What are the responsibilities and job description for the Ultrasonic NDE Quality Inspector position at HTI?
A day in the life
Based in Goose Creek, SC 29445, you arrive ready to protect product integrity using advanced ultrasonic methods. Your morning centers on preparing and calibrating UT instruments so every reading is trustworthy. You move to the production floor, scanning materials and components to uncover internal discontinuities, then step aside to interpret A-scans and B-scans, turning raw signals into clear, actionable insights.
After testing, you compile concise, detailed reports that feed our quality records. You huddle with engineering and production partners to discuss what the data is saying and help shape corrective actions that prevent recurrence. Midday, you contribute to continuous improvement—fine-tuning procedures, suggesting tweaks to fixtures or techniques, and documenting lessons learned. In the afternoon, you may shadow a new teammate, walking through UT procedures and reinforcing safety protocols. Before clocking out, you verify equipment condition and document calibrations, then scan recent publications to stay current on UT tools and standards.
