Join the Quality Team at the PWR Canoga Park campus as a Inspector-Ultrasonic. This position Inspects ferrous and nonferrous raw stock details, brazed assemblies machined parts, diffusion bonded parts and assemblies for defects and compliance with fracture control requirements, engineering drawings, customer acceptance criteria or other critical established requirements using ultrasonic inspection equipment and processes. The primary responsibilities are listed as follows:
•Plan the methods and determine the type of ultrasonic equipment required to inspect the internal structure of ferrous and nonferrous metal materials, machined parts, and diffusion bonded parts, assemblies, and weldments composed of a variety of materials in structures subject to high stress, temperature or pressure.
•Set up and operate immersion and contact ultrasonic equipment for inspection of machined and detail parts, assemblies, weldments and materials, including those having high stress, temperature or pressure limits to exacting tolerances where accessibility requires the use of special probes and variations in surfaces, thickness or materials result in critical acoustical interference.
•Follow established manuals and standards and/or develop procedures when standards are not specified. Prepare materials, parts and assemblies for inspection. Improvise and adapt equipment.
•Monitor equipment and make adjustments during inspection to compensate for non-relevant ultrasonic signals. Adjust sensitivity and attenuation controls within marginal material responses and equipment operating conditions. Setup and operate peripheral computer controlled; equipment to input ultrasonic base line data in conjunction with ultrasonic equipment operations. Under direction from and contour wedges and shoes or other required components for proper application of ultrasonic equipment.
•Inspect and interpret readings on oscilloscope screens or ultrasonic recordings of machined parts, diffusion bonded parts, assemblies and weldments including those having high stress, temperatures or pressure limits. Analyze and interpret indications of flaws, defects, normal discontinuities or interference. Detect and identify all flaws and defects including exact size and shape, mark location of defects on material, parts and assemblies and determine acceptability.
•Record inspection results manually or with the aid of a computer or computer based systems.
•Accept or reject items in compliance with fracture control specifications or other critical customer requirements. Order rejection and rework or sign off items as acceptable.
