Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Destructive Testing Technician to join our advanced manufacturing and engineering testing team. In this role, you will be responsible for conducting comprehensive destructive tests on materials and components to evaluate their structural integrity, durability, and compliance with industry standards. Your expertise will ensure that products meet rigorous quality and safety requirements, supporting the development of reliable and high-performance solutions across various sectors, including aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. The ideal candidate will possess strong mechanical knowledge, proficiency in non-destructive testing techniques, and a commitment to safety protocols.
Responsibilities
- Perform destructive testing procedures on materials and components using appropriate methods such as tensile, compression, impact, and fatigue testing to assess performance under stress.
- Conduct non-destructive testing techniques including ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), penetrant testing, and X-ray inspection to identify flaws without damaging the test specimen.
- Interpret technical drawings, schematics, and blueprints to prepare test setups accurately according to engineering specifications.
- Collect, analyze, and document data meticulously during testing processes to ensure precise results for quality control and quality assurance purposes.
- Maintain and calibrate testing equipment in accordance with ASME codes & standards to guarantee accuracy and safety during operations.
- Support manufacturing processes by testing equipment functionality, verifying compliance with safety protocols, and ensuring adherence to industry standards such as ASME.
- Prepare detailed reports outlining test procedures, results, analysis findings, and recommendations for product improvements or further testing.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to interpret test data for product development or failure analysis.
- Follow strict safety protocols during all testing activities to prevent accidents or damage.
- Assist in training team members on proper testing techniques and safety procedures.
Skills
- Extensive knowledge of non-destructive testing methods including ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), penetrant testing, and X-ray inspection techniques.
