This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.
You will be the embedded NDT engineer on the Advanced Manufacturing team, a hands-on group of engineers, technicians, and fabricators that develops new joining, materials, and automation processes for rocket hardware. You will make sure every process the team develops can be inspected, and you will architect the automated eddy current and ultrasonic systems that inspect it at rate. You will own NDT requirements, instrumentation, and interfaces for each system and carry it through verification, qualification, and hand-off to production. You will partner closely with Blue Origin’s NDT Level III and Quality organizations, bringing their requirements into the team and representing the team’s systems for procedure approval and production acceptance. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact the development of rocket hardware and safe human spaceflight.
Passion for our mission and vision is required!
Responsibilities:
- Serve as the team’s NDT focal from concept through production hand-off. Be the first point of contact for NDT questions, and decide when specialist or enterprise NDT support is needed.
- Partner with the responsible Level III and Quality. Bring enterprise NDT requirements, procedures, and lessons learned into the team, and represent the team’s systems for procedure approval, qualification, and production acceptance.
- Design inspectability into new processes and parts. Characterize the defect types that new joining and manufacturing processes produce, select methods that detect them, and define the NDT content of process qualification plans, including correlation with destructive test and in-process data.
- Own requirements for automated NDT systems. Gather stakeholder needs and derive performance requirements: coverage, sensitivity and resolution, probability of detection, positional accuracy, standoff and normality, scan speed, throughput, and availability. Flow these requirements to instrumentation, end-effectors, motion, and data systems, and to suppliers through specifications and statements of work. Maintain verification traceability and the requirements baseline.
- Own the technical architecture of automated eddy current and ultrasonic (including phased array and through-transmission) systems. Lead trade studies on method, manipulator, coupling, commercial versus custom instrumentation, and in-house versus integrator delivery.
- Define and control interfaces between NDT instrumentation, end-effectors and fixtures, motion control, and data systems through interface control documents.
- Act as the team’s technical lead on ultrasonic and eddy current physics, within the Level III’s procedure and certification authority. Specify, integrate, and configure instruments, pulser-receivers, multiplexers, probes and transducers, encoders, triggering, and couplant delivery.
- Translate design acceptance limits into reference standards, NDT acceptance criteria, and inspection procedures, authored or co-authored with the responsible Level III.
- Plan and lead verification and qualification, including capability demonstration, probability of detection, repeatability and reproducibility, and acceptance testing.
- Set data requirements with software engineers, including formats, encoding, registration to part geometry, and traceability. Own the labeled reference data used to validate automated and AI-assisted analysis.
- Evaluate supplier NDT instruments, probes, services, and procedures.
- Lead requirements, design, and test readiness reviews. Transition qualified systems to production inspection and support them until stable.
- Mentor engineers on NDT fundamentals, instrumentation, and inspection-system requirements.

- Technical lead on at least one mechanized or automated ultrasonic or eddy current inspection system from requirements through qualification and acceptance, including architecture, instrumentation selection, integration, and capability demonstration.
- Depth in the physics of one method family (ultrasonic or eddy current) and working knowledge of the other. Ultrasonic: acoustic impedance, frequency and wavelength selection, mode conversion, attenuation, beam spread, and phased array focal laws. Eddy current: impedance plane analysis, skin depth, lift-off, phase, and probe geometry.
- Experience working under a NAS 410 / EN 4179 or ASNT SNT-TC-1A written practice, including developing or qualifying inspection techniques and procedures with a Responsible Level III.
- Working knowledge of ASTM and SAE AMS method standards, Nadcap, and AS9100.
- Working knowledge of radiography and CT, penetrant, and visual methods, sufficient to select methods and engage specialists.
- Hands-on configuration of NDT instrumentation, including setup, probe and transducer selection, encoding, triggering, multiplexing, acquisition, and calibration.
- Demonstrated authorship of equipment requirements, interface documents, trade studies, verification plans, procedures, and qualification reports, including derived requirements and traceability.
- Experience with reference standard design and probability of detection or other statistical method validation.
- Working knowledge of motion and controls sufficient to define interfaces, including robot or gantry accuracy, encoders, position-synchronized acquisition, and PLC handshakes.
- Ability to analyze inspection data in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent, and to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and material specifications.
- Ability to lead technical reviews and to work as the primary NDT expert on a multidisciplinary team.
Desired:
- Level III certification in ultrasonic and/or eddy current inspection (NAS 410 or ASNT), with dual-method a strong plus. Experience with Nadcap NDT audits.
- Experience as an embedded or sole NDT engineer on a manufacturing development or new product introduction team, working alongside a central NDT or Quality organization.
- Weld inspection experience, including friction stir and fusion welds, and characterizing the defect populations of new joining processes.
- Experience correlating NDT results with destructive testing, CT, or in-process monitoring data during process qualification.
- Robot- or gantry-integrated ultrasonic or eddy current inspection, including squirter or immersion phased array and through-transmission.
- Advanced methods such as full matrix capture / total focusing method, eddy current array, or multi-frequency eddy current.
- NDT simulation (CIVA or similar) for coverage planning and response prediction.
- Formal statistical training in probability of detection (MIL-HDBK-1823A), repeatability and reproducibility, or Six Sigma.
- Procurement specifications and statements of work for inspection equipment or automation integrators.
- Inspection of large thin-wall aluminum, titanium, nickel, or stainless structures such as stiffened panels, domes, and tank skins.
- Scan-to-CAD registration, ASTM E2339 (DICONDE), and machine-learning-assisted defect recognition.
- Master’s degree or Ph.D. in NDT, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials, or a related field.

Who's Hiring
Top Industries Hiring
- Energy
- Consulting & Professional Services
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in NDT engineer jobs.
- ASNT SNT-TC-1A or NAS 410 certification in one or more NDT methods
- Hands-on experience with ultrasonic, radiographic, or magnetic particle testing
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and weld inspection codes
- Familiarity with industry standards such as ASME, AWS, or API specifications
- Associate or bachelor's degree in engineering technology or a related technical field
- Experience writing detailed inspection reports and documenting nonconformances
Tips for Your NDT Engineer Job Search
List every active certification you hold
Employers filter hard on ASNT SNT-TC-1A and NAS 410 certifications. List each method, level, and certifying body explicitly on your resume. Burying them in a skills section or omitting the level number costs you interviews.
Tailor your resume to the industry
An oil and gas NDT posting weights corrosion inspection and API standards differently than an aerospace one weights fracture mechanics. Reframe your experience to match the specific industry vocabulary in each job description before you apply.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists ndt engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name specific method requirements
Job postings that list exact methods, such as phased array ultrasonic testing or time-of-flight diffraction, are higher-intent postings. Prioritize those over generic NDT openings. Your application should lead with direct experience in that exact method.
Prepare to demonstrate hands-on proficiency
Many NDT interviews include a practical demonstration or scenario question about defect characterization. Refresh your ability to describe how you identify, size, and document flaws under field conditions using the methods on the posting.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base pay
Per diem rates, travel reimbursement, and company-provided equipment are standard parts of NDT compensation packages, especially for field roles. Clarify the structure of these components before accepting an offer so you can compare offers accurately.
NDT Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most ndt engineers?
The most active employers for ndt engineers right now are NOV, Northrop Grumman, and Blue Origin, and the most openings are in Texas, Washington, and Utah, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to concentrate where oil and gas infrastructure, aerospace manufacturing, and power plant operations are heaviest.
How many ndt engineer jobs are remote?
About 50% of ndt engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most inspection work. The sub-areas with the highest remote share tend to be data review, report writing, and procedure development roles rather than field inspection positions.
How do you become a ndt engineer?
Start by completing a technical degree or vocational program in engineering technology, materials science, or a related field. Gain hands-on hours in a specific NDT method under a certified supervisor, then sit for ASNT or NAS 410 certification exams for that method. Build experience across multiple methods and industries to qualify for senior or engineering-level roles.
How do you get hired as an ndt engineer with little experience?
Focus on earning a Level I certification in a high-demand method such as ultrasonic or magnetic particle testing before applying. Entry-level postings in manufacturing quality control and pipeline inspection tend to be more open to candidates building their hours. Highlight any lab coursework, internship inspections, or supervised field work on your resume even if it was brief.
What does the ndt engineer interview process look like?
Most ndt engineer interviews begin with a technical screen covering your certified methods, relevant codes, and how you handle out-of-tolerance findings. A hiring manager interview follows, often including scenario questions about defect documentation and reporting. Some employers add a practical assessment where you demonstrate technique or interpret an actual test result before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to ndt engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to ndt engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your certifications and experience level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
