AMRT Senior NDT Inspection Engineer
$113,200–$113,200 year
On-siteGreenville, North Carolina, United States
Job Summary
Lead the design, development, and validation of advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection techniques for gas turbine, steam turbine, and generator components. Specify custom inspection probes and tooling in collaboration with global engineering and R&D teams to address unique inspection requirements. Author, approve, and maintain formal process engineering specifications while providing authoritative guidance and training to production, repair, and field service teams. Coordinate with international counterparts to align inspection strategies, support technology transfer, and conduct Probability of Detection (PoD) assessments. Mentor junior engineers and technicians to drive continuous improvement in inspection tooling and instrumentation.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited institution (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Science, or related discipline)
- 8+ years of progressive NDT engineering experience
- demonstrated depth in technique design, development, validation, industrialization, and process documentation
- ASNT NDT Level II certification (minimum) in both: Eddy Current Testing (ET) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- 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
- Willingness to travel up to 15% per year for validation testing and field services onsite customer support, and global supply chain support
- Ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government
Desired Qualifications
- Master's degree in engineering from an accredited institution (Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Science, or related discipline)
- 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
- 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
- Direct background in gas turbine, steam turbine, or generator component inspection — including blades, vanes, nozzles, wheels, rotors, windings, and casings
- 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
- Proficiency in CAD (i.e. NX, Solidworks, etc.)
- Working knowledge of fracture mechanics
- experience with other NDT technologies such as radiography, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, etc.
