Summary

Job Description

NOV is seeking an NDT Development Engineer to support the development, testing, validation, and continuous improvement of nondestructive inspection technologies used in steel and tubular-product applications.
This is a hands-on engineering and technology-development position for someone with experience applying ultrasonic and electromagnetic NDT methods to detect flaws in steel, combined with a strong engineering or physics foundation.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities

Develop, evaluate, validate, and improve NDT inspection technologies for steel, steel pipe, tubular and related metallic products.
Apply Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), and Electromagnetic Inspection (EMI) to real-world flaw-detection problems.
Perform or support direct flaw detection in steel, including solid or hollow steel components and steel pipe.
Develop and optimize inspection techniques, scan plans, procedures, calibration methods, and inspection parameters.
Analyze ultrasonic and electromagnetic inspection data to characterize defects and improve detection capability.
Support laboratory and production testing of NDT equipment, probes, sensors, transducers, electronics, and data-acquisition systems.
Investigate inspection-system performance, sensitivity, repeatability, false calls, and defect detectability.
Troubleshoot technical issues involving NDT equipment, instrumentation, acquisition systems, and inspection processes.
Apply physics, materials, mechanical, electrical, and mathematical principles to solve NDT problems.
Support development and validation of NDE systems and inspection components from concept through implementation.
Perform analytical and experimental studies and document findings through engineering reports, technical procedures, and recommendations.
Work with engineering, manufacturing, software, quality, and operations teams to implement inspection improvements.
Use programming, simulation, modeling, signal processing, or data-analysis tools to support technology development.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

3-5 years of relevant experience preferred; consideration may be given to candidates outside this range when the technical background is highly relevant.
Hands-on experience in Nondestructive Testing / Nondestructive Evaluation.
Experience with Ultrasonic Testing (UT).
Experience with Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT).
Experience with Electromagnetic Inspection (EMI) or closely related electromagnetic NDT technologies such as Eddy Current, MFL, EMAT, or similar.
Demonstrated experience with flaw detection in steel, preferably steel pipe, tubular products, or comparable solid/hollow steel components.
Bachelor's degree or higher in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials/Metallurgical Engineering, Mathematics with relevant NDT specialization, or a related technical field.
Strong engineering problem-solving and analytical skills.
Ability to work hands-on with inspection equipment, instrumentation, and experimental systems.
Strong technical communication and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with tubular products, OCTG, steel mills, pipe manufacturing, aerospace metal inspection, railroad inspection, or other steel inspection applications.
Experience developing or validating NDT inspection systems or inspection methodologies.
Experience with signal processing, image processing, data acquisition, sensors, probes, transducers, or instrumentation.
Experience with MATLAB, Python, C/C++, C#, LabVIEW, or similar tools.
Experience with finite-element modeling or simulation, particularly involving ultrasound or electromagnetism.
Experience with defect characterization, probability of detection, inspection sensitivity, calibration, or system validation.
Familiarity with ASNT, ASTM, ASME, API, or comparable NDT standards.
Research, product development, advanced manufacturing, or laboratory experimentation experience.
