About The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Multi‑Site NDT Level III to support Pursuit Aerospace facilities in New York, Ohio, and Georgia. In this role you’ll serve as the technical authority for all Nondestructive Testing (NDT) and Special Process compliance activities across multiple aerospace and defense manufacturing sites. You’ll be responsible for establishing, standardizing, and maintaining NDT procedures, training programs, and certification standards for Level I and II inspectors—ensuring consistency and excellence across all locations. Responsibilities
Develop, implement, and maintain standardized NDT and special process procedures and documentation, including FPI, Pre‑Penetrant Etch, Chemical Processing (e.g., Blue Etch Anodize), Passivation, and Dry Film Lubrication. Ensure all processes comply with customer specifications, NAS410, NADCAP requirements, AS9100, and applicable government regulations. Establish and oversee calibration requirements for NDT equipment and related special process tooling. Lead the training, qualification, and certification program for Level I and II inspectors in accordance with NAS410. Serve as the Responsible Level III for all designated sites—approving procedures, methods, techniques, and process changes. Coordinate and support internal and external audits (NADCAP, customer, DoD), including root cause analysis and corrective action development. Partner with Quality, Engineering, and Program teams to ensure consistent application of NDT and special process controls across all programs and contracts. Provide expert guidance on inspection results, non‑conformance evaluations, and appropriate corrective or containment actions. Lead or support the introduction of new special processes, improvements to existing processes, and adoption of emerging NDT technologies. Act as the primary technical interface for customers and regulatory bodies regarding NDT and special process compliance. Promote strong process discipline, safety practices, and environmental compliance across all sites. Mentor and develop junior NDT personnel; contribute technical input to performance evaluations for Level I and II inspectors. Required Qualifications
5 years of aerospace or defense NDT experience, including work within NADCAP‑accredited processes. ASNT or NAS410 Level III certification in Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI). Must pass visual acuity and color exams in accordance with NAS410. Authorized to work in the U.S. on a full‑time basis without sponsorship. Must be able to perform work subject to ITAR/EAR regulations. Preferred Qualifications
Associate degree in Nondestructive Testing Technology or a related technical field. Additional NDT Level III or Level II certifications (e.g., MT, UT, RT). Experience developing and managing NDT procedures aligned with AS9100, NADCAP, and customer‑specific quality requirements. Strong understanding of special process controls, particularly within chemical or thermal processing environments. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, specifications, military standards, and OEM manuals. Excellent written and verbal communication skills for training and technical presentation. Proficiency with NDT data systems, digital tools, and NADCAP/PRI eAuditNet workflows. Experience with continuous improvement tools (e.g., Kaizen) and process optimization. Working Conditions
Significant travel to Pursuit’s sites in New York, Ohio, and Georgia (minimum 50% travel required). Work in both office and shop floor environments. Personal protective equipment (e.g., safety glasses and shoes) required on the shop floor. Occasional lifting of 20–30 lbs and weekend/evening work may be required to meet priorities. Benefits
