills, including experience with Microsoft Office.
Ability to read, write, speak, and communicate effectively in English.
Ability to communicate inspection findings and technical information to production employees, supervisors, management, customers, and auditors.
Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to maintain accuracy in a deadline-driven environment.
Ability to work effectively across inspection, production, quality, and engineering teams.
Ability to operate an industrial truck or electric or pneumatic hoist, as required.
Nice to Have
Experience performing NDT inspections in an aerospace maintenance, repair, or manufacturing environment.
Experience with multiple NDT methods, including radiographic, ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle, or fluorescent penetrant testing.
Experience supporting customer, regulatory, or second- and third-party audits.
Familiarity with Lean principles and continuous improvement methods.
Experience helping develop NDT procedures, introduce new inspection techniques, or improve inspection workflow.
Work Environment & Physical Requirements
Manufacturing and inspection environment with exposure to moving equipment, inspection chemicals, and moderate to loud noise levels.
Frequent standing, sitting, reaching, and use of hands for inspection activities.
Ability to lift up to 25 lbs frequently and up to 50 lbs regularly.
Close vision, color differentiation, depth perception, and focus adjustment required in accordance with NADCAP and industry standards.
Required to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including hearing protection and safety equipment.
