Senior Xray Engineer - Inspection Technology

The Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Engineer will be responsible for developing computed tomography (CT) inspection solutions for new material systems and new product development. You will work with materials and design engineers, value stream engineers and shops, external vendors and GE Global Research to develop and validate new materials and components using nondestructive evaluation methods. You will have access to an array of X-ray systems and resources to help test and deploy said solutions. As those designs mature for use in products, you will have the opportunity to transition the inspection methods to a production environment. You will be tasked with staying connected with state-of-the-art technologies and identifying uses for those technologies to increase component safety and reduce manufacturing cost.
