The posting

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
