Responsible for conducting the non-destructive testing procedure on casting samples to ensure that physical properties meet product specifications, under the direct supervision of the Quality Control Manager.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities: 

• Conduct tests on castings to ensure quality or detect discontinuities (defects) like internal fractures, corrosion, impurities and similar defects in metal using NDT methods of inspection. 

• Examine and test the physical properties of materials and components to determine their strength, hardness, toughness or other properties of metal, which could affect their performance and reliability.

• Select, calibrate, or operate equipment used in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of products or materials.

• Sort castings according to types of defects and select the appropriate method and technique for NDT inspection.

• Identify defects in solid materials using magnetic particle testing by lining up magnetic particles along the cracks and defects.

• Conduct liquid penetrant tests to locate surface cracks by coating objects with fluorescent dyes like zyglo or magnaflux, cleaning excess penetrant, and applying developer. 

• Produce radiographic images to detect flaws in objects while leaving objects intact.

• Visually examine materials, structures, or components using tools and equipment.

• Use testing processes that do not damage the structure of the object being tested.

• Interpret or evaluate test results in accordance with applicable codes, standards, specifications, or procedures.

• Document and prepare reports on non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, processes, or results.

• Follow and maintain established quality standard for aftercast department.

• Responsible for departmental safety and housekeeping.

• Perform related duties as assigned.

 Education and Experience Requirements/Preferences

- Vocational training, related on-the-job experience, or an associate degree in NDT Technology is preferred. NDT Level I certification through the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) is also preferred but not required.

- Previous experience in quality, inspection, manufacturing, or a related field is preferred, with casting industry experience considered a plus.

- **We are willing to train the right individual who has previous quality or inspection experience and demonstrates a strong willingness to learn and develop NDT skills.**

- A combination of relevant work experience, on-the-job training, and formal education will be considered.
