Basic Qualifications For ConsiderationDo you have or have you had a Nondestructive Inspection (NDI) Level 2 certification or equivalent (i.e., NDI trade school certification or military NDI certification)?
Typical Education/Experience
Level 1 - AA degree in related discipline. Level 2 - AA degree in related discipline and typically 1 or more years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
Other Job related information
Requires successful completion of a company sponsored, on-hours training program. In the event you do not pass this training, the result may be reassignment, reclassification or termination of employment. Must be able to pass required vision test (corrective lenses allowed). Technical School NDI Course or Military NDI certification (or equivalent) would be considered equivalent to AA degree in terms of the Typical Education And/Or Experience required for this position. Must currently hold or have previously held a NDI Level 2 certification, with documented hours, in Ultrasonic testing methods (prefer related to composite products), Radiographic and Eddy Current testing methods. Familiar with composite manufacturing and inspection processes, including nonconformance processing systems. Capable of reading and interpreting drawings and engineering specifications. Work may involve lifting, bending and working in limited/enclosed work areas. Puget Sound work location will be determined based on organizational needs. Team is transitioning to Boeing Commercial Airplanes and will continue to be chartered with design development support along with emergent manufacturing requirements.
