NDT Subject Matter Expert – Laser Shearography (Level II / Level III)

What You'll Do6

• Manually examine laser shearography data, including fringe patterns and interferograms, to detect and describe defects in composite materials.
• Interpret technical case papers, test logs, and inspection limits for aerospace applications using NDT standards.
• Assess defect types, severity, and potential impact on composite structures, and provide detailed written rationale for each decision.
• Produce thorough written feedback on inspection findings to help refine technical protocols.
• Work remotely with project managers and technical stakeholders through clear written and verbal communication.
• Complete all assessments and reviews without using AI tools to maintain manual inspection integrity.

Requirements7

• Current ASNT, NAS 410, or ISO 9712 Level II or Level III certification in Laser Shearography or a related NDT method.
• Extensive hands-on experience with laser shearography, especially in aerospace or advanced composite inspection.
• Proven ability to interpret shearography fringe patterns and optical interferometry data for defect evaluation.
• Strong analytical skills for defect identification, root cause analysis, and reporting under stringent aerospace standards.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including technical documentation and collaborative problem-solving.
• Familiarity with industry best practices for non-destructive inspection of composite materials.
• Experience providing technical guidance or quality engineering for similar NDT projects, with direct inspection or review background highly valued.

Who Should Apply

This role suits NDT professionals with Level II or III certification in laser shearography and a background in aerospace composite inspection. You should be comfortable manually interpreting fringe patterns and interferograms and writing detailed technical feedback. No AI experience is required.
